Light hadronic decays of spin-0 partner of $X(3872)$
Abstract
The is theoretically predicted to have a spin-0 partner state denoted as . Assuming the as a molecular bound state, we calculate the decay widths of and ( and stand for light vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively) via intermediate charmed meson loops. Three different configurations of the , i.e., pure neutral components (), isospin singlet () and pure charged components (), are investigated. Within a commonly accepted range of the model parameter , the predicted decay widths of are on the order of a few hundred , while the decay widths of can reach several . The and have larger decay rates. The relative width ratios between the channels are nearly model-independent. Moreover, among those channels only with isovector or isoscalar mesons, the relevant ratios are also independent of the phase angle. The predicted ratios are helpful for searching the in the future experiments at BESIII and Belle II.
