Abstract: (arXiv)
Triangle mechanisms for B0(J/ψπ+π)K+πB^0\to (J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-) K^+\pi^- are studied. Experimentally, an X(3872)X(3872) peak has been observed in this process. When the final (J/ψπ+π)π(J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-)\pi invariant mass is around the DDˉD^*\bar D^* threshold, one of the triangle mechanisms causes a triangle singularity and generates a sharp X(3872)X(3872)-like peak in the J/ψπ+πJ/\psi\pi^+\pi^- invariant mass distribution. The Breit-Wigner mass and width fitted to the spectrum are 3871.68 MeV (a few keV above the D0Dˉ0D^{*0}\bar{D}^0 threshold) and \sim0.4 MeV, respectively.These Breit-Wigner parameters hardly depends on a choice of the model parameters. Comparing with the precisely measured X(3872)X(3872) mass and width, 3871.69±0.173871.69\pm 0.17 MeV and <1.2< 1.2 MeV, the agreement is remarkable. When studying the X(3872)X(3872) signal from this process, this non-resonant contribution has to be understood in advance. We also study a charge analogous process B0(J/ψπ0π)K+π0B^0\to (J/\psi\pi^0\pi^-) K^+\pi^0. A similar triangle singularity exists and generates an X(3876)X^-(3876)-like peak.
