Nature of X(3872) from recent BESIII data: Considering the universal feature of an S-wave threshold resonance

TL;DR

This paper analyzes recent BESIII data on the X(3872) state, demonstrating through universal near-threshold scattering features that it is an extremely weakly bound charm meson molecule.

Contribution

It provides a combined analysis of different decay channels to establish the molecular nature of X(3872) using universal S-wave threshold resonance features.

Findings

X(3872) is an extremely weakly bound charm meson molecule.

Universal features of near-threshold S-wave scattering support the molecular interpretation.

Combined data analysis strengthens the conclusion about X(3872)'s nature.

Abstract

We analyze the recent data from the BESIII collaboration on the $X(3872)$ state in the $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0$ decay channels. The quantum number and mass of the $X(3872)$ state allow us to exploit the universal feature of the very near-threshold $D\bar D^*$ scattering in the $S$ wave. The analysis of $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ data and $D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0$ data separately as well as the combined analysis of these data together, all support the conclusion that $X(3872)$ is an extremely weakly bound charm meson molecule.
