Probing the long-range structure of the $T_{cc}^+$ with the strong and electromagnetic decays
Abstract
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the doubly charmed tetraquark state below the threshold about keV. As a very near-threshold state, its long-distance structure is very important. In the molecular scheme, we relate the coupling constants of with and to its binding energy and mixing angle of two components with a coupled-channel effective field theory. With the coupling constants, we investigate the kinetically allowed strong decays , and radiative decays . Our results show that the decay width of is the largest one, which is just the experimental observation channel. Our theoretical total strong and radiative widths are in favor of the as a dominated bound state. The total strong and radiative width in the single channel limit and isospin singlet limit are given as and , respectively. Our calculation is cutoff-independent and without prior isospin assignment. The absolute partial widths and ratios of the different decay channels can be used to test the structure of state when the updated experimental results are available.
