{"arxiv_id":"hep-ph/0406080","title":"Diagnostic Decays of the X(3872)","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.","primary_cat":"hep-ph","cross_cats":["hep-ex"],"submitted_at":"2004-06-07T15:10:27+00:00","latest_version":2,"source":"arxiv","source_label":"arXiv","source_url":null,"has_pdf":true,"has_source":false,"verdict":"CONDITIONAL","confidence":"MODERATE","one_line_summary":"Model calculations predict a molecular X(3872) decays to gamma psi-prime at about 0.03 keV versus roughly 90 keV for charmonium, making that channel the cleanest available test of the molecule hypothesis.","novelty_score":6.0,"correctness_risk":"medium","formal_verification":"none","upvotes":0,"downvotes":0,"pith_score":0.0,"inbound_count":27,"_links":{"html":"https://pith.science/paper/hep-ph/0406080","verdict":"/api/v1/verdicts/hep-ph/0406080"}}
