SLIDE 6 The discovery of the X(3872)
In 2003, Belle observed an unexpected enhancement in the π+π−J/ψ invariant mass spectrum while studying B+ → K +π+π−J/ψ. It was later confirmed by BaBar in B-decays and by both CDF and D0 at Tevatron in prompt production from p¯ p collisions. Its quantum numbers, mass, and decay patterns make it an unlikely conventional charmonium candidate.
