Abstract

The spin-singlet state ηc2(1D2)\eta_{c2}(^1D_2) has not been discovered in experiment and it is the only missing low-excited DD-wave charmonium, so in this paper, we like to study its properties. Using the Bethe-Salpeter equation method, we obtain its mass as 3828.23828.2 MeV and its electromagnetic decay widths as Γ[ηc2(1D)hc(1P)γ]=284\Gamma[\eta_{c2}(1D)\rightarrow h_{c}(1P)\gamma]=284 keV, Γ[ηc2(1D)J/ψγ]=1.04\Gamma[\eta_{c2}(1D)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma]=1.04 keV, Γ[ηc2(1D)ψ(2S)γ]=3.08\Gamma[\eta_{c2}(1D)\rightarrow\psi(2S)\gamma]=3.08 eV, and Γ[ηc2(1D)ψ(3770)γ]=0.143\Gamma[\eta_{c2}(1D)\rightarrow\psi(3770)\gamma]=0.143 keV. {Considering the strong decay widths are estimated to be Γ(ηc2(1D)ηcππ)=144 keV\Gamma(\eta_{c2}(1D)\to\eta_c \pi\pi)=144~\rm{keV} and Γ(ηc2(1D)gg)=46.1 keV\Gamma(\eta_{c2}(1D)\to gg)= 46.1~\rm{keV}, we obtain the total decay width of 475475 keV for ηc2(1D)\eta_{c2}(1D), and point out that the full width is very sensitive to the mass Mηc2M_{\eta_{c2}}.} In our calculation, the emphasis is put on the relativistic corrections. Our results show that ηc2hcγ\eta_{c2}\rightarrow h_{c}\gamma is the nonrelativistic E1E1 transition dominated E1+M2+E3E1+M2+E3 decay, and ηc2ψγ\eta_{c2}\rightarrow \psi\gamma is the M1+E2+M3+E4M1+E2+M3+E4 decay but the relativistic E2E2 transition contributes the most.
