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 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 analyze how the renowned X(3872), a weakly bound state right below the $D \bar D^*$ threshold, should effectively be included in a hadronic representation of the QCD partition function. This can be decided by analyzing the $D \bar D^*$…
The question on whether or not weakly bound states should be effectively incorporated in a hadronic representation of the QCD partition function is addressed by analyzing the example of the $X(3872)$, a resonance close to the $D\bar D^*$…
We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. We show that the $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state with quantum numbers…
After taking into account both the pion and sigma meson exchange potential, we have performed a dynamical calculation of the $D^0\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ system. The $\sigma$ meson exchange potential is repulsive from heavy quark symmetry and…
The $X(3872)$ could be a shallow $D\bar D^*$ bound state, a compact four-quark state, or a partially composite particle, i.e. a superposition of the two. We will review how these hypotheses could be tested experimentally, examining…
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…
We perform a systematic study of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons such as $D\bar D$, $D^\ast\bar D$, $D^\ast \bar D^\ast$ in the framework of the meson exchange model. The exchanged mesons include the…
We discuss the possibility and the description of bound states between $B$ and $\bar{B}^*$ mesons. We argue that the existence of such a bound state can be deduced from (i) the weakly bound X(3872) state, (ii) certain assumptions about the…
The recently discovered $X$(3872) has many possible interpretations. We study the production of $X$(3872) with PANDA at GSI for the antiproton-proton collision with two possible interpretations of X(3872). One is as a loosely-bound molecule…
Recently, we have shown that the $X(3872)$ state can be naturally generated as a bound state by incorporating the hadron interactions into the Godfrey-Isgur quark model using the Friedrichs-like model combined with the QPC model, in which…
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…
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 suggest that the observed properties of the charmoniumlike resonance $X(3915)$ can possibly be explained if it is an $S-$wave molecular bound state of $D_s \bar D_s$ meson pair with binding energy about 18\,MeV. In particular, the decays…
Currently, the structure of the $X(3872)$ meson is unknown. Different competing models of the $c\bar c$ exotic state $X(3872)$ exist, including the possibilities that this state is either a mesonic molecule with dominating $D^0 \bar D^{*0}…
We explore the possible existence of the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ counterpart of the $X(3872)$ state in a coupled-channels calculation within a constituent quark model, with the aim of confirming the existence of the so-called $\tilde{X}(3872)$…
In this work, we revisit the isospin violating decays of $X(3872)$ in a coupled-channel effective field theory. In the molecular scheme, the $X(3872)$ is interpreted as the bound state of $\bar{D}^{*0}D^0/\bar{D}^0D^{*0}$ and…
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…
A solvable coordinate-space model is employed to study the $c\bar{c}$ component of the X(3872) wave function, by coupling a confined $^3P_1$ $c\bar{c}$ state to the almost unbound $S$-wave $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ channel via the $^3P_0$…
