Abstract: (APS)
It was recently proposed that the X(3872) binding energy, the difference between the D0D¯*0 threshold and the X(3872) mass, can be precisely determined by measuring the γX(3872) line shape from a short-distance D*0D¯*0 source produced at high-energy experiments. Here, we investigate the feasibility of such a proposal by estimating the cross sections for the e+e-→π0γX(3872) and pp¯→γX(3872) processes considering the D*0D¯*0D0/D¯*0D*0D¯0 triangle loops. These loops can produce a triangle singularity slightly above the D*0D¯*0 threshold. It is found that the peak structures originating from the D*0D¯*0 threshold cusp and the triangle singularity are not altered much by the energy dependence introduced by the e+e-→π0D*0D¯*0 and pp¯→D¯*0D*0 production parts or by considering a finite width for the X(3872). We find that σ(e+e-→π0γX(3872))×Br(X(3872)→π+π-J/ψ) is O(0.1  fb) with the γX(3872) invariant mass integrated from 4.01 to 4.02 GeV and the c.m. energy of the e+e- pair fixed at 4.23 GeV. The cross section σ(pp¯→γX(3872))×Br(X(3872)→π+π-J/ψ) is estimated to be of O(10  pb). Our results suggest that a precise measurement of the X(3872) binding energy can be done at PANDA.
