Abstract

We use QCD sum rules to calculate the width of the radiative decay of the meson X(3872), assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular [cqˉ][qcˉ][c\bar{q}][q\bar{c}] states with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++}. We find that in a small range for the values of the mixing angle, 50θ1305^0\leq\theta\leq13^0, we get the branching ratio Γ(XJ/ψγ)/Γ(XJ/ψπ+π)=0.19±0.13\Gamma(X\to J/\psi\gamma)/\Gamma(X\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-)=0.19\pm0.13, which is in agreement, with the experimental value. This result is compatible with the analysis of the mass and decay width of the mode J/ψ(nπ)J/\psi(n\pi) performed in the same approach.
