Coupled channel approach to the structure of the X(3872)
Abstract
We have performed a coupled channel calculation of the sector including and molecular configurations. The calculation was done within a constituent quark model which successfully describes the meson spectrum, in particular the sector. Two and four quark configurations are coupled using the model. The elusive X(3872) meson appears as a new state with a high probability for the molecular component. When the mass difference between neutral and charged states is included a large component is found which dominates for large distances and breaks isospin symmetry in the physical state. The original state acquires a sizable component and can be identified with the X(3940). We study the and decays finding a good agreement with Belle and BaBar experimental data.
