We report the first determination of the absolute branching fractions of the X(3872) decays by globally analyzing the measurements provided by the Belle, BaBar, BESIII, and LHCb experiments. The branching fractions of X(3872) to pi^+pi^-…

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 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 evaluate the contribution to the $X(3872)$ width from a triangle mechanism in which the $X$ decays into $D^{*0}\bar{D}^0 -cc$, then the $D^{*0} (\bar{D}^{*0})$ decays into $D^0 \pi^0$ ($\bar{D}^0 \pi^0$) and the $D^0 \bar{D}^0$ fuse to…

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…

We report the observation of the X(3872) in the J/psi pi+pi- channel, with J/psi decaying to mu+mu- in p-p(bar) collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. Using approximately 230 pb^-1 of data collected with the Run II D0 detector, we observe 522…

We report on a search for the recently reported X(3872) state using 15.1 fb^{-1} e+ e- data taken in the \sqrt{s} = 9.46-11.30 GeV region. Separate searches for the production of X(3872) in untagged gamma-gamma fusion and e+ e- annihilation…

The X(3872) resonance is considered as a hadronic molecule, a loosely-bound state of charmed D0 and D*0 mesons, since its mass is very close to the D*0 barD0 threshold. Assuming structure and quantum numbers of X(3872) as (D0 barD*0 - D*0…

We re-examine the re-scattering mechanism for the X(3872), as a candidate for the 2P charmonium state $\chi_{c1}(2P)$, decaying to $J/\psi\rho(\omega)$ through exchanging $D^{(*)}$ mesons between intermediate states $D(\bar{D})$ and…

In this work, we have calculated the mass spectra and decay properties of dimesonic states in the variational scheme. The inter-mesonic interaction considered as the Hellmann potential and One Pion Exchange potential. The mass spectra of…

The present day experimental data on the $X(3872)$ decays do not allow to make clear conclusions on the dominating structure of this state. We discuss here an alternative way to study its structure by means of the two-step $\bar D^*$ (or…

Last year's X(3872) discovery was confirmed with the CDF II detector in pbarp collisions. We measure its mass to be $3871.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4 MeV/c2$. The source of X-mesons in the large CDF sample is resolved by studying their vertex…

We show that the literature on pion exchange between charm and bottom mesons is inconsistent. We derive the formalism explicitly, expose differences between papers in the literature and clarify the implications. We show that the X(3872) can…

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…

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…

Properties of X(3872) are studied by regarding it as a $DD^{\ast}$ hadronic molecule with $J^{PC} = 2^{-+}$ in the phenomenological Lagrangian approach. We find that our model with about 97.6% isospin zero component explains the existing…

It has been generally expected that the $X(3872)$ has a spin-2 partner, $X_2$, with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=2^{++}$. In the hadronic molecular model, its mass was predicted to be below the $D^*\bar D^*$ threshold, and the new structure…

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,…

Since the discovery of X(3872), its structure has been in ceaseless dispute. The data of $X(3872)\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 J/\psi$ suggest that X(3872) may be a high-spin charmonium-like of $2^{-+}$. In terms of the light front quark…

The recently BaBar results raise the possibility that X(3872) has negative parity. This makes people reconsider assigning X(3872) to the $1{^1D_2}(c\bar c)$ state. In this paper we give a general form of the wave function of $2^{-+}$…
