Tcs and Tcs¯ Family Production in Multi-Production Processes

The production mechanism of multiquark exotic hadrons in high energy multiproduction processes lies in the structure of the relevant exotic hadrons as well as in some important aspects of high energy scattering, such as multi-parton interactions, underlying events, etc. At mass pole around 2900 MeV, a family of open charm tetraquarks, Tcss and Tcs¯s, are observed in B decay. They are also suitable for study in multiproduction processes to obtain more information on their structure. If these resonances are produced as compact four-quark states, one can predict the production properties based on the similarities in their production mechanism to those of Ξc, Σc, and Λc. Physics implies that the colour and baryon number fluctuations of the preconfinement system in high energy scattering can enhance both the baryon and four-quark state production rates via ‘diquark fragmentation’. We calculate the production properties of the tetraquark family Tcss and Tcs¯s at LHC energy for the forthcoming LHC measurements.

Production of Strange and Charm Hadrons in Pb+Pb Collisions at sNN = 5.02 TeV

Using a quark combination model with the equal-velocity combination approximation, we study the production of hadrons with strangeness and charm flavor quantum numbers in Pb+Pb collisions at sNN= 5.02 TeV. We present analytical expressions and numerical results for these hadrons’ transverse momentum spectra and yield ratios. Our numerical results agree well with the experimental data available. The features of strange and charm hadron production in the quark–gluon plasma at the early stage of heavy ion collisions are also discussed.
