Abstract

We explore the possible existence of the JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{+-} counterpart of the X(3872)X(3872) state in a coupled-channels calculation within a constituent quark model, with the aim of confirming the existence of the so-called X~(3872)\tilde{X}(3872) state observed by the COMPASS Collaboration. Two states are found in the energy region of the X~(3872)\tilde X(3872) signal, both with almost equal mixture of ccˉc\bar c 21P12^1P_1 state and DDˉ()D^*\bar D^{(*)} channels: One that can be identified as the dressed ccˉc\bar c 21P12^1P_1 and a bound state below the DDˉD\bar D^* threshold. We provide predictions of strong and radiative decays that could help to clarify the existence of such structures.
