Indications of a Four-Quark Structure for the X(3872) and X(3876) Particles from Recent Belle and BABAR Data

Abstract

Recent results by BELLE and BaBar point to the existence of a second X particle decaying in D0 D0bar pi0, a few MeV above the X(3872). We identify the two X states with the neutral particles predicted by the 4-quark model and show that production and decays are consistent with this assignement. We consider the yet-to-be-observed charged partners and give new hints on how to look for them.
