Abstract: (APS)
A candidate for the charmonium(like) state X(3872) is found 11±7  MeV below the DD¯* threshold using dynamical Nf=2 lattice simulation with JPC=1++ and I=0. This is the first lattice simulation that establishes a candidate for X(3872) in addition to the nearby scattering states DD¯* and J/ψω, which inevitably have to be present in dynamical QCD. We extract large and negative DD¯* scattering length a0DD*=-1.7±0.4  fm and the effective range r0DD*=0.5±0.1  fm, but their reliable determination will have to wait for a simulation on a larger volume. In I=1 channel, only the DD¯* and J/ψρ scattering states are found and no candidate for X(3872). This is in agreement with the interpretation that X(3872) is dominantly I=0, while its small I=1 component arises solely from the isospin breaking and is therefore absent in our simulation with mu=md.
