Abstract

We present a renormalization-group analysis of the X(3872)X(3872) radiative decays into J/ψγJ/ \psi \gamma and ψ(2S)γ\psi(2S) \gamma. We assume a DDˉD\bar{D}^{*} molecule for the XX long-distance structure and parametrize its short-distance physics as contact interactions. Using effective field theory techniques and power-divergence subtraction scheme, we find that short- and long-distance physics are equally important in these decays. Our calculations set a lower limit to the corresponding decay widths, which can in principle be tested experimentally. Our results may be used as guide to build models for the XX short-distance.
