We present a study of $B\to X(3872)K$ with X(3872) decaying to $D^{*0}\bar D^0$ using a sample of 657 million $B\bar B$ pairs recorded at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.…

Using the QCD spectral sum rule approach we investigate different currents with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, which could be associated with the $X(3872)$ meson. Our results indicate that, with a four-quark or molecular structure, it is very difficult…

We show that the literature on pion exchange between charm and bottom mesons is inconsistent. We derive the formalism explicitly, expose differences between papers in the literature and clarify the implications. We show that the X(3872) can…

The well-known model of the triangle diagrams with $D^*\bar DD^*$ and $\bar D^*D\bar D^*$ mesons in the loops is compared with the modern data on the amplitude of the $X(3872)\to\pi^0\chi_{c1}(1P)$ decay. Considering the $X(3872)$ object as…

The claim that the $X(3872)$ meson cannot be a charm-meson molecule because its prompt production cross section at hadron colliders is too large is based on an upper bound in terms of a cross section for producing charm-meson pairs.…

A four-body amplitude analysis of the $B^- \to D^{*+} \pi^- \pi^-$ decay is performed, where fractions and relative phases of the various resonances contributing to the decay are measured. Several quasi-model-independent analyses are…

We explore the quark-mass dependence of the pole position of the X(3872) state within the molecular picture. The calculations are performed within the framework of a nonrelativistic Faddeev-type three-body equation for the $D\bar{D}\pi$…

We report the observation of the X(3872) in the J/psi pi+pi- channel, with J/psi decaying to mu+mu- in p-p(bar) collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using approximately 230 pb^-1 of data collected with the Run II D0 detector, we observe 522…

We explore the possible existence of the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ counterpart of the $X(3872)$ state in a coupled-channels calculation within a constituent quark model, with the aim of confirming the existence of the so-called $\tilde{X}(3872)$…

The existence of the $X(3872)$ resonance extremely close to the $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ threshold implies that neutral charm mesons have an approximate nonrelativistic conformal symmetry. Systems consisting of these mesons with small kinetic…

We report evidence for the decay modes X(3872) --> gamma J/psi and X(3872)--> pi+pi-pi0 J/psip. In the latter, the pi+pi-pi0 invariant mass distribution has a strong peak between 750 MeV and the kinematic limit of 775 MeV, suggesting that…

All existing experimental evidence of the bound state nature of the X(3872) relies on considering its decay products with a finite experimental spectral mass resolution which is typically $\Delta m \ge 2$ MeV and much larger than its…

We study the decay properties of a $D(2900)$ state, with spin-parity $0^-$, whose existence was proposed in an earlier study of the $D K\bar K$ and coupled channel system. It was found in the former work that a $D$-meson appears with a mass…

We revisit the consequences of the heavy-quark spin symmetry for the possible spin partners of the $X(3872)$. We confirm that, if the $X(3872)$ were a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular state with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, then in the strict…

The internal structure of the near-threshold exotic hadrons, $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$, are studied by respecting the decay and coupled-channel contributions. The effective field theory model is introduced to calculate the compositeness, the…

The processes $X(3872)\to D^{*0}\bar{D^{0}}+c.c.,~\gamma J/\psi,~\gamma \psi(2S),$ and $\gamma D^{+}D^{-}$ are searched for in a $9.0~\rm fb^{-1}$ data sample collected at center-of-mass energies between $4.178$ and $4.278$ GeV with the…

The quantum numbers of the X(3872) meson are determined to be JPC = 1++ based on angular correlations in B+ to X(3872) K+ decays, where X(3872) to pi+pi- J/psi and J/psi to \mu+\mu-. The data correspond to 1.0 fb-1 of pp collisions…

The decays of the X(3872) to P-wave quarkonia are calculated under the assumption that it is a shallow bound state of neutral charmed mesons. The X(3872) is described using an effective theory of nonrelativistic D mesons and pions (X-EFT).…

We use QCD sum rules to calculate the width of the radiative decay of the meson X(3872), assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular $[c\bar{q}][q\bar{c}]$ states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$. We find that in a small range for…

We report recent results on the properties of the X(3872) produced via the B+ --> K+ X(3872) decay process. We observe X -->pi+pi-pi0 J/psi decays where the 3pi invariant masses cluster near the upper kinematic boundary suggesting that they…
