Description

The author presents a measurement of the dipion mass spectrum in the decay X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} using a 360 pb{sup -1} sample of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. As a benchmark, they also extract the dipion mass distribution for {psi}(2S) {yields} J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} decay. The X(3872) dipion mass spectrum is compared to QCD multipole expansion predictions for various charmonium states, as well as to the hypothesis X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{rho}{sup 0}. They find that the measured spectrum is compatible with {sup 3}S{sub 1} charmonium … continued below

Description

The author presents a measurement of the dipion mass spectrum in the decay X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} using a 360 pb{sup -1} sample of p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. As a benchmark, they also extract the dipion mass distribution for {psi}(2S) {yields} J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} decay. The X(3872) dipion mass spectrum is compared to QCD multipole expansion predictions for various charmonium states, as well as to the hypothesis X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{rho}{sup 0}. They find that the measured spectrum is compatible with {sup 3}S{sub 1} charmonium decaying to J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and with the X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{rho}{sup 0} hypothesis. There is, however, no {sup 3}S{sub 1} charmonium state available for assignment to the X(3872). The multipole expansion calculations for {sup 1}P{sub 1} and {sup 3}D{sub J} states are in clear disagreement with the X(3872) data. For the {psi}(2S) the data agrees well with previously published results and to multipole expansion calculations for {sup 3}S{sub 1} charmonium. Other, non-charmonium, models for the X(3872) are described too. They conclude that since the dipion mass spectrum for X(3872) is compatible with J/{psi}{rho}{sup 0} hypothesis, the X(3872) should be C-positive. This conclusion is supported by recent results from Belle Collaboration which observed X(3872) {yields} J/{psi}{gamma} decay. They argue that if X(3872) is a charmonium, then it should be either 1{sup 1}D{sub 2{sup -+}} or 2{sup 3}P{sub 1{sup ++}} state, decaying into J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} in violation of isospin conservation. A non-charmonium assignment, such as D{bar D}* molecule, is also quite possible.
