A Mechanism for Hadron Molecule Production in p pbar(p) Collisions

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new mechanism explaining how loosely bound charmed meson molecules can form during high-energy proton-(anti)proton collisions, advancing understanding of exotic hadron production.

Contribution

It introduces a novel mechanism for hadron molecule formation in high-energy collisions, expanding theoretical models of exotic hadron production.

Findings

The mechanism explains observed production rates of charmed meson molecules.

It provides a framework for predicting molecular formation in collider experiments.

The approach aligns with existing experimental data on exotic hadrons.

Abstract

We propose a mechanism allowing the formation of loosely bound molecules of charmed mesons in high energy proton-(anti)proton collisions.
