Description
We analyze the finite-temperature properties of the X(3872), assuming it to be a tetraquark, with a focus on its formation and survival within the extreme environment of heavy-ion collisions. Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the large-Nc limit, we estimate the potential of this exotic state from zero-temperature lattice QCD results of hybrid potentials. Extending this framework to finite temperatures we explore the conditions necessary for X(3872) formation and its in-medium dissociation. We also implement a dynamic coalescence model, which provides a mechanism for the regeneration of X(3872) inside the quark-gluon plasma. The framework is versatile, with applications to other exotic hadrons, making it a valuable tool for understanding the fate of exotic QCD bound particles in extreme conditions.
