Comment on `Note on X(3872) production at hadron colliders and its molecular structure'

A. Esposito, B. Grinstein, L. Maiani +4

We briefly comment on the paper by Albaladejo et al. [arXiv:1709.09101], rejecting its conclusions.

A new -parity violating amplitude in the decay?

R. Baldini Ferroli, F. De Mori, M. Destefanis +25

The meson has negative -parity so that, in the limit of isospin conservation, its decay into should be purely electromagnetic. However, the measured branching fra…

The observation of light nuclei at ALICE and the X(3872) conundrum

A. Esposito, A. L. Guerrieri, L. Maiani +4

The new data reported by ALICE on the production of light nuclei with pT < 10 GeV in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 2.76 TeV are used to compute an order-of-magnitude estimate of…

Production of Tetraquarks at the LHC

A. L. Guerrieri, F. Piccinini, A. Pilloni +1

The high prompt production cross section of X(3872) at hadron colliders has shown to be very informative about the quark nature of the X, Y, Z states. We present here a number of r…

A Tentative Description of Z_c,b States in Terms of Metastable Feshbach Resonances

M. Papinutto, F. Piccinini, A. Pilloni +2

We attempt a description of the recently discovered Z_{c,b} states in terms of Feshbach resonances arising from the interaction between the `closed' subspace of hadrocharmonium lev…

A J^PG=1++ Charged Resonance in the Y(4260) to pi+pi- J/psi Decay?

R. Faccini, L. Maiani, F. Piccinini +3

New BES and Belle data show a peak in the Y(4260) decay into J/psi plus one charged pion. We point out that the peak might correspond to a charged resonance at about 3880 MeV predi…
