Description
Since ten years ago a host of exotic resonances have challenged the ususal quarkonium picture. A number of ideas have been put forward to explain these new states, but a comprehensive framework is still missing. We present here results on $X(3872)$ production in $pp(\bar p)$ collisions obtained with Monte Carlo hadronization methods and illustrate what can be learned from their use to improve our understanding of exotic states. A comparison with antideuteron production is proposed. Hadronization might be the key to solve the problem of the extra states expected in diquark-antidiquark models.
