The properties of the $X(3872)$ and its spin partner, the $X(4014)$, are studied both in vacuum and at finite temperature. Using an effective hadron theory based on the hidden-gauge Lagrangian, the $X(3872)$ is dynamically generated from…
The near-threshold exotic hadrons such as $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$ are naively considered as the hadronic molecular state from the viewpoint of the low-energy universality. However, it is also known that the elementary dominant state is not…
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…
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).…
The nature of the $X(3872)$ and other exotic hadrons has been a subject of extensive investigation. While various theoretical models have been proposed, experimental evidence suggests that the $X(3872)$ may be a mixture state of a hadronic…
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 $X(3872)$, whose mass coincides with the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold, is the most extended hadron object. Since its discovery in 2003, debates have never stopped regarding its internal structure. We propose a new object, the $X$ atom,…
An analysis including most recent Belle data on X(3872) is performed, using coupled channel Flatt\'e formula. A third sheet pole close to but \textit{below} $D^0D^{*0}$ threshold is found, besides the bound state/virtual state pole…
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…
We analyze the recent data from the BESIII collaboration on the $X(3872)$ state in the $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0$ decay channels. The quantum number and mass of the $X(3872)$ state allow us to exploit the universal feature…
The production of the X(3872) as a hadronic molecule in hadron colliders is clarified. We show that the conclusion of Bignamini et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 103 (2009) 162001, that the production of the X(3872) at high $p_T$ implies a…
We illustrate how to apply modern effective field theory techniques and dimensional regularization to factorise the various scales which appear in QED bound states at finite temperature. We focus here on the muonic hydrogen atom. Vacuum…
Heavy-quark symmetry as applied to heavy hadron systems implies that their interactions are independent of their heavy-quark spin (heavy-quark spin symmetry) and heavy flavour contents (heavy flavour symmetry). In the molecular hypothesis…
QCD sum-rules are employed to determine whether the X(3872) can be described as a mixed state that couples to $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ charmonium hybrid and $\bar D D^*$ molecular currents. After calculating the mixed correlator of hybrid and…
It has been proposed recently (Phys. Rev. Lett. 115 (2015), 022001) that the charmoniumlike state named X(3915) and suggested to be a $0^{++}$ scalar, is just the helicity-0 realisation of the $2^{++}$ tensor state $\chi_{c2}(3930)$. This…
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 perform a systematical study of possible molecular states composed of the $S$ wave heavy light mesons, where the $S-D$ mixing and {$\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing} are explicitly included. Our calculation indicates that the observed…
If the X(3872) resonance is a shallow boundstate of a the charm mesons $D^{0} \bar D^{*0}$ and $D^{*0} \bar D^{0}$, it can be described by an effective theory of nonrelativistic D mesons coupled to nonrelativistic pions (X-EFT). In this…

We consider the $X(3872)$ resonance as a $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ $D\bar D^*$ hadronic molecule. According to heavy quark spin symmetry, there will exist a partner with quantum numbers $2^{++}$, $X_{2}$, which would be a $D^*\bar D^*$ loosely bound…
