Model-independent Study on Magnetic Dipole Transition in Heavy Quarkonium

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v2

Abstract

Some new results on magnetic dipole (M1) transitions in heavy quarkonium from nonrelativistic effective field theories of QCD are briefly reported. This model-independent approach not only facilitates a systematic and lucid way to investigate the relativistic corrections, it also clarifies some inconsistent treatment in previous potential model approach. The impact of our formalism on J/Psi -> eta_c gamma, Upsilon(Upsilon') -> eta_b gamma and h_c -> chi_{c0} gamma are discussed.
