Exotic states of matter in heavy meson decays

Abstract

The potential of decays of mesons containing heavy quarks [including $B$ mesons and the ${\rm Y}(1S)$] for producing final states of matter with unusual quark configurations, such as $qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ or $qqqq\bar{q}$, is investigated. The usefulness of antineutron detection in such searches is stressed.
