Abstrakt: The observation of many unexpected states decaying into heavy quarkonia has challenged the usual QQ¯ interpretation. One of the most studied exotic states, the X(3872), happens to be copiously produced in high-energy hadron collisions. We discuss how this large prompt production cross-section disfavors a loosely-bound molecule interpretation for this particle. This is supported by Monte Carlo simulations, and by a comparison with extrapolated light nuclei data by ALICE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
