Abstract

Radiative E1 decay widths of X(3872)\rm X(3872) are calculated through the relativistic Salpeter method, with the assumption that X(3872)\rm X(3872) is the χc1\chi_{c1}(2P) state, which is the radial excited state of χc1\chi_{c1}(1P). We firstly calculated the E1 decay width of χc1\chi_{c1}(1P), the result is in agreement with experimental data excellently, then we calculated the case of X(3872)\rm X(3872) with the assignment that it is χc1\chi_{c1}(2P). Results are: Γ(X(3872)γ\slJ/ψ)=33.0{\Gamma}({\rm X(3872)}\rightarrow \gamma \sl J/\psi)=33.0 keV, Γ(X(3872)γψ(2S))=146{\Gamma}({\rm X(3872)}\rightarrow \gamma \psi(2S))=146 keV and Γ(X(3872)γψ(3770))=7.09{\Gamma}({\rm X(3872)}\rightarrow \gamma \psi(3770))=7.09 keV. The ratio Br(X(3872)γψ(2S))/Br(X(3872)γ\slJ/ψ)=4.4{{\rm Br(X(3872)}\rightarrow\gamma\psi(2{\rm S}))}/{{\rm Br(X(3872)}\rightarrow \gamma {\sl J}/\psi)}=4.4 agrees with experimental data by BaBar, but larger than the new up-bound reported by Belle recently. With the same method, we also predict the decay widths: Γ(χb1(1P))γΥ(1S))=30.0{\Gamma}(\chi_{b1}(1\rm P))\rightarrow \gamma \Upsilon(1\rm S))=30.0 keV, Γ(χb1(2P))γΥ(1S))=5.65{\Gamma}(\chi_{b1}(2\rm P))\rightarrow \gamma \Upsilon(1\rm S))=5.65 keV and Γ(χb1(2P))γΥ(2S))=15.8{\Gamma}(\chi_{b1}(2\rm P))\rightarrow \gamma \Upsilon(2S))=15.8 keV, and the full widths: Γ(χb1(1P))85.7{\Gamma}(\chi_{b1}(1\rm P))\sim 85.7 keV, Γ(χb1(2P))66.5{\Gamma}(\chi_{b1}(2\rm P))\sim 66.5 keV.
