Abstract

We investigate the decays of χc0,2\chi_{c0,2} into vector meson pairs (VVVV), pseudoscalar pairs (PPPP), and scalar pairs (SSSS) in a general factorization scheme. The purpose is to clarify the role played by the OZI-rule violations and SU(3) flavour breakings in the decay transitions, and their correlations with the final state meson wavefunctions. For χc0,2VV\chi_{c0,2}\to VV and PPPP, we obtain an overall self-contained description of the experimental data. Applying this factorization to χc0f0if0j\chi_{c0}\to f_0^i f_0^j, where i,j=1,2,3i, j=1, 2, 3 denotes f0(1710)f_0(1710), f0(1500)f_0(1500) and f0(1370)f_0(1370), respectively, we find that specific patterns will arise from the model predictions for the decay branching ratio magnitudes, and useful information about the structure of those three scalars can be abstracted.
