Changes in properties of heavy hadrons with a charm or a bottom quark are studied in nuclear matter. Effective masses (scalar potentials) for the hadrons are calculated using quark-meson coupling model. Our results also suggest that the…
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 analyze how the renowned X(3872), a weakly bound state right below the $D \bar D^*$ threshold, should effectively be included in a hadronic representation of the QCD partition function. This can be decided by analyzing the $D \bar D^*$…
The pole counting rule is a powerful and model-independent method to distinguish a confining state from a hadronic molecule. It has been applied to the explorations of $X(6900)$, $X_1(2900)$ as well as $Z_c(3900)$, $X(3872)$, $X(4660)$,…
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 exploration of energies above the open-flavor threshold in the meson spectra has led to the appearance of unexpected states difficult to accommodate in the naive picture of a bound state of a quark and an antiquark. Many of such states…
We perform a systematic study of the possible loosely bound states composed of two charmed baryons or a charmed baryon and an anti-charmed baryon within the framework of the one boson exchange (OBE) model. We consider not only the $\pi$…
Contrary to almost standard opinion that the X(3872) resonance is the D^{*0}\bar D^0+c.c. molecule or the qc\bar q\bar c four-quark state, we discuss the scenario where the X(3872)resonance is the c\bar c = \chi_{c1}(2P) charmonium which…
Meson states with exotic quantum numbers arise naturally in a covariant bound-state framework in QCD. We investigate the consequences of shifting quark masses such that the states are no longer restricted to certain C-parities, but only by…
It is proposed that X(3872) is a vector glueball mixed with neighboring vector states of charmonium.
In a molecular scenario, we investigate the isospin-breaking hidden charm decay processes of $X(3872)$, i.e., $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- J/\psi$, $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 J/\psi$, and $X(3872)\to \pi^0\chi_{cJ}$. We assume that the…
We perform a systematical study of possible molecular states composed of the $S$ wave heavy light mesons, where the $S-D$ mixing and {$\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing} are explicitly included. Our calculation indicates that the observed…
We perform a systematic study of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons such as $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ in the framework of the one-boson-exchange model. The exchanged bosons include the…
It has been suggested that the radiative $X \to D \bar D \gamma$ decay modes are useful to shed light on the structure of the meson X(3872), since the ratio $ R={\Gamma(X \to D^+ D^- \gamma) \over \Gamma(X \to D^0 \bar D^0 \gamma)}$ is…
The precise measurement of binding energy, total width and DDpi branching fraction, constrains, in a model independent way, the loosely bound hadron molecule interpretation of X(3872). A full discernment is not yet possible on the basis of…
Possible $\Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ hadronic molecule is investigated in the one-pion-exchange potential model. In the study with this model, the heavier meson exchange effects are encoded into a phenomenological cutoff parameter and couplings to…
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…
We discuss a possible interpretation of the open charm mesons $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$ and the hidden charm mesons X(3872), Y(3940) and Y(4140) as hadron molecules. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we review the strong…
The recently discovered $X$(3872) has many possible interpretations. We study the production of $X$(3872) with PANDA at GSI for the antiproton-proton collision with two possible interpretations of X(3872). One is as a loosely-bound molecule…
Through the scattering of light-pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi,K,\eta,\eta'$) off charmed mesons ($D, D_s$), we study the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ state and other relevant charm scalar mesons in a unitarized chiral effective field theory approach. We…
