Abstract

Properties of X(3872) are studied by regarding it as a DDDD^{\ast} hadronic molecule with JPC=2+J^{PC} = 2^{-+} in the phenomenological Lagrangian approach. We find that our model with about 97.6% isospin zero component explains the existing data nicely, for example, the ratio B(X(3872)J/ψπ+ππ0)/B(X(3872)J/ψπ+π)\mathcal{B}(X(3872) \to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0)/\mathcal{B}(X(3872) \to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-). We predict the partial widths of the radiative decays of X(3872)γJ/ψX(3872) \to \gamma J/\psi, γψ(2S)\gamma \psi(2S) and the strong decays of X(3872)J/ψπ+πX(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-, J/ψπ+ππ0J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 as well as X(3872)χcJπ0X(3872) \to \chi_{cJ}\pi^0. Our analysis shows that the measurement of the ratio B(X(3872)χc0π0)/B(X(3872)χc1π0)\mathcal{B}(X(3872) \to \chi_{c0}\pi^0)/\mathcal{B}(X(3872) \to \chi_{c1}\pi^0) may signal the nature of X(3872).
