    Threshold corrections of χc(2P)\chi_{\rm c}(2P) and χb(3P)\chi_{\rm b}(3P) states and J/ψρJ/\psi \rho and J/ψωJ/\psi \omega transitions of the X(3872)X(3872) in a coupled-channel model

    We calculate the masses of χc(2P)\chi_{\rm c}(2P) and χb(3P)\chi_{\rm b}(3P) states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation effects. According to our results, we interpret the resonances characterized by very small threshold corrections, like χb(3P)\chi_{\rm b}(3P)'s, as almost pure quarkonia, and those states characterized by non-negligible threshold corrections, like the X(3872)X(3872), as quarkonium cores plus meson-meson components. We also study the J/ψρJ/\psi \rho and J/ψωJ/\psi \omega hidden-flavor strong decays of the X(3872)X(3872). The decays are calculated as the dissociation of one of these components (D0Dˉ0D^0 \bar D^{0*}) into a ccˉc \bar c state (J/ψJ/\psi) plus a light meson (ρ\rho or ω\omega) in a potential model. In particular, our result for the ratio between the X(3872)J/ψωX(3872) \rightarrow J/\psi \omega and J/ψρJ/\psi \rho widths (0.6) is compatible with the present experimental data (0.8±0.30.8\pm0.3) within the experimental error

    The unquenched quark model

    In this contribution, we briefly discuss the results for charmonium and bottomonium spectra with self-energy corrections in the unquenched quark model, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The UQM formalism can be extended to include also the effects of hybrid mesons, i.e. hybrid loops. Finally, we discuss the results of a calculation of hybrid mesons spectrum in Coulomb Gauge QCD.Comment: Talk given at the conference "Dark Matter, Hadron Physics and Fusion Physics", Messina (Italy), September 24-26, 201
