Implications of Missing Resonances in Heavy Ions Collisions

Abstract

Between 2004 until today many new resonances in the QCD spectrum have been added by the Particle Data Group. However, it is still possible that there are further states that have yet to be measured, as predicted by Lattice QCD calculations and Quark Models. In this paper I review how these missing states would influence the field of heavy-ion collisions. Additionally, the quantum numbers that characterize these missing states are also discussed.
