All research projects of this Research Group belong to the field of hadron spectroscopy. Its goal is to answer the last questions of the strong interaction. Within this Research Group the search and investigation/characterization of exotic states in the Charm- and the Light-Quark regime are of interest. The internal structure of exotic states is different from the hadronic ground states (mesons and baryons). Until today only a few candidates of exotic states could be identified. In order to get an conclusive answer it is necessary to measure the complete spectrum of particles with the same internal structure. Therefore, it is important to investigate several final states independently, in order to get as much information as possible about exotic final states. Only by following this path a discrimination between various models becomes possible.Within this research project only final states will be investigated and characterized which contain a pair of "charmed" mesons, one with a charm-quark and the second with an anticharm-quark (open charm final state). These measurements complement the studies of the two other research projects within the Research Group. They investigate final states with charmonium or antibaryon-baryon final states.
