1203.1123 (T. F. Caramés et al.)

Too many $X's$, $Y's$ and $Z's$?    [PDF]

T. F. Caramés, A. Valcarce, J. Vijande
A large number of new states have been reported during the last few years in charmonium spectroscopy above the charmed meson production threshold. They have been called $X's$, $Y's$, and $Z's$. We reflect on the influence of thresholds on heavy meson spectroscopy comparing different flavor sectors and quantum numbers. The validity of a quark-model picture above open-flavor thresholds would severely restrict the number of channels that may lodge meson-meson molecules.
