Popis: We deploy a kinetic-rate equation to evaluate the transport of $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $B_c$ and X(3872) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compare their production yields to experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider. The rate equation has two main transport parameters, i.e., the equilibrium limit and reaction rate for each state. The temperature-dependent equilibrium limits include charm- and bottom-quark fugacities based on their initial production. The reaction rates for charmonia, bottomonia and $B_c$ rely on charm- and bottom-quark masses as well as binding energies from a thermodynamic $T$-matrix approach. For the X(3872) particle, its internal structure information is encoded in reaction rates and initial conditions in the hadronic phase via two different scenarios: a loosely bound hadronic molecule vs. a compact diquark-antidiquark tetraquark.
