Abstract

If the X(3872)X(3872) is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced in e+ee^+ e^- annihilation by the creation of D0Dˉ0D^{*0} \bar D^{*0} from a virtual photon followed by the rescattering of the charm-meson pair into XX and a photon. A triangle singularity produces a narrow peak in the cross section for e+eXγe^+ e^- \to X \gamma about 2.2 MeV above the D0Dˉ0D^{*0} \bar{D}^{*0} threshold. We predict the normalized cross section in the region near the peak. The peak from the triangle singularity may be observable by the BESIII detector.
