We present results from a study of X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays produced via exclusive B--> K X(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M_X(3872)= (3871.84\pm 0.27 (stat)\pm 0.19 (syst)) MeV, a 90% CL upper limit on the natural width of Gamma_X(3872)<1.2 MeV, the product branching fraction Bf(B+-> K+X(3872))xBf(X(3872)-->pi+pi-J/psi)=(8.61 \pm 0.82(stat) \pm 0.52 (syst)) x10^{-6}, and a ratio of branching fractions Bf(B0--> K0 X(3872))/BF(B+--> K+ X(3872))=0.50\pm 0.14(stat)\pm0.04(syst). The difference in mass between the X(3872)-->pi+pi-J/psi signals in B+ and B0 decays is Delta M_{X(3872)= (-0.69 \pm 0.97 (stat)} \pm 0.19 (syst)) MeV. A search for a charged partner of the X(3872) in the decays Bbar0-->K- X+ or B+-->K0X+, X+-->pi+pi0 J/psi resulted in upper limits on the product branching fractions for these processes that are well below expectations for the case that the X(3872) is the neutral member of an isospin triplet. In addition, we examine possible J^{PC} quantum number assignments for the X(3872) based on comparisons of angular correlations between final state particles in X(3872)-->pi+pi-J/psi decays with simulated data for J^{PC} values of 1^{++} and 2^{-+}. We examine the influence of rho-omega interference in the M(pi+pi-) spectrum. The analysis is based on a 711fb^{-1} data sample that contains 772 million BBbar meson pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance in the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider.

    First evidence reported for X(3872)→π⁰χ_c0 decay at 3.4σ, with branching fraction ratio 2.3 relative to π⁺π⁻J/ψ, upper limits on other modes, and no signal for X(3915)→π⁰χ_c1.

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A model constrained by ALICE correlation data reproduces the LHCb K−Λ mass spectrum above 1680 MeV but overshoots the threshold region dominated by the Xi(1620).

  3. $KX(3872)$ interaction and correlation function

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A unitarized fixed-center approximation predicts a narrow KX(3872) bound state 50 MeV below threshold and a characteristic femtoscopic correlation function.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Calibrating the DK molecular model on the newly measured Tcs0(2327) width predicts the Ds0*(2317) width to be 63 to 209 keV.

  5. 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.

  6. Branching Fractions of the $X(3872)$

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    If the X(3872) is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, its J/psi pi+ pi- branching fraction lies between roughly 4% and 33%, and is likely several times larger than the measured resonance-feature fraction.

  7. Radiative decay of $\chi_{c1}$ states in effective Lagrangian approach

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A triangle-loop effective Lagrangian model predicts chi_c1(3872) radiative branching fractions tens of times above LHCb measurements, supporting a non-charmonium interpretation.
