XEFT is a low-energy effective field theory for charm mesons and pions that provides a systematically improvable description of the X(3872) resonance. A Galilean-invariant formulation of XEFT is introduced to exploit the fact that mass is very nearly conserved in the transition D*0 --> D0 pi0. The transitions D*0 --> D0 pi0 and X --> D0 D0-bar pi0 are described explicitly in XEFT. The effects of the decay D*0 --> D0 gamma and of short-distance decay modes of the X(3872), such as J/psi --> pi+ pi-, can be taken into account by using complex on-shell renormalization schemes for the D*0 propagator and for the D*0 D0-bar propagator in which the positions of their complex poles are specified. Galilean-invariant XEFT is used to calculate the D*0 D0-bar scattering length to next-to-leading order. Galilean invariance ensures the cancellation of ultraviolet divergences without the need for truncating an expansion in powers of the ratio of the pion and charm meson masses.

  1. A short review on the compositeness of the $X(3872)$

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Radiative decays and the LHCb line-shape data are incompatible with a purely molecular X(3872) and favor a compact or partially composite state, with a proposed molecular-amplitude fit for a decisive test.

  2. 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.
