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…
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…
The X(3872) seems to be a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are two charm mesons. A novel feature of this molecule is that the mass difference of the constituents is close to the mass of a lighter meson that can be…
It was recently proposed that the $X(3872)$ binding energy, the difference between the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold and the $X(3872)$ mass, can be precisely determined by measuring the $\gamma X(3872)$ line shape from a short-distance…
We have studied some possible four-quark and molecule contents of the X(3872) using double ratios of sum rules, which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios often used in the literature for getting the hadron masses. We found that…
We introduce a near-threshold parameterization that is more general than the effective-range expansion up to and including the effective-range because it can also handle with a near-threshold zero in the $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ $S$-wave. In terms…
We discuss the possible interpretation of X(3872) as a $DD^{\ast}$ hadronic molecule with $J^{PC} = 2^{-+}$. Using the phenomenological Lagrangian approach, we studied its radiative and strong decay properties. We find that our model with…
The unusual properties of the X(3872) have led to speculation that it is a weakly bound state of mesons, chiefly $D^0\bar D^{0*}$. Tests of this hypothesis are investigated and it is proposed that measuring the $3\pi J/\psi$, $\gamma…
Using chiral effective field theory, we predict that there must be isovector charmonium-like $D\bar D^*$ hadronic molecules with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ denoted as $W_{c1}$. The inputs are the properties of the $X(3872)$, including its mass and the…
If the recently-discovered charmonium state X(3872) is a loosely-bound S-wave molecule of the charm mesons \bar D^0 D^{*0} or \bar D^{*0} D^0, it can be produced in B meson decay by the coalescence of charm mesons. If this coalescence…
We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy meson hadronic molecules, and explore the consequences of assuming the X(3872) and $Z_b(10610)$ as an isoscalar $D\bar D^*$ and an isovector $B\bar B^*$ hadronic molecules, respectively. The…
It is pointed out that the internal structure of the narrow resonance X(3872) at the D^0 {\bar D}^{*0} threshold can be studied in some detail by measuring the rate and the spectra in the decays X(3872) \to D^0 {\bar D}^0 \pi^0 and X(3872)…
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 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…
If the X(3872) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} and D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can decay through the decay of a constituent in a hadronic channel with a nearby threshold, such as J/\psi \omega or J/\psi \rho. The…
The $X$(3872) formation and decay processes in the $B$-decay are investigated by a $c\bar c$-two-meson hybrid model. The two-meson state consists of the $D^0{\bar D}^*{}^0$, $D^+D^{*-}$, $J/\psi\rho$, and $J/\psi\omega$ channels. The…
We present recent studies of charmonium multiquark states. We use different interacting models and numerical methods to study deeply bound four-quark states and meson-meson molecules. No deeply bound four-quark states are found in our…
The internal structure of the near-threshold exotic hadrons, $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$, are studied by respecting the decay and coupled-channel contributions. The effective field theory model is introduced to calculate the compositeness, the…
We show that the literature on pion exchange between charm and bottom mesons is inconsistent. We derive the formalism explicitly, expose differences between papers in the literature and clarify the implications. We show that the X(3872) can…
We use QCD sum rules to test the nature of the meson X(3872), assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular [c\bar{q}][q\bar{c}] states with J^{PC}=1^{++}. We find that there is only a small range for the values of the…
