Short Range Structure in the X(3872)

Abstract

It is proposed that the newly discovered X(3872) is a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ $D^0\bar D^{0*}$ hadronic resonance stabilized by admixtures of $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho J/\psi$. A specific model of the state is constructed and tests of its internal structure are suggested via the predicted decay modes $D^0\bar D^0\pi^0$, $D^0\bar D^0\gamma$, $\pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$, and $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 J/\psi$.
