The X(3872) and Y(4260), both discovered in $\pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$ mode, are rather unusual: $X_c\equiv X(3872)$ is very narrow, while $Y_c \equiv Y(4260)$ has large $Y_c\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$ width. Many models for their composition have been…
The data available in literature, concerning the binding energy of double hypernuclei and their production techniques are briefly reviewed. Then, a new technique for producing double hypernuclei with antiprotons in flight and measuring…
The total cross section for the near threshold eta production in proton-proton collisions has been investigated with the assumption that the production mechanism is due to the emission of a meson x (pi, eta, sigma) from one of the nucleons…
From a picture of the X(3872) where the resonance is a bound state of $\bar{D}D^*-c.c.$, we evaluate the decay width into the $J/\psi \gamma$ channel, which is sensitive to the internal structure of this state. For this purpose we evaluate…
Recently, LHCb reported the radiative-decay ratio ${\cal R}^{\psi\gamma}\equiv {\cal B}[X(3872)\to \psi'\gamma]/{\cal B}[X(3872)\to J/\psi\gamma]=1.67\pm 0.25$ extracted from $B^+\to K^+(J/\psi\gamma, \psi'\gamma)$. This result differs…
Enfant terrible of charmonium spectroscopy, the resonance $X(3872)$, generated a stream of interpretations and ushered in a new exotic $XYZ$ spectroscopy. In th meantime, many (if not all) characteristics of $X(3872)$ are rather ambiguous.…
We re-investigate the possibility of X(3872) as a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecule with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ within the framework of both the one-pion-exchange (OPE) model and the one-boson-exchange (OBE) model. After careful treatment of the S-D wave…
We report the results of a search for the decay $B^0 \to X(3872)(\to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-) \gamma$. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $711\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ and containing $772 \times 10^6…
In a recent paper we have proposed a method to estimate the prompt production cross section of X(3872) at the Tevatron assuming that this particle is a loosely bound molecule of a D and a D*bar meson. Under this hypothesis we find that it…
We study the J/Psi production from nuclei near the kinematic threshold within the collision model, based on the nuclear spectral function, for incoherent primary proton-nucleon charmonium creation processes. The model takes into account the…
The production of a $D\bar D$ meson-pair in antiproton-proton ($\bar p p$) annihilation close to the production threshold is investigated, with special emphasis on the role played by the $\psi$(3770) resonance. The study is performed in a…
Threshold measurements of the associated strangeness production reactions pp --> p K(+) Lambda and pp --> p K(+) Sigma(0) are presented. Although slight differences in the shapes of the excitation functions are observed, the most remarkable…
Very recently the BaBar collaboration has put forward a claim that the X(3872) is not a 1^++ resonance, as most of the phenomenological work on the subject was relying on, but rather a 2^-+ one. We examine the consequences of this quantum…
If the recently-discovered charmonium-like state X(3872) is a loosely-bound S-wave molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} or D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can be produced through the weak decay of the B meson into D^0 \bar D^{*0} K or D^{*0}…
The e+e- decay partial width of the recently observed state, X(3872), is estimated using the ISR data collected at the center of mass energy 4.03 GeV in e+e- annihilation experiment by BES at BEPC. It is found that the product of the e+e-…
The production of antiprotons in $pp$ collisions is investigated close to threshold where experimental data about the total cross section are not available. We analyze the latter reaction within the LUND string model for inclusive $\bar{p}$…
Right since its discovery in 2003 by the Belle collaboration, establishing the nature of the $X(3872)$ meson has been one of the main priorities in the field of quarkonium physics. Not qualifying as a conventional $c\bar{c}$ state, the…
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…
We report the first observation of $B^0 \to X(3872) (K^{+}\pi^{-})$ and evidence for $B^+ \to X(3872) (K^{0}\pi^{+})$. The product of branching fractions for the former decay mode is measured to be ${\cal B}(B^0 \to X(3872) (K^+ \pi^-))…
