We explore molecular states of two open heavy-quark mesons (Q qbar)-(qbar Q) in a quark-based model in terms of a four-body non-relativistic Hamiltonian with pairwise effective interactions. Molecular states are found in the combinations of {D, D*, B, B*} with {Dbar, Dbar*, Bbar, Bbar*}, including a weakly-bound D-Dbar* state near the threshold which may be qualitatively identified as the 3872 state observed recently by the Belle Collaboration.

  1. Possible Evidence for Neutral Color-Singlet $q\bar q$ Quark Matter from High-Energy Pb-Emulsion Collisions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The complex e+e- invariant mass spectrum below 50 MeV is attributed to thermal annihilation and bound states of QED-deconfined and confined neutral q bar q quark matter.

  2. Hadroproduction data support tetraquark hypothesis for $\chi_{c1} (3872)$

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A parameter-free formalism, based on one color-octet channel, reproduces LHC hadroproduction rates of χc1(3872) and supports its tetraquark interpretation.

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Leading-order predictions for three-body point production rates of B and B* meson systems are derived in short-range NREFT from two-body input alone.

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A coupled-channel mixture model fitted to the X(3872) and Z(3930) masses predicts the X(3860) at about 3867 MeV, dominated by the charmonium core.

  5. Investigating triply heavy tetraquark states through QCD sum rules

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    QCD sum rules with condensates up to dimension 9 predict triply heavy tetraquark masses of 5.4 to 6.2 GeV for charm systems and 14.9 to 15.7 GeV for bottom systems.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using the measured e+e- -> gamma X(3872) cross section as a reference, the authors predict measurable e+e- -> gamma chi_c0(2P) and e+e- -> gamma chi_c2(2P) production and propose the gamma D Dbar final state as a sear...

  7. 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.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Heavy-quark large-mass limit applied to E1 transitions of χ_c1(2P) yields decay rates that match LHCb measurements for χ_c1(3872) under the 2P assignment.

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A diquark-antidiquark quark model with parameters fitted to X(3872) and Tcc predicts hidden-charm tetraquark masses and tentatively assigns XYZ states.

  10. The charming case of $X(3872)$ and $\chi_{c1}(2P)$

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    The radiative decay ratio R(X(3872)) = B(X(3872) to psi(2S) gamma)/B(X(3872) to J/psi gamma) is predicted to be 1.7 ± 0.3, matching the LHCb value 1.67, supporting the chi_c1(2P) charmonium assignment.
