We consider the implications from the possibility that the recently observed state X(3872) is a meson-antimeson molecule. We write an effective Lagrangian consistent with the heavy-quark and chiral symmetries needed to describe X(3872). We claim that if X(3872) is a molecular bound state of D^*0 and anti-D^0 mesons, the heavy-quark symmetry requires the existence of the molecular bound state X_b of B^*0 and anti-B^0 with the mass of 10604 MeV.

  1. Resolving the CP Asymmetry Puzzle in $B$ Decays with Unitarized Final-State Interactions

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A unitarized FSI framework with no adjustable parameters for B decays, calibrated on BaBar γγ o D Dbar data, predicts enhanced CP asymmetries in pure-annihilation channels that match existing measurements.

  2. Radiative decays of $X(3872)$ within $D{\bar D}^*$ molecular framework

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0

    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.
