With data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at center-of-mass energies from 4.009 to 4.420 GeV, the process $e^{+} e^{-} \to \gamma X(3872)$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of $6.3\sigma$. The measured mass of the $X(3872)$ is ($3871.9\pm 0.7_{\rm stat.}\pm 0.2_{\rm sys.}$) MeV/$c^2$, in agreement with previous measurements. Measurements of the product of the cross section $\sigma[e^{+} e^{-} \to \gamma X(3872)]$ and the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}[X(3872) \to \pi^{+} \pi^{-} J/\psi]$ at center-of-mass energies 4.009, 4.229, 4.260, and 4.360 GeV are reported. Our measurements are consistent with expectations for the radiative transition process $Y(4260) \to \gamma X(3872)$.

Hunting for $B\bar B$ molecular state $X_{b0}$ via radiative transition of $\Upsilon(10753)$
hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0
The decay Υ(10753) → γ X_b0 is predicted to have partial width 0.2-1.5 keV and branching fraction 10^{-6} to 10^{-5} for binding energies 0-10 MeV, dominated by B1(') meson loops.
