Abstract

The chromomagnetic interaction, with proper account for flavour-symmetry breaking, is shown to explain the mass and coupling properties of the X(3872) resonance as a JPC = 1++ state consisting of a heavy quark-antiquark pair and a light one. It is crucial to introduce all the spin-colour configurations compatible with these quantum numbers and diagonalise the chromomagnetic interaction in this basis. This approach thus differs from the molecular picture D D* and from the diquark-antidiquark picture.
