Abstract

Bχc1(1P,2P)KB\to\chi_{c1}(1P,2P)K decays are studied in QCD factorization by treating charmonia as nonrelativistic bound states. No infrared divergences exist in the vertex corrections, while the logarithmic end-point singularities in the hard spectator corrections can be regularized by a momentum cutoff. With certain uncertainties we find that the Bχc1(2P)KB\to\chi_{c1}(2P)K decay rate can be comparable to Bχc1(1P)KB\to\chi_{c1}(1P)K, and get Br(B0χc1K0)=Br(B+χc1K+)2×104Br(B^0 \to \chi_{c1}' K^0) =Br(B^+ \to \chi_{c1}' K^+)\approx 2\times 10^{-4}. This might imply a possible interpretation for the newly discovered X(3872) that this state has a dominant JPC=1++(2P)J^{PC} = 1^{++}(2P) ccˉc\bar c component but mixed with a substantial D0Dˉ0+D0Dˉ0D^0\bar{D}^{*0}+D^{*0}\bar{D}^0 continuum component.
