A resonance X(3872), first observed in the decays $B \to K X$, has been seen to decay to $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The $\pi^+ \pi^-$ mass spectrum peaks near its kinematic upper limit, prompting speculation that the dipion system may be in a…

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…

The $D^{(\ast)}\Xi_{cc}^{(\ast)}$ system and $\bar{\Xi}_{cc}^{(\ast)}\Xi_{cc}^{(\ast)}$ system can be related to the $D^{(\ast)}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ system via heavy anti-quark di-quark symmetry (HADS). In this work, we employ a contact-range…

The X(3872) and Y(4260), both discovered in $\pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$ mode, are rather unusual: $X_c\equiv X(3872)$ is very narrow, while $Y_c \equiv Y(4260)$ has large $Y_c\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$ width. Many models for their composition have been…

The BABAR Collaboration performed a search for xi(2220) production in the initial-state radiation process e^+e^- --> gamma J/psi, J/psi --> gamma K^+K^- or J/psi --> gamma K^0_SK^0_S. No evidence for the xi(2220) resonance has been found.…

While the charmonium model has been effective in describing ccbar bound mesons, there have been many recently discovered charmonium-like states it cannot accommodate. Here I provide a review of recent results from the B-factories including…

A thorough study of the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ elastic $D^{0}\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ and $D^{+}D^{\ast-}$ scattering, where the form of the meson-meson interaction is inferred from lattice QCD calculations of string breaking, is carried out for…

Recent results on the search for pentaquarks and on charmonium spectroscopy at BaBar are reviewed. The latter includes the observation of the puzzling new state X(3872) -> J/psi pi+ pi- in B decays, and the searches for X(3872) in two-body…

We investigate the resonance phenomenon in deeply bound charmoniumlike states. By interpreting the $Y(4220)$, $Y(4360)$, and $\psi(4415)$ states as deeply $S$-wave bound $D \bar D_1$, $D^* \bar D_1$, and $D^* \bar D_2^*$ molecules,…

In this presentation the notion of hadronic molecules is reviewed and it is argued that some of the enigmatic single and double heavy mesons, namely the lowest lying positive parity open charm states, the $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and the…

We construct line shapes for the X(3872) that generalize the Flatte and zero-range line shapes that have been considered previously. These line shapes are associated with scattering amplitudes that are exactly unitary for real values of the…

We report on an exclusive search for the X(3872) state in the decay pi+ pi- J/psi, J/psi to l+ l- (l = e, mu) from untagged gamma-gamma fusion and initial state radiation production using a 15.1 fb-1 data sample with the CLEO III detector.…

We apply a phenomenological Lagrangian approach to the radiative decay Y(4260) -> X(3872) + gamma. The Y(4260) and X(3872) resonances are considered as composite states containing both molecular hadronic and charmonium components. Having a…

We further explore the consequences of treating the X(3872) meson as a tetraquark bound state by analyzing its one-photon decay X => \gamma + J/psi in the framework of our approach developed in previous papers which incorporates quark…

In a study of B+ --> J/psi gamma K+ decays, we find evidence for the radiative decay X(3872) --> J/psi gamma with a statistical significance of 3.4 sigma. We measure the product of branching fractions BF(B+ --> X(3872) K+).BF(X(3872) -->…

We present an analysis of the mass of the X(3872) reconstructed via its decay to J/psi pi+ pi- using 2.4 fb^-1 of integrated luminosity from ppbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV, collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab…

A candidate for the charmonium(like) state X(3872) is found 11 +/- 7 MeV below the DD* threshold using dynamical Nf=2 lattice simulation with J^PC=1^++ and I=0. This is the first lattice simulation that establishes a candidate for X(3872)…

The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the observation of two new resonances, $X(1910)$ and $X(2300)$, which have sparked our interest in studying the light hadron family with $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$ . In this work, we investigate the mass…

Rate for the X(3872) --> J/psi pi pi pi decay is studied by assuming that it proceeds as X(3872) --> J/psi omega --> J/psi pi rho --> J/psi pi pi pi. The result is compared with the X(3872) --> J/psi pi pi decay.

We investigate hidden-charm exotic mesons based on a coupled-channel framework, where the physical states are described as superpositions of a compact $c\bar c$ core (identified with the $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ states) and hadronic components such…
