Diagnostic Decays of the X(3872)
read the original abstract
The unusual properties of the X(3872) have led to speculation that it is a weakly bound state of mesons, chiefly $D^0\bar D^{0*}$. Tests of this hypothesis are investigated and it is proposed that measuring the $3\pi J/\psi$, $\gamma J/\psi$, $\gamma \psi'$, $\bar K K^*$, and $\pi\rho$ decay modes of the $X$ will serve as a definitive diagnostic of the molecule hypothesis.

Probing the structure of $\chi_{c1}(3872)$: Heavy quark symmetries at work
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.

Radiative decays of hadronic molecules: From confusion to inspiration
Radiative decays of hadronic molecules require careful treatment of scale hierarchies to resolve interpretive confusions, as demonstrated by reviewing decay types and instructive examples.
