We report the observation of a narrow charmonium-like state produced in the exclusive decay process B+ -> K+ pi+pi- J/psi. This state, which decays into pi+pi- J/psi, has a mass of 3872.0+-0.6(stat)+-0.5(syst) MeV, a value that is very near the M_D + M_D* mass threshold. The results are based on an analysis of 152M B-Bbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance in the Belle detector at the KEKB collider. The statistical significance of the signal is in excess of 10 sigma.

  1. Analysis of the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance from lattice QCD under chiral symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Chiral symmetry corrections in lattice QCD fits shift the D0*(2300) resonance pole closer to the Dπ threshold and reduce its width, while coupled channels produce a two-pole structure.

  2. Open-flavor threshold effects on quarkonium spectrum in the BOEFT

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    BOEFT quantifies threshold-induced shifts in quarkonium masses below threshold by solving coupled Schrödinger equations using lattice potentials and one parameter fixed to the χ_c1(3872) mass.

  3. Coupled-channel study of the three-body $DDK$ and $D^{*}D^{*}K$

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The DDK system supports a deeply bound compact state across wide parameters and possibly a shallow three-body halo state near the D-DK threshold, with negligible D*D*K coupling and no resonances.

  4. Enhanced evidence of $X(7200)$ and improved measurements of $X(6900)$ parameters from a combined LHCb-ATLAS-CMS analysis

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Simultaneous fits to LHCb-ATLAS-CMS data raise X(7200) evidence to 3.7–6.6σ (best 6.6σ) while confirming X(6900) at >12σ with improved mass and width precision.

  5. Proposed mixing between $2P$ and $1F$ wave charmonia

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Unquenched calculation finds sizable 2P-1F mixing in charmonium with angles 7.5° and 15.4°, yielding predictions for two-photon and two-gluon decay widths.

  6. All-charm tetraquarks at hadron colliders: A high-precision fragmentation perspective

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The authors construct and publicly release the TQ4Q2.0 fragmentation functions for all-heavy S-wave tetraquarks via NRQCD factorization, extending prior work with nonconstituent contributions and replica-based uncertainties.

  7. Production of $D_s\bar{D}_s$ and $D\bar{D}$ bound states in the $B$ decays within the Bethe-Salpeter framework

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Within the Bethe-Salpeter framework the authors find bound-state solutions for D anti-D pairs under all three coupling sets examined and for Ds anti-Ds pairs only in a restricted region, yielding predicted B+ branchin...

  8. Radiative decays of hadronic molecules: From confusion to inspiration

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Radiative decays of hadronic molecules require careful treatment of scale hierarchies to resolve interpretive confusions, as demonstrated by reviewing decay types and instructive examples.
