  2. Outline • Motivation initiated by Belle results • Photoproduction of Z(4430) • Summary

  3. Belle results K0 s d b W d B+ Z+(4430) c c u u d c  Z+(4430) c c c u d  u Belle Collaboration, PRL(2008); arXiv:0708.1790[hep-ex]

  4. First charmonium with isospin I=1 ! Tetraquark state? (Ebert etal; Rosner; Maiani et al; Lee) Molecular state of D*D1? (Bugg; Liu et al) Subthreshold effects due to D*D1? (Bugg; Chao et al) Baryonium? (Qiao) …… Why not seen in J/ ? Can it couple to c? Where are its flavor partners? …… Strong coupling for Z(4430)

  5. Why care exotics? QCD does not eliminate the existence of hadrons beyond simple (qq) or (qqq) as a color-singlet system. qq Glueball Hybrid Tetraquark Molecule state • How confinement manifests itself at large distances? • What leads to the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking? • What are the proper effective degrees of freedom for a hadron? • … …

  8. Quantum numbers A vector (1) and pseudoscalar (0) can make a Z of JP= 1, 0, 1, 2in a relative S or P wave. , 1 Z+(4430) L = 0, 1  , 0

  9. Approach with effective Lagrangians   Z+  p n with Form factor for pion exchange:

  13. Numerical results 1 1  a0 • Forward peaking due to pion exchange • Threshold enhancement similar to charged  production • Negligibly small a0 exchange • Other quantum numbers 1 and 0 are also investigated (X.-H. Liu, Q.Z. and F.E. Close, PRD in press; arXiv:0802.2648[hep-ph] )

  14. H1 at DESY Peak area for Z(4430)

  15. Background contributions Experimentally, one looks at  n as final particles in the detector. (I) Signal transitions are as below: (II) Background contributions due to diffractive  production: Vacuum Pomeron exchange

  16. Contributions from J/ Define: With and the cross sections are still sizeable.

  17. Dalitz plot Z(4430) band Total xsection for p  + n Z(4430), if exists, will stand out of the background in photoproduction.

  18. Perspective • Z(4430) could be the first indisputable exotic meson, a hidden charm system with isospin I=1. • If it is a genuine resonance, its photoproduction will be favored in n channel. A search for it at H1 and ZEUS might help clarifying this issue. • A search for Z(4430) and its partners is necessary.
