Abstract

The experimental evidence for the exotic meson, X(3872), is summarized and the various proposed theoretical models for it are reviewed. It is pointed out that several important experimental measurements have marginal statistical significance and disagreements between different sources. Until these problems are resolved, the understanding of the structure of X(3872) is likely to remain controversial.
