We evaluate the energy levels of the deuteronium bound system, which consists of a deuteron and an antideuteron, with a special emphasis on states with nonvanishing orbital angular momenta. The excited atomic bound states of deuteronium…
In this work, we take the $X(3872)$ as the hidden-charm tetraquark state with both isospin $I=0$ and $1$ components, then investigate the strong decays $X(3872)\to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$, $J/\psi\omega$, $\chi_{c1}\pi^0$, $D^{*0}\bar{D}^0$ and…
The X(3872) is studied as an axial-vector charmonium state in the multichannel framework of the Resonance-Spectrum-Expansion quark-meson model, previously applied to a variety of other puzzling mesonic resonances. Included are the…
We performed an experimental search for the bound state singlet deuteron predicted in some microscopic calculations. The predicted energy of this metastable level is in vicinity of the deuteron disintegration threshold. This state should…
If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced by the creation of $D^{*0} \bar{D}^0$ or $D^{0} \bar{D}^{*0}$ at short distances followed by the formation of the bound state from the charm-meson pairs. It can…
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…
The production of the $X(3872)$ particle in heavy-ion collisions has been contemplated as an alternative probe of its internal structure. To investigate this conjecture, we perform transport calculations of the $X(3872)$ through the…
Properties of Regge trajectories for charmonium are studied. Possible interpretations and their implications to newly observed X(3872) are examined. It is found that the mass of X(3872) is consistent with the 1^{++} 2^3P_1 and the 2^{-+}…
The mass of the {\eta}' meson is theoretically expected to be reduced at finite density, which indicates the existence of {\eta}'-nucleus bound states. To investigate these states, we perform missing-mass spectroscopy for the (p, d)…
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…
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} \ (…
X (3872) because of its mass that is just below D^0 D-^0* threshold and its quantum number j^pc=1^++ can be considered as a weakly bound molecule. It can be regarded as a non-relativistic system depicting universality and compositeness.…
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…
By describing the $X(3872)$ using the extended Friedrichs scheme, in which $D\bar D^*$ is the dominant component, we calculate the decay rates of the $X(3872)$ to $\pi^0$ and a $P$-wave charmonium $\chi_{cJ}$ state with $J=0,1$, or $2$, and…
I report results on the X(3872) from the Tevatron. Mass and other properties have been studied, with a focus on new results on the dipion mass spectrum in X -> J/PsiPi^+Pi^- decays. Dipions favor interpreting the decay as J/PsiRho, implying…
The processes $X(3872)\to D^{*0}\bar{D^{0}}+c.c.,~\gamma J/\psi,~\gamma \psi(2S),$ and $\gamma D^{+}D^{-}$ are searched for in a $9.0~\rm fb^{-1}$ data sample collected at center-of-mass energies between $4.178$ and $4.278$ GeV with the…
We show that a quantum system with nonlocal interaction can have bound states of unusual type -- Isolated States (IS). IS is a bound state that is not in correspondence with the $S$-matrix pole. IS can have a positive as well as a negative…
Recent results by BELLE and BaBar point to the existence of a second X particle decaying in D^0 D^0bar pi^0, a few MeV above the X(3872). We identify the two X states with the neutral particles predicted by the 4-quark model and show that…
It is pointed out that dipion invariant mass spectrum in $X (3872) \to \pi \pi J/\psi$ is a useful probe for the $J^{PC}$ quantum number of the X(3872), complementary to the angular distributions. If X(3872) is a $^1 P_1$ state, the dipion…
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…
