Description
In the last decade, hadron spectroscopy has unveiled a wealth of states that
do not have the properties expected of particles composed of 2 or 3 valence
quarks. Foremost among these is the X(3872), which is thought to contain
a ccbar pair plus two light quarks. In heavy ion collisions, these multiquark
states are especially sensitive to a range of phenomena that can suppress or
enhance their production. With a full range of precision vertexing, tracking,
and particle ID capabilities covering forward rapidity, the LHCb experiment is
especially well suited to measurements of both prompt and non-prompt exotic
hadrons. This talk will present recent LHCb measurements of exotic hadrons,
including the first measurement of the nuclear modification factor of the exotic
hadron X(3872) in pPb collisions.
