The internal structure of the scalar meson f0 (980) remains an open question, with competing interpretations as a conventional qq ̄ state, a tetraquark, or a loosely bound K +K − hadronic molecule. This thesis investigates the molecular hypothesis through a Monte Carlo coalescence calculation applied to proton–proton collisions at √ s = 5.02 TeV. Kaon phase-space distributions are generated with P
