Strong coupling for Z(4430)
Why care exotics?
QCD does not eliminate the existence of hadrons beyond simple (qq) or (qqq) as a color-singlet system.
• How confinement manifests itself at large distances?
• What leads to the chiral symmetry spontaneous breaking?
• What are the proper effective degrees of freedom for a hadron?
• … …

Numerical results
a0
• Forward peaking due to pion exchange
• Threshold enhancement similar to charged production
• Negligibly small a0 exchange
• Other quantum numbers 1 and 0 are also investigated (X.-H. Liu, Q.Z. and F.E. Close, PRD in press; arXiv:0802.2648[hep-ph] )

Background contributions
Experimentally, one looks at n as final particles in the detector. (I) Signal transitions are as below:
(II) Background contributions due to diffractive production:

Z(4430), if exists, will stand out of the background in photoproduction.
Perspective
Z(4430) could be the first indisputable exotic meson, a hidden charm system with isospin I=1.
If it is a genuine resonance, its photoproduction will be favored in n channel. A search for it at H1 and ZEUS might help clarifying this issue.
A search for Z(4430) and its partners is necessary.
