We study the radiative decay $\rho^{0}\to\pi^{0}\pi^{0}\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\sigma$-meson and $\omega$-meson intermediate states and of the pion-loops are considered. We…
Using a sample of $58\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESII detector, radiative decays $J/\psi\to\gamma\gamma V$, where $V=\rho$ or $\phi$, are studied. A resonance around 1420 MeV/c$^2$ (X(1424)) is observed in the…
We study the rho^0 and phi decays into pi^+ pi^- gamma, pi^0 pi^0 gamma and phi into pi^0 eta gamma using a chiral unitary approach to deal with the final state interaction of the M M system. The final state interaction modifies only…
Motivated by the experimental measurements of $D^0$ radiative decay modes we have proposed a model to study the $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}\gamma$ decay, by establishing a link with $D^0\to \bar{K}^{*0}V$ $(V=\rho^0,\, \omega)$ decays through the…
Using $(10087\pm 44)\times10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the electromagnetic radiative decays of the $\Lambda(1520)$ and $\Lambda(1670)$ to $\gamma\Sigma^0$, with a statistical…
In the SND experiment at VEPP-2M e^+e^- collider the phi(1020) ---> eta+gamma ---> 3pi^0+gamma decay was studied. The branching ratio B(phi--->eta+gamma) = (1.246 +- 0.025 +- 0.057)% was measured.
Existing predictions for the branching ratio for $\phi\rightarrow K\bar{K}\gamma$ {\it via} $\phi\rightarrow S\gamma$ (where $S$ denotes one of the scalar mesons $f_0$(975) and $a_0$(980)) vary by several orders of magnitude. Given the…
The light cone QCD sum rules method is used to calculate the transition form factor for the radiative (phi -> f_0 gamma) decay, assuming that the quark content of the (f_0) meson is pure (bar{s}s) state. The branching ratio is estimated to…
We study the radiative $\rho$, $\omega$ and $\phi$ decay into $\pi^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ and $\pi^0 \eta \gamma $ taking into account mechanisms in which there are two sequential vector-vector-pseudoscalar or axial-vector--vector--pseudoscalar…
Partial widths of the radiative decays $\phi(1020)\to\gamma f_0(980)$, $\gamma\eta$, $\gamma\eta'$, $\gamma\pi^0$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ are calculated assuming all mesons under consideration to be $q\bar q$ states: $\phi(1020)$ is…
We show that $\phi$ radiative decays into scalar mesons [$f_0$(975), $a_0$(980)$\equiv S$] can provide important clues on the internal structures of these mesons. Radiative decay widths vary widely: $B.R.=10^{-4}-10^{-6}$ depending on the…
We calculate the branching ratios of $B_{s,d}\to \gamma \gamma$ decay in the sequential fourth generation model. We find that the theoretical values of the branching ratios, ${\rm BR}(B_{s}\to\gamma\gamma)$, including the contributions of…
The double radiative decays $\psi\to\gamma\gamma V$ with $V\equiv \rho,\omega,\phi$ have a potential to provide information on the flavor content of any meson resonances (R) with positive charge parity ($C=+$) and mass above 1 GeV through…
A new evaluation of the charged Higgs boson decay $H^+ -> W^+\gamma$ is presented in the context of the general two-Higgs doublet model. A nonlinear $R_\xi$-gauge which considerably simplifies the calculation is introduced and simple…
Based on previous studies that support the vector-vector molecular structure of the $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $\bar{K}^{*\,0}_2(1430)$, $f_0(1370)$ and $f_0(1710)$ resonances, we make predictions for $\psi (2S)$ decay into $\omega(\phi)…
Using the result of the VES Collaboration for $Br(J/\psi\to\gamma f_0(1710))$, we estimate the absolute branching fractions for the $f_0(1710)$ decays into $\pi\pi$, $K\bar K$, $\eta\eta$, $\omega\omega$, and $\omega\phi$. In addition, we…
We estimate the rates for radiative transitions of the lightest scalar mesons f_0(980) and a_0(980) to the vector mesons rho and omega. We argue that measurements of the radiative decays of those scalar mesons can provide important new…
