Abstract

We analyze two recent reactions of Belle, producing DDˉD\bar D and DDˉD\bar D^* states that have an enhancement of the invariant DDˉD\bar D, DDˉD\bar D^* mass distribution close to threshold, from the point of view that they might be indicative of the existence of a hidden charm scalar and an axial vector meson states below DDˉD\bar D or DDˉD\bar D^* thresholds, respectively. We conclude that the data is compatible with the existing prediction of a hidden charm scalar meson with mass around 3700 MeV, though other possibilities cannot be discarded. The peak seen in the DDˉD\bar D^* spectrum above threshold is, however, unlikely to be due to a threshold enhancement produced by the presence, below threshold, of the hidden charm axial vector meson X(3872).
