Popis: | If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced by the creation of ${D}^{*0}{\overline{D}}^{0}$ or ${D}^{0}{\overline{D}}^{*0}$ at short distances followed by the formation of the bound state from the charm-meson pair. The $X$ can also be produced by the creation of ${D}^{*}{\overline{D}}^{*}$ at short distances followed by the rescattering of the charm-meson pair into $X\ensuremath{\pi}$. At a high-energy hadron collider, the prompt cross section from this mechanism has a narrow peak in the $X\ensuremath{\pi}$ invariant mass distribution near the ${D}^{*}{\overline{D}}^{*}$ threshold from a charm-meson triangle singularity. An order-of-magnitude estimate of the ratio of the cross section for producing the peak in the $X{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}}$ distribution to the cross section for producing $X$ without an accompanying pion suggests that the peak may be observable at the LHC. |
