Abstract

We investigate the decay and the production mechanism of the resonance X(1812) recently observed in the \jpγX(1812),X(1812)ωϕ\jp\to\gamma X(1812), X(1812)\to\omega\phi at BESII. The decay widths of X(1812)ηηX(1812)\to\eta\eta',ηη \eta\eta,ωϕ \omega\phi,K+K K^+K^-,ρ+ρ \rho^+\rho^-, ωω \omega\omega,K+K K^{*+}K^{*-} and π+π\pi^+\pi^- are evaluated based on the scenario of the X(1812) as a candidate of (\ksks)(\ksks) molecule. It turns out that the quark exchange mechanism plays an important role in the understanding of the large decay width for the X(1812)ωϕX(1812)\to\omega\phi. It is also found that the decay widths for X(1812)ηηX(1812)\to\eta\eta' and ηη\eta\eta are enhanced by the quark exchange mechanism. These channels are suggested to be the tools to test the molecular scenario in experiment. The branching fraction of Br(Xωϕ)Br(X\to\omega\phi) is evaluated to be about 4.60%. Searches for additional evidence about the X(1812) in \jp\jp radiative decays are reviewed. In the molecular scenario, the X(1812) production rate is also evaluated to be Γ(\jpγX)/Γ(\jpγK+K)=2.131.85+7.41\Gamma(\jp\to\gamma X)/\Gamma(\jp\to\gamma K^{*+}K^{*-})=2.13^{+7.41}_{-1.85}, which is close to the measured value 2.83±0.922.83\pm0.92.
