For this purpose, we first introduce a numerical scheme to find the solutions of the diabatic Schrodinger equation for energies in the continuum, then we derive a general formula for calculating the meson-meson scattering amplitudes from these solutions. We thus obtain a completely nonperturbative procedure for the calculation of open-flavor meson-meson scattering cross sections from the diabatic potential, which is directly connected to lattice QCD calculations. A comprehensive analysis of various elastic cross sections for open-charm and open-bottom meson-meson pairs is performed in a wide range of the center-of-mass energies. The relevant structures are identified, showing a spectrum of quasiconventional and unconventional quarkoniumlike states. In addition to the customary Breit-Wigner peaks, we obtain nontrivial structures such as threshold cusps and minimums. Finally, our results are compared with existing data and with results from our previous bound-state-based analysis, finding full compatibility with both.", optnote="WOS:000753716600003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5120), last updated on Mon, 21 Feb 2022 13:27:58 +0000", issn="2470-0010", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.104.074025", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.05459", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.104.074025", language="English" }
