X(3872) AND ITS PARTNERS IN HEAVY QUARK QCD

Abstract

The properties of X(3872) are analyzed starting from a correlation function written in terms of the quark and gluon degrees of freedom. It is shown that in the infinite charm quark mass limit, X(3872) meson should have three other degenerate meson partners. The possible isospin structure of X(3872) is also analyzed and it is concluded that although the observed isospin violation in the decays of X(3872) into the final states J/ψρ and J/ψω is small, X(3872) can contain a sizable I = 1 component.
