Abstract

The LHCb data on B+J/ψϕK+B^+\to J/\psi\phi K^+ show four peaks and three dips in the J/ψϕJ/\psi\phi invariant mass distribution, and the peaks are interpreted as X(4140)X(4140), X(4274)X(4274), X(4500)X(4500) and X(4685)/X(4700)X(4685)/X(4700) resonance contributions. Interestingly, all the peaks and dips are located at (or close to) DsDˉs()D^*_{s}\bar{D}^{(*)}_{s}, Ds0(2317)Dˉs()D_{s0}^*(2317)\bar{D}^{(*)}_{s}, Ds1(2536)Dˉs()D_{s1}(2536)\bar{D}^{(*)}_{s}, and ψϕ\psi'\phi thresholds. These coincidences suggest a close connection between the structures and the thresholds, which however has not been seriously considered in previous theoretical studies on the XX structures. In fact, if we utilize this connection and interpret the XX structures as common ss-wave threshold cusps, we face a difficulty: X(4274)X(4274) and X(4500)X(4500) have spin-parity that conflict with the experimentally determined ones. In this work, we introduce double triangle mechanisms that cause threshold cusps significantly sharper than the ordinary one-loop ones of the same spin-parity. We demonstrate that all the XX and dip structures are well described by a combination of one-loop and double-triangle threshold cusps, thereby proposing a novel interpretation of the XX and dip structures.
