The $B^+ \to J/ψωK^+ $ reaction and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular states

Abstract

We study the $B^+ \to J/ψωK^+ $ reaction, measured by the LHCb collaboration, and show that it is driven by the presence of two resonances, the $X(3940)$ and $X(3930)$, that are of molecular nature and couple most strongly to $D^* \bar{D}^*$, but also to $J/ψω$. Because of that, in the $J/ψω$ mass distribution we find a peak related to the excitation of the resonances and a cusp with large strength at the $D^* \bar{D}^*$ threshold.
