The charmonium-like state X(3872) was discovered by Belle (PRL 91(2003)262001) and has recently been discussed as a possible D⁰ D^*0 S-wave bound molecular state. As the X(3872) has a tentative quantum number assignment of J^P=1⁺, direct formation is not possible in e⁺ e⁻ collisions, but in p p collisions at PANDA. The poster shows results of MC simulations using the PandaRoot framework for the investigation of X(3872) decays via the channel X(3872)→ J/Ψ π⁺ π⁻. In the framework of the MC simulations a resonance scan using the cooled p-beam with a momentum resolution Δ p/p = 4· 10⁻⁵ was performed. Background was simulated using the dual parton model. The effect of final state radiation was considered. Results using GEANT3 and GEANT4 for particle transport are compared.
