We report the observation of the X(3872) in the J/psi pi+pi- channel, with J/psi decaying to mu+mu- in p-p(bar) collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using approximately 230 pb^-1 of data collected with the Run II D0 detector, we observe 522…
In this article, we test the nature of X(3872), which is assumed to be a P-wave $[cq]$-scalar-diquark $[\bar{c}\bar{q}]$-axial-vector-antidiquark tetraquark state with $J^{P}=2^{-}$. The interpolating current representing the $J^{P}=2^{-}$…
We analyze recent data from the Babar and Belle Collaborations on the X(3872) resonance in the J/psi pi+ pi- and D0 D0-bar pi0 decay channels, taking careful account of the universal features of an S-wave threshold resonance. Because the…
Recently, the BESIII collaboration performed a precise measurement of the $e^+e^-\to \eta J/\psi$ cross section. It is puzzling that the resonance parameters of the reported $Y(4230)$ show a substantial divergence from the previously…
Using 24 million $\psi' \equiv \psi(2S)$ decays in CLEO-c, we have searched for higher multipole admixtures in electric-dipole-dominated radiative transitions in charmonia. We find good agreement between our data and theoretical predictions…
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 X(3872) has non-charmonium-like properties, such as decay processes that seem to violate isospin, and a mass that lies unexpectedly close to the neutral-D-plus-neutral-D-excited-state threshold. An EFT that includes both charmonium-like…
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 full amplitude analysis of the process $e^+ e^- \rightarrow J/\psi D \bar{D}$, where $D$ refers to either $D^0$ or $D^+$. A new charmoniumlike state $X^*(3860)$ that decays to $D \bar{D}$ is observed with a significance of…
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 investigate the ${\cal O}(\alpha_s)$ correction to $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_{c2}$ in the NRQCD factorization approach. A detailed comparative study between $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\eta_{c2}$ and $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+\chi^\prime_{c1}$ at $B$ factory…
We explore the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties, and profile the 1:3D2, 1:3D3 and 2:1P1 charmonium candidates for X(3872). The favored candidates, the 1:3D2 and 1:3D3 levels, both have prominent radiative decays.…
In the framework of instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation, according to the $J ^ {PC}$ of quarkonia, we find that their wave functions all contain multiple partial waves, rather than pure waves. In the radiative electromagnetic transitions…
A thorough study of the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ elastic $D^{0}\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ and $D^{+}D^{\ast-}$ scattering, where the form of the meson-meson interaction is inferred from lattice QCD calculations of string breaking, is carried out for…
A study of $B^+ \rightarrow J/\psi \eta K^+$ decays, followed by $J/\psi \rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $\eta \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$, is performed using a dataset collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at…
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…
By describing the $X(3872)$ using the extended Friedrichs scheme, in which $D\bar D^*$ is the dominant component, we calculate the decay rates of the $X(3872)$ to $\pi^0$ and a $P$-wave charmonium $\chi_{cJ}$ state with $J=0,1$, or $2$, and…
An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ resonances, which had initially been assigned to the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ $c\bar c$ states, respectively. To…
The $E2/M1$ multipole mixing ratio ($\delta$), reported by J. Gizon et al. Phys. Rev. C 17, 596 (1978), for 365 keV $\gamma$-transition in $^{129}$Ba is reevaluated and found altered. Experimentally determined angular distribution…
We perform a unified description of the experimental data of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ invariant mass spectra of $B_s^0 \to \psi(2S) \pi^+\pi^-$, the $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $K^+ K^-$ invariant mass spectra of $B_s^0 \to X(3872) \pi^+\pi^- (K^+ K^-)$, and…
