Tetra-quarks, penta-quarks and the like: old and new views


Abstract in English

In this talk, after a short overview of the history of the discovery of tetra-quarks and penta-quarks, we will discuss a possible interpretation of such states in the framework of a 40-years-old string junction picture that allows a unified QCD description of ordinary mesons and baryons as well as multi-quark resonances.
