We study prompt hadroproduction of the charged bottomonium-like states Zb± （10610） and Zb±（10650）, and the charged eharmonium-like states Zc± （3900） and Zc± （4020）, at the Tevatron and the ...We study prompt hadroproduction of the charged bottomonium-like states Zb± （10610） and Zb±（10650）, and the charged eharmonium-like states Zc± （3900） and Zc± （4020）, at the Tevatron and the LHC, provided that these states are S-wave hadronic molecules. Using two Monte Carlo event generators, Herwig and Pythia, to simulate the production of heavy meson pairs, we derive an order-of-magnitude estimate of the production rates for these four particles. Our estimates yield a cross section at the nb level for the Zb（10610） and Zb（10650）. The results for the Zc（3900） and Zc （4020） are larger by a factor of 2~30. These cross sections are large enough to be observed, and measurements at hadron colliders in the future will supplement the study using electron-positron collisions, and therefore allow to explore the mysterious nature of these exotic states.展开更多
