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…

It has been proposed that the recently discovered archetypical "exotic" meson, X(3872), with M(X(3872))=3871.68+-0.17 MeV/c^2, and an extremely narrow width, Gamma(X(3872))<1.2 MeV, is a hadronic molecule of bound D^0 and D^*0 mesons. If…

We investigate the $B^0\to \pi^- K^+ X(3872)$ decay via the $D_{s1}(2536)\bar{D} D^*$ rescattering diagram. The line shape of the $K^+X(3872)$ distribution curve around $D_{s1}(2536)\bar{D}$ threshold is very sensitive to the $X(3872)$ mass…

A precision measurement of the mass difference between the $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ mesons has been made using 316~pb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data taken at $\sqrt{s}=4170$~MeV using the CLEO-c detector. We obtain $\Delta M \equiv…

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,…

We present an analysis of the mass of the X(3872) reconstructed via its decay to J/psi pi+ pi- using 2.4 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity from ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab…

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 $D^{*+} D^{-}$…

The lineshapes of specific production experiments of the exotic state such as $X(3872)$ with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ quantum numbers involving triangle singularities have been found to become highly sensitive to the binding energy of weakly bound…

We propose a simple explanation for the increase of approximately 3 MeV/c^2 in the mass value of the X(3872) obtained from D^{*0} {D^0}bar decay relative to that obtained from decay to J/psi pi+ pi-. If the total width of the X(3872) is 2-3…

We investigate the enhancement in the D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0 final state with the mass M=3875.2\pm 0.7^{+0.3}_{-1.6}\pm 0.8 MeV found recently by the Belle Collaboration in the B\to K D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0 decay and test the possibility that this is…

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…

All existing experimental evidence of the bound state nature of the X(3872) relies on considering its decay products with a finite experimental spectral mass resolution which is typically $\Delta m \ge 2$ MeV and much larger than its…

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…

Contrary to almost standard opinion that the X(3872) resonance is the D^{*0}\bar D^0+c.c. molecule or the qc\bar q\bar c four-quark state, we discuss the scenario where the X(3872)resonance is the c\bar c = \chi_{c1}(2P) charmonium which…

With growing datasets collected by the CDF II experiment, studies of the spectroscopy of mesons containing heavy quarks become more exciting. The CDF experiment has good capabilities in both charm and bottom sector. This capability allowed…

We have done a study of the $B^- \to K^- \pi^0 X(3872)$ reaction by means of a triangle mechanism via the chain of reactions: $B^- \to K^- D^{*0}\bar D^{*0}$; $D^{*0} \to \pi^0 D^0$; $D^0\bar D^{*0}\to X(3872)$. We show that this mechanism…

We use QCD spectral sum rules to test the nature of the meson X(3872), assumed to be an exotic four-quark (c\bar{c}q\bar{q}) state with J^{PC}=1^{++}. For definiteness, we work with the current proposed recently by Maiani et al [1], at…

Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9$fb^{-1}$, collected with the~LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, a new narrow charmonium state, the $X(3842)$ resonance, is observed in the decay modes…

We present results on the X(3872), produced in $B^+ \to X(3872) K^+$ and $B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S$ decays where $X(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. We report the first statistically significant observation of $B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S$ and measure…

We perform a study of the $X(3872)$ lineshape using the data samples of $e^+e^-\to\gamma X(3872)$, $X(3872)\to D^0\bar{D}^0 \pi^0$ and $\pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$ collected with the BESIII detector. The effects of the coupled-channels and the…
