Published: July 2015

By using a combined amplitude analysis of the γγ→DD̅ and γγ→J/ψω data, we demonstrate that the X(3915), which is quoted as a J(PC)=0(++) state in the Particle Data Group table, is favored by the data to be a J(PC)=2(++) state appearing in both channels, which means that the X(3915) and the X(3930) can be regarded as the same J(PC)=2(++) state. Meanwhile, the data also prefer a large helicity-0 contribution of this tensor resonance to the amplitudes instead of the helicity-2 dominance assumed by BABAR, which may indicate a sizable portion of non-qq̅ components in this state. Identifying the X(3915) with the X(3930) and abandoning the helicity-2 dominance for this tensor state are helpful for the further understandings of the properties of this state and also of the mysterious "XYZ" charmoniumlike resonances.
