Abstract

We study in the framework of a constituent quark model the possible contributions of molecular structures to the XYZ charmonium like states. We analyze simultaneously the ccˉc\bar{c} structures and the possible molecular components in a formalism which allows us to treat channels below and above thresholds. The only molecular state found in the 1++1^{++} sector correspond to the X(3872). Molecular resonances also appear with other quantum numbers. So, the so called Y(3940) and the X(3915) are suggested to be JPC=0++J^{PC}=0^{++} charmonium states. In the JPC=1J^{PC}=1^{--} sector we also found significant contributions of the molecular structures which can affect the phenomenology.
