Meson-Meson molecules and compact four-quark states

arXiv:1001.4876 · doi:10.1063/1.3483367

Abstract

The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of meson spectroscopy, beyond the simple quark--antiquark configurations. In this talk we review some recent studies of multiquark components in the charm sector and discuss in particular exotic and non-exotic four-quark systems.
