X(3872)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The X(3872) is an exotic meson candidate with a mass of 3871.68 MeV/c2[1] which does not fit into the quark model. It was first discovered in 2003 by the Belle experiment[2] in Japan and later confirmed by several other experimental collaborations. Several theories have been proposed for its nature,[3] such as a mesonic molecule or a diquark-antidiquark pair (tetraquark).

The quantum numbers of X(3872) have been determined by the

JPC are 1++.[4]
The first evidence of X(3872) production in the
CMS experiment at CERN in January 2022.[5]
