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).…
If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced by the creation of $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ or $D^{0} \bar{D}^{*0}$ at short distances followed by the formation of the bound state from the charm-meson pairs. It can…
We consider pion interactions in an effective field theory of the narrow resonance X(3872), assuming it is a weakly bound molecule of the charm mesons D^{0} \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^{0}. Since the hyperfine splitting of the D^{0} and…
XEFT is a low-energy effective field theory for charm mesons and pions that provides a systematically improvable description of the X(3872) resonance. A Galilean-invariant formulation of XEFT is introduced to exploit the fact that mass is…
The identification of the X(3872) as a loosely-bound charm-meson molecule allows it to be described by an effective field theory, called XEFT, for the D^* Dbar, D Dbar^* and D Dbar pi sector of QCD at energies small compared to the pion…
The calculation of the decay $X(3872)\to D^0 \bar{D}^0 \pi^0$ in effective field theory is revisited to include final state $\pi^0 D^0$, $\pi^0 \bar{D}^0$and $D^0\bar{D}^0$ rescattering diagrams. These introduce significant uncertainty into…
Latest measurements suggest that the X(3872) mass lies less than 200 keV away from the D0-Dbar0* threshold, reenforcing its interpretation as a loosely-bound mesonic molecule. This observation implies that in processes like D0-Dbar0-pi0…
We study the X(3872)-->D^0 \bar D^0 \pi^0 decay within a D \bar D^* molecular picture for the X(3872) state. This decay mode is more sensitive to the long-distance structure of the X(3872) resonance than its J/\psi\pi\pi and J/\psi3\pi…
XEFT is a low energy effective theory for the X(3872) that can be used to systematically analyze the decay and production of the X(3872) meson, assuming that it is a weakly bound state of charmed mesons. In a previous paper, we calculated…
Heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHchiPT) and XEFT are applied to the decays X(3872) -> psi(2S) + gamma and psi(4040) -> X(3872) + gamma under the assumption that the X(3872) is a molecular bound state of neutral charm mesons. In…
The X(3872) resonance is considered as a hadronic molecule, a loosely-bound state of charmed D0 and D*0 mesons, since its mass is very close to the D*0 barD0 threshold. Assuming structure and quantum numbers of X(3872) as (D0 barD*0 - D*0…
We construct spectra of decays of the resonance X(3872) with good analytical and unitary properties which allows to define the branching ratio of the X(3872) \to D^{*0}\bar D^0 + c.c. decay studying only one more decay, for example, the…
The dipionic transition of the $X(3872)$ to the $\eta_c$ was investigated using an effective Lagrangian approach. In this study, the $X(3872)$ was assumed to be a $D\bar{D}^\ast + \text{c.c.}$ bound state with the quantum numbers…
XEFT is a low-energy effective field theory for charm mesons and pions that provides a systematically improvable description of the $X(3872)$ resonance. To simplify calculations beyond leading order, we introduce a new formulation of XEFT…
If the quantum numbers of the X(3872) are J^{PC}=1^{++}, the measurement of its mass implies that it is either a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are a superposition of the charm mesons pairs D^{*0} Dbar^0 and D^0…
We construct line shapes for the X(3872) that generalize the Flatte and zero-range line shapes that have been considered previously. These line shapes are associated with scattering amplitudes that are exactly unitary for real values of the…
The charmless decay processes of $X(3872)$ provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $X(3872)$. Based on a molecular nature of $X(3872)$ as a $\bar{D}D^*$ bound state, we have investigated the charmless…
It is pointed out that in the decays $X(3872) \to D {\bar D} \gamma$ the possible `molecular' component of the X(3872) should give rise essentially only to a $D^0 {\bar D}^0 \gamma$ final state with a predictable spectrum, and should yield…
The production and decay of the X(3872) are analyzed under the assumption that the X is a weakly-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^0. The decays imply that the large D^0 \bar D^{*0} scattering length has…
