Charmonium states in a coupled-channel model
Abstract
We systematically investigate the mass spectrum and two-body open-charm strong decays of charmonium states in a coupled-channel model where the quark-antiquark pair creation mechanism is employed. The results of masses, mass shifts, proportions of the component, and open-charm decay widths are provided. The - wave mixing angles and di-electric decay widths for vector mesons are also presented. Based on our results, we find that the , , , , and can be assigned as the -, -, -, -, and -dominated charmonium states, respectively. The is a good candidate of the charmonium state. The calculated mass and strong decay width of with significant continuum contribution (57\%) favor the charmonium interpretation for the mysterious . When considering the large uncertainty in the observed decay width, the possibility to assign the as the charmonium state cannot be ruled out. One may describe well the properties of with the charmonium. The predictions on properties of other states can be tested by future experiments.
