In this work the production of the state $X(3872)$ is estimated via the reaction $B^0 \to K^{\ast 0} X(3872)$ through triangle mechanisms described by the sequence $B^0 \to D_s^{(*)+} (\to K^{\ast 0} D^{(*)+} ) \ D^{(*)-} \to K^{\ast 0} \ (…

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…

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…
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…
The calculation of the decay $X(3872)\to D^0 \bar{D}^0 \pi^0$ in effective field theory is revisited to include final state $\pi^0 D^0$, $\pi^0 \bar{D}^0$and $D^0\bar{D}^0$ rescattering diagrams. These introduce significant uncertainty into…
We study $D\bar{D}^*$ ($D^*\bar{D}$) scattering in the framework of unitarized heavy meson chiral perturbation theory with pion exchange and a contact interaction. $^3S_1-$$^3D_1$ mixing effects are taken into account. A loosely bound state…
Using 34.7 pb-1 of data collected with the LHCb detector, the inclusive production of the X(3872) meson in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is observed for the first time. Candidates are selected in the X(3872) -> J/psi pi+ pi- decay mode,…

We report evidence for the decay modes X(3872) --> gamma J/psi and X(3872)--> pi+pi-pi0 J/psip. In the latter, the pi+pi-pi0 invariant mass distribution has a strong peak between 750 MeV and the kinematic limit of 775 MeV, suggesting that…
