Exotic charmonium-like states have been observed by various experiments over the last 15 years, but their nature is still under discussion. Photo-(muo)production is a new promising instrument to study them. COMPASS, a fixed target experiment at CERN, analyzed the full set of the data collected with a muon beam between 2002 and 2011, covering the range from 7 GeV to 19 GeV in the centre-of-mass energy of the virtual photon-nucleon system. A signal in the mass spectrum of $J/psipi^+pi^-$ with the statistical significance of 4.1 $sigma$ was observed in the reaction $mu^+~N rightarrow mu^+(J/psipi^+pi^- )pi^{pm} N$. Its mass and width are consistent with those of the $X(3872)$. The shape of the $pi^+pi^-$ mass distribution from the observed decay into $J/psipi^+pi^-$ is different from previous observations for $X(3872)$. The observed signal may be interpreted as possible evidence of a new charmonium state $widetilde{X}(3872)$. It could be associated with a neutral partner of $X(3872)$ with $C = -1$ predicted by a tetraquark model.

We have searched for exclusive production of exotic charmonia in the reaction $mu^+~N rightarrow mu^+ (J!/!psipi^+pi^-)pi^{pm}~N$ using COMPASS data collected with incoming muons of 160 GeV/$c$ and 200 GeV/$c$ momentum. In the $J!/!psipi^+pi^-$ mass distribution we observe a signal with a statistical significance of 4.1 $sigma$. Its mass and width are consistent with those of the $X(3872)$. The shape of the $pi^+pi^-$ mass distribution from the observed decay into $J!/!psipi^+pi^-$ shows disagreement with previous observations for $X(3872)$. The observed signal may be interpreted as a possible evidence of a new charmonium state. It could be associated with a neutral partner of $X(3872)$ with $C = -1$ predicted by a tetraquark model. The product of cross section and branching fraction of the decay of the observed state into $J!/!psipi^+pi^-$ is determined to be 71$pm$28(stat)$pm$39(syst) pb.
Exotic charmonium-like states have been targeted by various experiments in the last 15 years, but their nature still is unknown. Photo-(muo)production is a new promising instrument to study them. COMPASS, a fixed target experiment at CERN, analyzed the full set of the data collected with a muon beam between 2002 and 2011, covering the range from 7 GeV to 19 GeV in the centre-of-mass energy of the (virtual)photon-nucleon system. Production of the X(3872) state in the reaction $mu^+~N rightarrow mu^+(J/psipi^+pi^- )pi^{pm} N$ has been observed with a statistical significance of around 5 $sigma$. The shape of the $pi^+pi^-$ mass distribution from the decay $X(3872)rightarrow J/psipi^+pi^-$ shows disagreement with previous observations. The product of the cross section and the branching fraction of the $X(3872)$ decay into $J/psipipi$ is estimated as 71$pm$28(stat)$pm$39(syst) pb. The results obtained for the production of the $Z_c^{pm}(3900)$ are also reported as well as future perspectives.
We report the results of a search for the decay $B^0 to X(3872)(to J/psi pi^+ pi^-) gamma$. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $711,{rm fb}^{-1}$ and containing $772 times 10^6 Bbar{B}$ pairs, collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider running at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance energy. We find no evidence for a signal and place an upper limit of $mathcal{B}(B^0 to X(3872)gamma)times mathcal{B}(X(3872) to J/psi pi^+ pi^-) < 5.1 times 10^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level.
The $Z_{c}(3900)$ hadron state has been found by the BES-III and Belle experiments in the decay of the hadron state with higher mass. The first attempt to search for the direct exclusive production of the $Z_c^{pm}(3900)$ hadron by virtual photons has been performed in the reaction $mu^+ N rightarrow mu^+ N Z_c(3900)^{pm} rightarrow mu^+ N J/psi pi^{pm}$ at COMPASS cite{Adolph:2014hba}. The data cover the range from 7~GeV to 19~GeV in the centre-of-mass energy of the photon-nucleon system. The full COMPASS data set collected with a muon beam between 2002 and 2011 has been used. An upper limit for the ratio $BR(Z_c^{pm}(3900)rightarrow J/psi pi^{pm} )times (sigma_{ gamma~N rightarrow Z_c^{pm}(3900)~ N} /sigma_{ gamma~N rightarrow J/psi~ N})$ of $3.7times10^{-3}$ has been established at the confidence level of 90%.
We report a study of $Bto (J/psi gamma) K$ and $Bto (psi gamma)K$ decay modes using $772times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ events collected at the Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. We observe $X(3872) to J/psi gamma$ and report the first evidence for $chi_{c2} to J/psi gamma$ in $Bto (X_{cbar{c}}gamma) K$ decays, while in a search for $X(3872) to psi gamma$ no significant signal is found. We measure the branching fractions, $mathcal{B}(B^{pm} to X(3872) K^{pm}) mathcal{B}(X(3872) to J/psigamma)$ $=$ $(1.78^{+0.48}_{-0.44}pm 0.12)times 10^{-6}$, $mathcal{B} (B^{pm} tochi_{c2} K^{pm})$$=$ $(1.11^{+0.36}_{-0.34} pm 0.09) times 10^{-5}$, $mathcal{B}(B^{pm} to X(3872) K^{pm}) mathcal{B}(X(3872) to psigamma)$ $<$ $3.45times 10^{-6}$ (upper limit at 90% C.L.) and also provide upper limits for other searches.
