Plenty of hadrons have been established experimentally, yet the nonperturbative nature of the strong interaction complicates a comprehensive understanding of their internal structure, particularly for exotic hadrons that extend beyond…
We study the bound-free electron-positron pair production in relativistic heavy ion collisions to different bound states in a full Plane Wave Born Approximation (PWBA) calculation. Exact Dirac wave functions are used for both the bound…
We suppose that overall strangeness production in both high energy elementary and heavy ion collisions can be described within the framework of an equilibrium statistical model in which the effective degrees of freedom are constituent…
Experimental evidence has been growing for the existence of both molecular and exotic dibaryons. The former are dominated by hadron and the latter by quark-gluon degrees of freedom. Exotic dihadrons are of particular interest because their…
An effective model with constituent quarks as fundamental degrees of freedom is used to predict the relative strangeness production pattern in both high energy elementary and heavy ion collisions. The basic picture is that of the…
Measured hadron yields from relativistic nuclear collisions can be equally well understood in two physically distinct models, namely a static thermal hadronic source vs.~a time-dependent, nonequilibrium hadronization off a quark-gluon…
Electron-positron pair production is considered in the relativistic collision of a nucleus and an anti-nucleus, in which both leptons are created in bound states of the corresponding nucleus-lepton system. Compared to free and bound-free…
We point out that the new exotic resonances recently reported by LHCb in the $J/\psi p$ channel are excellent candidates for photoproduction off a proton target. This test is crucial to confirming the resonant nature of such states, as…
The near-threshold exotic hadrons such as $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$ are naively considered as the hadronic molecular state from the viewpoint of the low-energy universality. However, it is also known that the elementary dominant state is not…
Hadronic resonances, with lifetimes of a few fm/\textit{c}, are key tools for studying the hadronic phase in high-energy collisions. This work investigates resonance production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13.6$ TeV and in Pb$-$Pb…
The production of heavy quarks at large $\pt$ ($\pt\gg m$) in hadronic collisions is considered. The analysis is carried out in the framework of perturbative fragmentation functions, thereby allowing a resummation at the NLO level of final…
The quark model was formulated in 1964 to classify mesons as bound states made of a quark-antiquark pair, and baryons as bound states made of three quarks. For a long time all known mesons and baryons could be classified within this scheme.…
Validity of the coalescence model of exotic atom formation in the ion collisions is studied . An estimate is given for the rates of P state production in the electric fields of the colliding ions . Possibilities of quantum beat effects are…
The formation of hadrons is a fundamental process in nature that can be investigated at particle colliders. As several recent findings demonstrate, with $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions as a "vacuum-like" reference at one extreme, and central…
Motivated by recent experimental progress in establishing the likely existence of (variants of) exotic hadrons, predicted to be formed by the strong interactions, various proposed concepts and ideas are compiled in an attempt to draft a…
We try to motivate from QCD a pattern of production in various reactions of (non)exotic resonances. A higher penalty for extra q\bar{q} production in e^+ e^- collisions than in collisions with a nucleon target may explain the absence of…
We investigate the possibility of clarifying internal structure of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions. In particular, the constituent-counting rule could be used for determining the internal configuration in large-angle…
Compared to charmonium-like states, exotic hadrons associated with $b$-quark offer distinct advantages for exploring the nature of multiquark phenomena and the dynamics of the strong interaction. Due to the heavier bottom quark mass,…
I review recent progress in understanding inclusive quarkonium production in hadron collisions. The first part focuses on non-relativistic QCD as an effective theory. I discuss its differences from and similarities with effective theories…
Recent experimental observations on the `bulk' features of particle production at high (pseudo)rapidities will be reviewed. This kinematic region is of interest mostly because of its relevance to the theoretical description of initial state…
