Abstract

With the assumption that the recently observed X(1835) is a baryonium state we have studied the strong decays of X(1835)η()π+π,η()π0π0X(1835) \to \eta^{(\prime)} \pi^+ \pi^-, \eta^{(\prime)} \pi^0 \pi^0 and the electromagnetic decay of X(1835)2γX(1835) \to 2\gamma in the framework of effective Lagrangian formalism. In the present investigation we have included the contributions from the iso-singlet light scalar resonances but we have not included the isospin violating effect. Our result for the strong decay of X(1835)ηπ+πX(1835) \to \eta^{\prime} \pi^+ \pi^- is smaller than the observed data. The decay width for the radiative decay of X(1835)2γX(1835) \to 2\gamma is consistent with the assumption that it decays through the glueball. In addition, the width for the strong decay of X(1835)ηπ+πX(1835) \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^- is larger than that of the strong decay of X(1835)ηπ+πX(1835) \to \eta^{\prime} \pi^+ \pi^- due to the large phase space and coupling constant gNNˉηg_{N\bar{N}\eta}. From our investigation, it is not possible to interpret X(1835) as a baryonium.
