We have performed a coupled channel calculation of the $1^{++}$ $c\bar c$ sector including $q\bar q$ and $DD^*$ molecular configurations. The calculation was done within a constituent quark model which successfully describes the meson…
A solvable coordinate-space model is employed to study the $c\bar{c}$ component of the X(3872) wave function, by coupling a confined $^3P_1$ $c\bar{c}$ state to the almost unbound $S$-wave $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ channel via the $^3P_0$…
We explore molecular states of two open heavy-quark mesons (Q qbar)-(qbar Q) in a quark-based model in terms of a four-body non-relativistic Hamiltonian with pairwise effective interactions. Molecular states are found in the combinations of…
Currently, the structure of the $X(3872)$ meson is unknown. Different competing models of the $c\bar c$ exotic state $X(3872)$ exist, including the possibilities that this state is either a mesonic molecule with dominating $D^0 \bar D^{*0}…
The bound state problem of $D^0\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ ($\bar{D}^0{D}^{\ast0}$) is relevant to the molecular interpretation of the X(3872). We investigated this problem in a chiral quark model by solving the resonating group method equation. We…
The recently observed X(3872) resonance, which is difficult to be assigned a conventional $c\bar{c}$ charmonium state in the quark model, may be interpreted as a molecular state. Such a molecular state is a hidden flavor four quark state…
The chromomagnetic interaction, with proper account for flavour-symmetry breaking, is shown to explain the mass and coupling properties of the X(3872) resonance as a $J^{PC}$ = 1$^{++}$ state consisting of a heavy quark-antiquark pair and a…
Properties of the charmonium-like state X(3872) are investigated and its nature is discussed as based on the existing experimental data. In particular, we analyse the new data from Belle and BaBar Collaborations and argue that, while the…
We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a hadronic DD* bound state in the framework of a potential model. The potential is generated by the exchange of pseudoscalar, scalar and vector mesons resulting from the Lagrangian of heavy…
We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. We show that the $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state with quantum numbers…
In this work, we propose a new method to detect the composition of the $X(3872)$ state. Based on a widely accepted interpretation that $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound $S$-wave molecule of the $D^{*0} \bar{D}^{0}$ (neutral) and $D^{*+} D^{-}$…
Because of the controversial X(3872) meson's very close proximity to the $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ threshold, this charmonium-like resonance is often considered a meson-meson molecule. However, a molecular wave function must be essentially of a…
Inspired by that Belle\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2} Collaboration recently reported $T_{cc}$, which can be interpreted as a molecular $DD^{*}$, we investigated the trihadron system of $T_{cc}$ partner with $IJ^{P}$=$01^{-}$ in the…
We present a quark model calculation of the charmonium spectrum with self energy corrections due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The bare masses used in the calculation are computed within the relativized quark model by…
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…
We have investigated the internal structure of the open- and hidden-charmed ($DD^*$/$\bar DD^*$) molecules in the unified framework. We first fit the experimental lineshape of the $T^+_{cc}$ state and extract the $DD^*$ interaction, from…
We perform a systematic study of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons such as $D\bar D$, $D^\ast\bar D$, $D^\ast \bar D^\ast$ in the framework of the meson exchange model. The exchanged mesons include the…
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…
Some charmonium-like resonances such as X(3872) can be interpreted as possible $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ molecular states. Within the quark model, we study the structure of such molecular states and the similar $B^{(*)}B^{(*)}$ molecular states by…
In order to understand the structure of the X(3872), the $c \bar c$ charmonium core state coupling to the $D^0 \bar D^{\ast 0}$ and $D^+ D^{\ast -}$ molecular states are studied. The strengths of the couplings between the charmonium state…
