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…
The 1D2 charmonium assignment for the X(3872) meson is considered, as prompted by a recent result from the BABAR Collaboration, favouring 2-+ quantum numbers for the X. It is shown that established properties of the X(3872) are in a drastic…
We examine possible J^PC quantum number assignments for the X(3872). Angular correlations between final state particles in X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays are used to rule out J^PC values of 0++ and 0-+. The shape of the pi+pi- mass…
Since the discovery of X(3872), its structure has been in ceaseless dispute. The data of $X(3872)\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 J/\psi$ suggest that X(3872) may be a high-spin charmonium-like of $2^{-+}$. In terms of the light front quark…
The recently BaBar results raise the possibility that X(3872) has negative parity. This makes people reconsider assigning X(3872) to the $1{^1D_2}(c\bar c)$ state. In this paper we give a general form of the wave function of $2^{-+}$…
The X(3872) radiative decay is discussed by employing a two-meson multichannel model with the charmonium components, which explains many of the other observed features of X(3872). We have found that the ratio of the branching fractions of…
Analyses of the J/{\psi} {\pi}+ {\pi}- decay channel of the X(3872) resonance by the CDF, Belle, and LHCb collaborations have established its J^{PC} quantum numbers as 1^{++}. An analysis of the \pi+ \pi- \pi 0 invariant mass distribution…
Radiative decays of X(3872) with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ are studied in the coupled-channel approach, where the $c\bar c$ states are described by relativistic string Hamiltonian, while for the decay channels $DD^*$ a string breaking mechanism is…
Assuming that $X(3872)$ is a mixture between $2P$ charmonium and $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, an analysis of $X(3872)$ radiative decays into $J/\psi \gamma$ and $\psi(2S)\gamma$ is presented. The modification of the…
In this paper we consider all possible 1D and 2P ccbar assignments for the recently discovered X(3872). Taking the experimental mass as input, we give numerical results for the E1 radiative widths as well as the three principal types of…
We study the radiative decay of $X(3872)$ based on the assumption that $X(3872)$ is regarded as a $c\overline{c}$ charmonium with quantum number $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ ($J,\,P,\,C$ represent the spin, parity and charge conjugation, respectively).…
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…
We study the electromagnetic (EM) transitions of the $nS$, $nP$ ($n\leq 3$), and $nD$ ($n\leq 2$) charmonium states with a constituent quark model. We obtain a reasonable description of the EM transitions of the well-established charmonium…
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 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 BABAR Collaboration performed a search for xi(2220) production in the initial-state radiation process e^+e^- --> gamma J/psi, J/psi --> gamma K^+K^- or J/psi --> gamma K^0_SK^0_S. No evidence for the xi(2220) resonance has been found.…
We present an analysis of angular distributions and correlations of the X(3872) particle in the exclusive decay mode X(3872)->J/psi pi+ pi- with J/psi->mu+ mu-. We use 780 pb -1 of data from ppbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV collected…
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 X(3872) with quantum numbers J(PC) = 1(++) is considered as a composite state containing both molecular hadronic and a c bar(c) component. Based on this structure assumption we first constrain model parameters in order to reproduce the…
The BaBar analysis which favours $2^{-+}$ quantum numbers for the X(3872) implies that it may be none other than the 1D2 charmonia state. In that case the isospin breaking in closed flavour modes may be the result of re-scattering from open…
