Abstract

The nature of the X(3872) enhancement is analysed in the framework of the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion, by studying it as a regular charmonium state, though strongly influenced and shifted by open-charm decay channels. The observed but Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka-forbidden and channels are coupled as well, but effectively smeared out by using complex and masses, in order to account for their physical widths, followed by a rigorous algebraic procedure to restore unitarity. A very delicate interplay between the , , and channels is observed. The data clearly suggest that the X(3872) is a very narrow axial-vector resonance, with a pole at or slightly below the threshold.
