Only first observations of particles with $5\sigma$ significance are listed. $q$ stands for $u$ or $d$. If a peak is observed and later resolved into several components, both papers are listed but particles are not double counted. This page uses the naming convention of arXiv:2206.15233

1. Previously known narrow $D_{s}(2860)^-$ resolved into a wide spin-1 and a narrow spin-3 state. We therefore consider the spin-1 state to be new.
2. Charged and neutral states seen. The masses reported here are those of the neutral state (using the "empirical fit"). The heavier state could be the $B_J(5970)$ seen by CDF.
3. A state $X(4740)$ was reported by LHCb with properties that are consistent with those of the $X(4700)$ state. It is not listed here.
4. Two peaks are observed. One is the $B_c(2S)^+$, the other likely the partially reconstructed $B_c^*(2S)^+$. The mass of the $B_c(2S)^{*+}$ is determined to be $m(B_c^{*+}(2S))-m(B_c^{*+}) = 567.0\pm1.0$ MeV.
5. A third state, $\Xi_c(2965)^0$, is observed, but it is not yet clear if it differs from the known $\Xi_c(2970)^0$ baryon.
6. These states decay to $BK$ and thus have natural spin-parity, making them $B_s^*$ states. But the possibility of the peak being produced through $B^*K$ with a missing photon is also discussed in the paper. This comment potentially applies to other states discovered in prompt production.
7. The mass of the $T^{\theta}_{\psi s1}(4000)^+$ state is consistent with that of the $T^{\theta}_{\psi s1}(3985)^+$ reported by BESIII but its width is significantly larger.
8. Also, $X(3960)$ most likely has strange content while $\chi_c(3915)$ doesn't.
9. The significance of this resonance in the $B^0$ fit alone is $4.0\sigma$ but is above $5\sigma$ if it is assumed to be the isospin partner of the $T^{\theta}_{\psi s1}(4000)^+$.
