To study the internal structure of the exotic hadron $X(3872)$, considering the coupled-channel potential between quarks and hadrons is necessary because $X(3872)$ is regarded as a mixture state of $c\bar{c}$ and $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$. In this…
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…
The quantum numbers J^PC = 1++ of the X(3872) and the proximity of its mass to the D*0 anti-D0 threshold imply that it is either a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are a superposition of D*0 anti-D0 and D0 anti-D*0 or it…
The last decade of hadron spectroscopy has unveiled a wealth of states that do not have the properties expected of particles composed of two or three valence quarks. Among the most intriguing of these exotics is the $\chi_{c1}(3872)$, which…
We investigate the radiative decays of the $X(3872)$ to $\gamma V~(V=\rho^0,\, \omega)$ in the molecule scenario, where the $X(3872)$ is regarded as a pure hadronic molecule of the $D\bar{D}^*+c.c$ in an $S$-wave with the quantum numbers…
We investigate the mass spectrum of $ 1^{++} $ exotic mesons with quark content $ (\c\q\cbar\qbar) $, using molecular and diquark-antidiquark operators, in quenched lattice QCD with exact chiral symmetry. For the molecular operator $…
Starting from the hypothesis that the X(3872) is a $D\bar D^*$ molecule, we discuss the radiative decays of the X(3872) into $\gamma J/\psi$ and $\gamma\psi'$ from an effective field theory point of view. We show that radiative decays are…
In this letter, we propose interpolating currents for the X(3872) resonance, and show that, in the Heavy Quark limit of QCD, the X(3872) state should have degenerate partners, independent of its internal structure. Magnitudes of possible…
The search for multi-quark states beyond the constituent quark model (CQM) has resulted in the discovery of many new exotic states, starting with the observation of the X(3872), discovered by Belle in 2003. Also in the sector of…
The internal structure of the exotic meson X(3872) remains an open question. We investigate its production in heavy-ion collisions under the hypothesis that it is a compact tetraquark. To this end, we derive a coalescence model from the…
We examine a hot pion gas by including medium modifications of the two-body scattering amplitude as well as mean-field effects selfconsistently. In contrast to earlier calculations, the in-medium T-matrix is rather close to the free one…
We report on our recent work about the description of a meson gas below the chiral phase transition within the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. As an alternative to the standard treatment, we present a calculation of the quark…
We investigate the in-medium properties of strange vector mesons ($K^*$ and $\bar K^*$) in dense and hot nuclear matter based on chirally motivated models of the meson selfenergies. We parameterise medium effects as density or temperature…
We present a dynamical approach for description of the multi-quark states that is based on an effective interaction Lagrangian describing the coupling of hadrons to their constituent quarks. First, we explore the consequences of treating…

We study the property of the $X(3872)$ meson by analyzing the $B\to K D\bar D^*$ and $B\to K J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ decay processes. The competition between the rescattering mediated through a Breit-Wigner resonance and the rescattering…
If the recently-discovered charmonium-like state X(3872) is a loosely-bound S-wave molecule of the charm mesons D^0 \bar D^{*0} or D^{*0} \bar D^0, it can be produced through the weak decay of the B meson into D^0 \bar D^{*0} K or D^{*0}…
The bound state problem of $D^0\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ ($\bar{D}^0{D}^{\ast0}$) is relevant to the molecular interpretation of the X(3872). We investigated this problem in a chiral quark model by solving the resonating group method equation. We…
We examine possible J^PC quantum number assignments for the X(3872). Angular correlations between final state particles in X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays are used to rule out J^PC values of 0++ and 0-+. The shape of the pi+pi- mass…
