New data for X(3872) production in B decays provide a separation between X production and decay, sharpen several experimental puzzles and impose serious constraints on all models. Both charged and neutral B decays produce a narrow neutral…
We present a study of the isospin-violating one-pion strong decays of single heavy tetraquarks $X_Q = X(s q \bar q \bar Q)$, $Q=c, b$, and $q=u, d$ with spin-parity $J^P = 0^+$. We assume that the tetraquarks have the configuration of a…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
Decays of X(3872) and its partners as hidden-charm axial-vector tetra-quark mesons are studied. As the result, it is seen that the iso-triplet partners of X(3872) can be broad, and therefore, higher statistics would be needed to find them.
We discuss how the latest data on X(3872) in B and B_s decays speak about its tetraquark nature. The established decay pattern, including the up to date observations by CMS, are explained by the mixing of two quasi-degenerate, unresolvable,…
The color anti-triplet triquark $q\bar{q}\bar{q}$ is considered as a compact component in the tetraquark structure $cq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ of exotic $D_{s}$ mesons. We discuss the mass spectrum and the flavor mixing of the triquarks by using the…
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…
Influence of the isospin-violating (\rho^0, \omega)-mixing is discussed for any pair of decays of \rho^0, \omega into the same final state. It is demonstrated, in analogy to the CP-violation in neutral kaon decays, that isospin violation…
Recently entanglement suppression was proposed to be one possible origin of emergent symmetries. Here we test this conjecture in the context of heavy meson scatterings. The low-energy interactions of $D^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}…
Many extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model contain superfields for quarks which are singlets under weak isospin with electric charge -1/3. We explore the possibility that such isosinglet quarks have low or intermediate…
In the X(3872) decay, both of the J/\psi\pi\pi\ and J/\psi\pi\pi\pi\ branching fractions are observed experimentally, and their sizes are comparable to each other. In order to clarify the mechanism to cause such a large isospin violation,…
Decay property of hidden-charm tetra-quark mesons is studied. It is seen that estimated width of iso-triplet odd $\mathcal{C}$ partners of X(3872), although still crude, is compatible with the measured ones of Z_c(3900). It is pointed out…
We aim to clarify the experimentally observed near-degeneracy and decay patterns of the isospin, $I=1$, hidden-bottom tetraquarks $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ with quantum numbers $J^{P}=1^{+}$.We refer to them as $Z_b$ and $Z_b^{'}$,…
Decays of hidden-charm scalar tetra-quark mesons as the partners of D_{s0}(2317) which has successfully been assigned to the iso-triplet scalar tetra-quark [c,n][sbar,nbar]_{I=1} meson are studied. Because OZI-rule allowed strong decays are…
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…
We incorporate fine-structure corrections into the dynamical diquark model of multiquark exotic hadrons. These improvements include effects due to finite diquark size, spin-spin couplings within the diquarks, and most significantly,…
Although SU(2) isospin symmetry is generally assumed in the basic theory of the strong interaction, a number of significant violations have been observed in scattering and bound states of nucleons. Many of these violations can be attributed…
We study the isospin amplitudes in the exclusive $B$ to $D^*\bar{D}K$ decay process and fit the available $D^{*0}\bar{D}^0$ invariant mass distributions near threshold. The analysis demonstrates that the production of the isospin triplet…
A fundamental symmetry of nuclear and particle physics is isospin whose third component is the Gell-Mann/Nishijima expression I(z)=Q-(B+S)/2 . The role of isospin symmetry in relativistic heavy ion collisions is studied. An isospin I(z),…
We propose an effective field theory incorporating light SU(3)-flavour and heavy quark spin symmetry to describe charmed meson-antimeson bound states. At lowest order the effective field theory entails a remarkable simplification: it only…
