Description

The fascination with the exotic transcends all disciplines. Hadronic, or strong interaction physics has not been immune from it. Time and again it has come up with ideas of exotic hadrons. Time and again they turn out to be mirages. But then, once in a while, the exotic materializes, and all the past failures pale into the excitement of those discoveries. I will present a tour through some of these ups and downs of exotica in hadronic physics.
