Exotic Cousins of the Proton: Tetraquarks, Pentaquarks and Hadronic Molecules

Learn about exotic hadrons, including tetraquarks, pentaquarks, and hadronic molecules in this physics colloquium lecture delivered by Tel Aviv University's Marek Karliner. Explore the fascinating world of particle physics beyond conventional protons through an in-depth 72-minute presentation that delves into the structure and properties of these exotic quantum configurations. Discover how these unusual particle combinations differ from standard hadrons and their significance in advancing our understanding of quantum chromodynamics and strong interactions in particle physics.
