Is X(3872) a molecule?
C. E. Thomas, F. E. Close
We show that the literature on pion exchange between charm and bottom mesons is inconsistent. We derive the formalism explicitly, expose differences between papers in the literatur…
Search for tetraquark candidate Z(4430) in meson photoproduction
Xiao-Hai Liu, Qiang Zhao, Frank E. Close
We propose a search for the newly discovered tetraquark candidate Z(4430) in photoproduction. Based on the Belle results we show that if Z(4430) is a genuine resonance, its signifi…
Three flavours of Hybrid or exhange: which is more attractive?
Frank Close
This review summarises issues that have arisen since the appearance of "Rumsfeld Hadrons". We show that signals ; Y(4260) and in the \ssbar, \cc and \bb share f…
Dynamics of hadron strong production and decay
T. J. Burns, F. E. Close, C. E. Thomas
We generalize results of lattice QCD to determine the spin-dependent symmetries and factorization properties of meson production in OZI allowed processes. This explains some conjec…
Glueballs: A central mystery
F. Close
Glueball candidates and qqbar mesons have been found to be produced with different momentum and angular dependences in the central region of pp collisions. This talk illustrates th…
Determining the Gluonic Content of Isoscalar Mesons
Glennys R. Farrar
The gluonic widths of four leading glueball candidates are determined from their production in radiative quarkonium decays, allowing quantitative estimation of their glue content.…
