On the origin of the narrow peak and the isospin symmetry breaking of the $X$(3872)

TL;DR

This paper investigates the structure and decay processes of the X(3872) particle using a hybrid model that includes charmonium and meson-meson channels, explaining its narrow peak and isospin symmetry breaking.

Contribution

It introduces a detailed hybrid model incorporating energy-dependent widths and meson interactions to explain the X(3872)'s properties and isospin breaking effects.

Findings

Narrow J/ψρ and J/ψω peaks appear near the D0D*0 threshold.

The model reproduces the observed isospin symmetry breaking due to meson mass differences.

The ratio of transfer strengths provides insights into the X(3872) mass and coupling strengths.

Abstract

The $X$(3872) formation and decay processes in the $B$-decay are investigated by a $c\bar c$-two-meson hybrid model. The two-meson state consists of the $D^0{\bar D}^*{}^0$, $D^+D^{*-}$, $J/\psi\rho$, and $J/\psi\omega$ channels. The energy-dependent decay widths of the $\rho$ and $\omega$ mesons are introduced. The $D$-${\bar D}^*$ interaction is taken to be consistent with a lack of the $B{\bar B}^*$ bound state. The coupling between the $D{\bar D}^*$ and $J/\psi\rho$ or the $D{\bar D}^*$ and $J/\psi\omega$ channels is obtained from a quark model. The $c{\bar c}$-$D{\bar D}^*$ coupling is taken as a parameter to fit the $X$(3872) mass. The spectrum is calculated up to 4 GeV. It is found that very narrow $J/\psi\rho$ and $J/\psi\omega$ peaks appear around the $D^0{\bar D}^*{}^0$ threshold. The size of the $J/\psi\pi^3$ peak we calculated is 1.29-2.38 times as large as that of the $J/\psi\pi^2$. The isospin symmetry breaking in the present model comes from the mass difference of the charged and neutral $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, which gives a sufficiently large isospin mixing to explain the experiments. It is also found that values of the ratios of the transfer strengths can give the information on the $X$(3872) mass or the size of the $c{\bar c}$-$D{\bar D}^*$ coupling.
