Dipion transitions from $X(3872)$ to $\chi_{cJ}\ (J=0,1,2)$
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the dipion transition processes within the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory, treating as a molecular state composed of + H.c. components. By analyzing the box and triangle loop diagrams with the nonrelativistic effective field theory power-counting rule, we demonstrate that box diagrams dominate these dipion transition processes. Branching ratios are calculated as functions of the mixing angle , which parametrizes the neutral and charged meson compositions of the . Our results indicate that the branching fractions for , , and are of the orders of , , and , respectively. We also predict the ratios and . The latter deviates from isospin-symmetry expectations, revealing various degrees of isospin violation. By studying the and invariant mass spectra, we find a double-bump structure in the invariant mass distributions of the process and invariant mass distribution of the process , which could be tested by future experimental measurements.
