Introduction : exotic hadrons
Production in pp and AA
XIII International Workshop on Hadron Physics
What are exotic hadrons ?
What can we learn from them ?
Were they observed ?
Yes ! In many experiments: e+e- , pp, AA (?)
20 new states ! Best known: X(3872) (PDG)
Does the theory (QCD) reproduce the data ?
Lattice QCD: so far, results are inconclusive
QCD Sum Rules: supports the existence of some of these states
Effective Lagrangians: support the existence of some of these states
Quark models: reproduce data but have less predictive power
Mass spectrum and decay width: QCD at low energies
Production: particle production in QCD at high energies.
New hadrons: which are not or states. Multiquark systems !

Work in progress…
Next: go back to the rate equation with new cross sections !
We want to use HIC to know the structure of the X
X is produced at the end of the plasma phase by quark coalescence
Quark coalescence is sensitive to the X wave function
In the hadron phase X can be produced and destroyed
EL depend on the internal structure only through the coupling constants
This is described by Effective Lagrangians.
For tetraquarks coupling constants can be calculated with QCD sum rules
Summary
Here we have improved the Effective Lagrangian approach
