abstract

We explore the consequences of heavy quark spin symmetry for the charmed meson-antimeson system in a contact-range (or pionless) effective field theory. As a trivial consequence, we theorize the existence of a heavy quark spin symmetry partner of the X(3872), with $J^{PC}=2^{++}$, which we call X(4012) in reference to its predicted mass. If we additionally assume that the X(3915) is a $0^{++}$ heavy spin symmetry partner of the X(3872), we end up predicting a total of six $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ molecular states. We also discuss the error induced by higher order effects such as finite heavy quark mass corrections, pion exchanges and coupled channels, allowing us to estimate the expected theoretical uncertainties in the position of these new states.

  1. Systematic Study of Coupled-Channel Dynamics in Doubly Heavy Hadronic Molecules

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit coupled-channel dynamics modifies pole structures and can eliminate or shift higher-lying states in doubly heavy systems, while single-channel models suffice only for near-threshold states like T_cc.

  2. $\boldsymbol{\chi_{c1}}(3872)$ and its Partners in the Diabatic Born-Oppenheimer Approximation for QCD

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    χ_c1(3872) is treated as a bound state in adjoint-meson Born-Oppenheimer potentials within a diabatic model, with calculated spin splittings and decay widths for its multiplet and bottom analogs after tuning to threshold.

  3. Possible Bound States in the $D^\ast\bar D^\ast$/$B^\ast\bar B^\ast$ and $D^\ast D^\ast$/$\bar B^\ast\bar B^\ast$ Systems within the Bethe-Salpeter Formalism

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using one-boson-exchange Bethe-Salpeter equations, the authors find possible S-wave bound states in isoscalar D*Dbar*/B*Bbar* and in the 0(1+) and 1(2+) doubly heavy systems, with the isovector hidden-heavy channels u...

  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. Strong decays of the latest LHCb pentaquark candidates in hadronic molecule pictures

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Treating Pc(4312), Pc(4440) and Pc(4457) as S-wave hadronic molecules, this paper computes decay widths and argues that spins 1/2^-, 1/2^- and 3/2^- respectively fit the measured widths.

  6. Production of exotic hadrons in $pp$ and nuclear collisions

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

    A review of exotic-hadron production in pp, pbar-p, and nuclear collisions, arguing that such measurements can discriminate between hadronic-molecule and compact-tetraquark interpretations of states like the X(3872).
