Diagnostic Decays of the X(3872)

arXiv:hep-ph/0406080 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2004.07.059

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 $3πJ/ψ$, $γJ/ψ$, $γψ'$, $\bar K K^*$, and $πρ$ decay modes of the $X$ will serve as a definitive diagnostic of the molecule hypothesis.
