Explicitly exotic heavy flavor mesons
arXiv:2607.13310
The paper reviews recent work on exotic hadrons, focusing on heavy‑flavor mesons containing charm and strange quarks, and predicts a new exotic meson whose properties cannot be described by a simple quark‑antiquark picture.
Abstract
In this talk, I summarize the highlights of our recent and ongoing work on exotic hadrons involving explicitly exotic heavy-flavor mesons. By heavy flavors, I refer in particular to strange and charm quarks. As discussed in this manuscript, several puzzle-like features appearing in recent experimental data can be understood in terms of coupled-channel interactions. The main result is the prediction of an exotic meson carrying both charm and strangeness quantum numbers, whose properties cannot be explained as those of a simple quark-antiquark bound state. I also discuss the future prospects of our research program on this topic.
