A coupled-channel extension of the unquenched quark model with one per-multiplet subtraction parameter predicts that χc(2P) states, especially the X(3872), have large molecular components while χb(3P) states are almost pure bottomonia.

abstract
In this contribution, we discuss the possible importance of continuum-coupling (or threshold) effects in heavy quarkonium spectroscopy. Our calculations are carried out in a coupled-channel model, where meson-meson higher Fock (or molecular-type) components are introduced in $Q \bar Q$ bare meson wave functions by means of a pair-creation mechanism. After providing a quick resume of the main characteristics of the coupled-channel model, we briefly discuss its application to the calculation of the masses of heavy quarkonium-like $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections. We show that the introduction of pair-creation effects in the Quark Model (QM) formalism makes it possible to explain the deviations of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ states' masses from the experimental data, without affecting the good QM description of the properties of $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states.

Threshold Effects in Heavy Quarkonium Spectroscopy and Decays
A coupled-channel extension of the unquenched quark model with one per-multiplet subtraction parameter predicts that χc(2P) states, especially the X(3872), have large molecular components while χb(3P) states are almost pure bottomonia.
