Abstract

Inspired by the recent observation of e+eωX(3872)e^+e^-\to \omega X(3872) by the BESIII Collaboration, in this work we study the production of the charmonium χcJ(2P)\chi_{cJ}(2P) by e+ee^+e^- annihilation. We find that the e+eωχc0(2P)e^+e^-\to\omega\chi_{c0}(2P) and e+eωχc2(2P)e^+e^-\to \omega\chi_{c2}(2P) have sizable production rates, when taking the cross section data from e+eωX(3872)e^+e^-\to \omega X(3872) as the scaling point and treating the X(3872)X(3872) as the charmonium χc1(2P)\chi_{c1}(2P). Considering that the dominant decay modes of χc0\chi_{c0} and χc2(2P)\chi_{c2}(2P) involve DDˉD\bar{D} final states, we propose that e+eωDDˉe^+e^-\to \omega D\bar{D} is an ideal process to identify χc0(2P)\chi_{c0}(2P) and χc2(2P)\chi_{c2}(2P), which is similar to the situation that happens in the DDˉD\bar{D} invariant mass spectrum of the γγDDˉ\gamma\gamma\to D\bar{D} and B+D+DK+B^+\to D^+{D}^- K^+ processes. With continuous accumulation of experimental data, these proposed production processes offer a promising avenue for exploration by the BESIII and Belle II collaborations.
