abstract
The $X(3872)$ is the first and the most interesting one amongst the abundant $XYZ$ states. Its mass coincides exactly with the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold with an uncertainty of 180 keV. Precise knowledge of its mass is crucial to understand the $X(3872)$. However, whether it is above or below the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold is still unknown. We propose a completely new method to measure the $X(3872)$ mass precisely by measuring the $X(3872)\gamma$ line shape between 4010 and 4020 MeV, which is strongly sensitive to the $X(3872)$ mass relative to the $D^0\bar D^{*0}$ threshold due to a triangle singularity. This method can be applied to experiments which produce copious $D^{*0}\bar D^{*0}$ pairs, such as electron-positron, proton-antiproton and other experiments, and may lead to much more precise knowledge about the $X(3872)$ mass.

Proposes that a K* Ξ molecular state (Λ(2150)) generates a triangle singularity explaining the peak in K- p → K Ξ(1530), with distinct spin density matrix element variations as a testable signature.
Measuring the ratio of radiative decay branching fractions from Ds1(2460) can probe the nature of Ds0*(2317) and Ds1(2460) mesons.
