Abstract

In the past twenty years, many new hadrons that are difficult to be explained within the conventional quark model have been discovered in the quarkonium region, which are called exotic hadrons. Belle II experiment, as the next-generation BB factory, provides a good platform to explore them. The charmonium-like states can be produced at Belle II in several ways, such as BB meson decays, initial-state radiation processes, two-photon collisions, and double charmonium productions. The bottomonium-like states can be produced directly in e+ee^+e^- colliding energies at Belle II with low continuum backgrounds. Belle II plans to perform a high-statistics energy scan from the BBˉB\bar B threshold up to the highest possible energy of 11.24 GeV to search for new YbY_b states with JPCJ^{PC} = 11^{--}, XbX_b (the bottom counterpart of χc1(3872)\chi_{c1}(3872) (also known as X(3872)X(3872))), and partners of ZbZ_b states. In this paper, we give a mini-review on the status and prospects of exotic hadrons at Belle II.
