I briefly review the properties of the hidden charm meson X(3872), discussing some puzzling aspects concerning its theoretical interpretation.
We study the radiative decay of $X(3872)$ based on the assumption that $X(3872)$ is regarded as a $c\overline{c}$ charmonium with quantum number $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ ($J,\,P,\,C$ represent the spin, parity and charge conjugation, respectively).…
Exotic charmonium-like states have been observed by various experiments over the last 15 years, but their nature is still under discussion. Photo-(muo)production is a new promising instrument to study them. COMPASS, a fixed target…
The analysis of the mass spectrum and the calculation of the strong decay of P-wave charmonium states strongly support to explain the newly observed X(3915) and X(4350) as new members in P-wave charmonium family, i.e., $\chi_{c0}^\prime$…
Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open…
We deploy a kinetic-rate equation to evaluate the transport of $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $B_c$ and X(3872) in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions and compare their production yields to experimental data from the Large Hadron Collider. The…
To illustrate the campaign to extend our knowledge of the charmonium spectrum, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a…
It is proposed that the newly discovered X(3872) is a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ $D^0\bar D^{0*}$ hadronic resonance stabilized by admixtures of $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho J/\psi$. A specific model of the state is constructed and tests of its…
Charmonium is a bound state of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark, and a charmoniumlike state is a resonant structure that contains a charmed quark and antiquark pair but has properties that are incompatible with a conventional…
The observation of many unexpected states decaying into heavy quarkonia has challenged the usual Q-Qbar interpretation. We will discuss the nature of some of the charmonium-like resonances recently observed by BES III and LHCb, and their…
It was recently proposed that the $X(3872)$ binding energy, the difference between the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold and the $X(3872)$ mass, can be precisely determined by measuring the $\gamma X(3872)$ line shape from a short-distance…
Enfant terrible of charmonium spectroscopy, the resonance $X(3872)$, generated a stream of interpretations and ushered in a new exotic $XYZ$ spectroscopy. In th meantime, many (if not all) characteristics of $X(3872)$ are rather ambiguous.…
To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium…
If the recently-discovered charmonium state X(3872) is a loosely-bound S-wave molecule of the charm mesons \bar D^0 D^{*0} or \bar D^{*0} D^0, it can be produced in B meson decay by the coalescence of charm mesons. If this coalescence…
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…
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…
Spectroscopy results for Belle and BaBar are reported. A particular focus is put on new results of the X(3872) state with its radiative decays to $J$/$\psi$$\gamma$ and $\psi'$$\gamma$, its decay into $J$/$\psi$3$\pi$ and the search for…
The chromomagnetic interaction, with proper account for flavour-symmetry breaking, is shown to explain the mass and coupling properties of the X(3872) resonance as a $J^{PC}$ = 1$^{++}$ state consisting of a heavy quark-antiquark pair and a…
We discuss the possible interpretation of X(3872) as a $DD^{\ast}$ hadronic molecule with $J^{PC} = 2^{-+}$. Using the phenomenological Lagrangian approach, we studied its radiative and strong decay properties. We find that our model with…
The X(3872) is one of the most puzzling resonances ever observed. First seen by the Belle Collaboration in 2003, it solicited the effort of a hundred of experimental physicists and dozens of theorists, who nowadays are trying yet to shed…
