Abstract

The Belle collaboration recently reported a promising candidate for the spin-2 DDˉD^*\bar{D}^* partner of the X(3872)X(3872), called the X2X_2 for short, having a mass of (4014.3±4.0±1.5) MeV(4014.3 \pm 4.0 \pm 1.5)~\mathrm{MeV} and a width of (4±11±6) MeV(4 \pm 11 \pm 6)~\mathrm{MeV} . Assuming the X2X_2 as a pure molecule of the DDˉD^*\bar{D}^*, we calculated in detail the hidden charmonium decays of the X2J/ψVX_2 \to J/\psi V and X2ηcPX_2\to\eta_cP via the intermediate meson loops, where V=ρ0,ωV = \rho^0\,,\omega and P=π0,η,ηP= \pi^0\,,\eta\,,\eta'. The results indicate that the decay widths are strongly dependent on the X2X_2 mass. At present center value of the mass 4014.3 MeV4014.3~\mathrm{MeV}, the width for the X2J/ψρ0X_2\to J/\psi\rho^0 is predicted to be a few tens of keV, while it is on the order of 102-3 keV10^{2\text{-}3}~\mathrm{keV} for the X2J/ψωX_2\to J/ \psi\omega; the predicted width for the X2ηcπ0X_2\to \eta_c \pi^0 is about a few keV, while the widths for X2ηcηX_2\to\eta_c\eta and ηcη\eta_c\eta' are around a few tens and tenths of keV, respectively. We also investigated the dependence of the ratios between these widths on the X2X_2 mass and on the η\eta-η\eta' mixing angle, which may be good quantities for experiments. We hope that the present calculations would be checked experimentally in the future.
