TL;DR

This paper explores the unitarity of the exclusive quark combination model, discussing its implications for exotic hadron production, entropy change, and charmonium production in many-quark systems, with additional insights on bottom quark energy loss.

Contribution

It provides a theoretical analysis of unitarity in quark combination models and predicts phenomena related to exotic hadrons and quark energy loss mechanisms.

Findings

Unitarity ensures total probability conservation in quark system transitions.

Predictions on exotic hadron production and entropy changes.

Insights into bottom quark energy loss comparable to light quarks.

Abstract

Confinement indicates an asymptotic quark state not observable except its energy is zero. Unitarity indicates that the total probability of a definite state of quark system to transit to any final state is exactly one. This talk reviews some important conclusions/predictions from the basic properties like unitarity of the combination model, as addressed by the title. We also in the Postscript section address the bottom quark energy loss. In the discussions around the dinner table in the Rencontre, the author combined the large transverse momentum J/Psi suppression and the contribution to J/Psi by B decay in large transverse momentum, made the expectation that bottom quark energy loss could be quite similar as light quark for b quark transverse momentum enough larger than b quark mass. This refers to the physical picture of the jet-medium interaction introduced in la Rencontre de l'annee derniere.
