Abstract

Motivated by the recent discovery of a charmonium X(3960)X(3960) in BB decays by the LHCb Collaboration, the likely existence of two bound/virtual states (denoted by Xssˉ X_{s\bar{s}} and Xqqˉ X_{q\bar{q}}) below the Ds+DsD_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} and DˉD\bar{D}D mass thresholds has been re-examined recently. In this work, we employ the effective Lagrangian approach to calculate their production rates in BB decays utilizing triangle diagrams. Our results show that the production yields of B+XssˉK+B^{+}\to X_{s\bar{s}} K^{+} and B+XqqˉK+B^{+}\to X_{q\bar{q}} K^{+} are of the order of 10410^{-4}, in agreement with the relevant experimental data, which indicates that, if the Ds+DsD_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} and DˉD\bar{D}D bound states indeed exist, they can be detected in BB decays. Moreover, we calculate the production rate of B+X(3960)K+B^{+}\to X(3960) K^{+} assuming that X(3960)X(3960) is a resonant state of Ds+DsD_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} and find that it is also of the order of 10410^{-4} but a bit smaller than that as a Ds+DsD_s^+D_s^- bound state.
