abstract

The unusual properties of the X(3872) have led to speculation that it is a weakly bound state of mesons, chiefly $D^0\bar D^{0*}$. Tests of this hypothesis are investigated and it is proposed that measuring the $3\pi J/\psi$, $\gamma J/\psi$, $\gamma \psi'$, $\bar K K^*$, and $\pi\rho$ decay modes of the $X$ will serve as a definitive diagnostic of the molecule hypothesis.

  1. Hidden-Charm Tetraquarks in a Mixture Model: Coupled-Channel Analysis with $c\bar{c}$ and Hadronic Molecular Components

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A coupled-channel mixture model fitted to the X(3872) and Z(3930) masses predicts the X(3860) at about 3867 MeV, dominated by the charmonium core.

  2. A short review on the compositeness of the $X(3872)$

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Radiative decays and the LHCb line-shape data are incompatible with a purely molecular X(3872) and favor a compact or partially composite state, with a proposed molecular-amplitude fit for a decisive test.

  3. Heavy hadronic molecules with pion exchange and quark core couplings: a guide for practitioners

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    X(3872) is best described as a shallow D D* molecule in which one-pion exchange and a small charmonium core provide comparable attraction.

  4. Radiative decays of $X(3872)$ within $D{\bar D}^*$ molecular framework

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using nonrelativistic effective field theory, the X(3872) is treated as a D*D molecule to predict radiative decay widths to D D gamma, finding a strong neutral-over-charged hierarchy and quantifying D D rescattering effects.

  5. Probing the structure of $\chi_{c1}(3872)$: Heavy quark symmetries at work

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Heavy-quark large-mass limit applied to E1 transitions of χ_c1(2P) yields decay rates that match LHCb measurements for χ_c1(3872) under the 2P assignment.

  6. The charming case of $X(3872)$ and $\chi_{c1}(2P)$

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The radiative decay ratio R(X(3872)) = B(X(3872) to psi(2S) gamma)/B(X(3872) to J/psi gamma) is predicted to be 1.7 ± 0.3, matching the LHCb value 1.67, supporting the chi_c1(2P) charmonium assignment.

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

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

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