Abstract

In this paper we consider all possible 1D and 2P cc assignments for the recently discovered X(3872). Taking the experimental mass as input, we give numerical results for the E1 radiative widths as well as the three principal types of strong decays; open-charm, cc annihilation and closed-charm hadronic transitions. We find that many assignments may be immediately eliminated due to the small observed total width. The remaining viable cc assignments are 1³D₃, 1³D₂, 1¹D₂, 2³P₁ and 2¹P₁. A search for the mode J/\ensuremathψ\ensuremathπ⁰\ensuremathπ⁰ can establish the C parity of the X(3872), which will eliminate many of these possibilities. Radiative transitions can then be used to test the remaining assignments, as they populate characteristic final states. The 1³D₂ and 1¹D₂ states are predicted to have large (ca. 50%) radiative branching fractions to \ensuremathχ_c1\ensuremathγ and h_c\ensuremathγ, respectively. We predict that the 1³D₃ will also be relatively narrow and will have a significant (ca. 10%) branching fraction to \ensuremathχ_c2\ensuremathγ, and should also be observable in B decay. Tests for non-ccX(3872) assignments are also discussed.
