DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Brian Cole\n\nQuantum chromodynamics (QCD)\, the gau
 ge theory of the strong interaction\, is characterized by confinement and 
 asymptotic freedom. While perturbative QCD is well established at high ene
 rgies\, the non-perturbative regime\, governing the formation and dynamics
  of hadrons\, remains a major challenge in particle physics. Exotic hadron
 s\, with internal structures beyond conventional mesons and baryons predic
 ted by the quark model\, serve as a powerful probe of non-perturbative QCD
 . Among them\, open-charm tetraquarks\, a class of exotic states carrying 
 a nonzero charm quantum number\, were first observed by the LHCb experimen
 t in 2020\, opening a new avenue in hadron spectroscopy.The LHCb experimen
 t at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN\, with its precise vertex reconstru
 ction\, excellent particle identification and flexible trigger\, is well s
 uited for studying exotic hadrons in heavy-flavour decays. Recent LHCb res
 ults on open-charm tetraquarks are presented and compared with related mea
 surements. Future prospects are also discussed.You are all very welcome! T
 he traditional tea and biscuits will take place after the seminar.\n\nhttp
