Molecular Nature of X(3872) in B0 → K0X(3872) and B+K+X(3872) Decays

  • We investigate the decays of B0 → K0X(3872) and B+ → K+X(3872) based on the picture where the X(3872) resonance is strongly coupled to the DD¯*+c.c. channel. In addition to the decay mechanism where the X(3872) resonance is formed from the cc¯ pair hadronization with the short-distance interaction, we have also considered the DD¯* rescattering diagrams in the long-distance scale, where D and D¯* are formed from c and c¯ separately. Because of the difference of the mass thresholds of charged and neutral DD¯* channels, and the rather narrow width of the X(3872) resonance, at the X(3872) mass, the loop functions of D0D¯*0 and D+D¯*− are much different. Taking this difference into account, the ratio of ℬB0→K0X(3872)/ℬB+→K+X(3872)≃0.5 can be naturally obtained. Based on this result, we also evaluate the decay widths of Bs0→η(η′)X(3872). It is expected that future experimental measurements of these decays can be used to elucidate the nature of the X(3872) resonance.
