# Mission Target: Exotic Multiquark Hadrons -- Sharpened Blades

## TL;DR

This paper reviews recent experimental evidence and theoretical ideas on exotic multiquark hadrons, aiming to improve the understanding of their formation and properties within quantum chromodynamics.

## Contribution

It compiles and discusses various concepts to enhance the theoretical interpretation of exotic hadrons based on recent experimental progress.

## Key findings

- Recent experimental evidence supports the existence of exotic multiquark hadrons.
- Various theoretical models are being developed to explain their structure.
- Progress is made towards a coherent quantum field theory description of exotic hadrons.

## Abstract

Motivated by recent experimental progress in establishing the likely existence of (variants of) exotic hadrons, predicted to be formed by the strong interactions, various proposed concepts and ideas are compiled in an attempt to draft a coherent picture of the achievable improvement in the theoretical interpretation of exotic hadrons in terms of the underlying quantum field theory of strong interactions.
