Annihilation Rates of Heavy 1−−1^{--} S-wave Quarkonia in Salpeter Method

The annihilation rates of vector $1^{--}$ charmonium and bottomonium $^3S_1$ states $V \rightarrow e^+e^-$ and $V\rightarrow 3\gamma$, $V \rightarrow \gamma gg$ and $V \rightarrow 3g$ are estimated in the relativistic Salpeter method. We obtained $\Gamma(J/\psi\rightarrow 3\gamma)=6.8\times 10^{-4}$ keV, $\Gamma(\psi(2S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=2.5\times 10^{-4}$ keV, $\Gamma(\psi(3S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=1.7\times 10^{-4}$ keV, $\Gamma(\Upsilon(1S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=1.5\times 10^{-5}$ keV, $\Gamma(\Upsilon(2S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=5.7\times 10^{-6}$ keV, $\Gamma(\Upsilon(3S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=3.5\times 10^{-6}$ keV and $\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S)\rightarrow 3\gamma)=2.6\times 10^{-6}$ keV. In our calculations, special attention is paid to the relativistic correction, which is important and can not be ignored for excited $2S$, $3S$ and higher excited states.Comment: 10 pages,2 figures, 5 table

The rare semi-leptonic BcB_c decays involving orbitally excited final mesons

The rare processes $B_c\to D_{(s)J} ^{(*)}\mu\bar{\mu}$, where $D_{(s)J}^{(*)}$ stands for the final meson $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460,2536)$,~$D_{s2}^*(2573)$, $D_0^*(2400)$, $D_{1}(2420,2430)$ or~$D_{2}^*(2460)$, are studied within the Standard Model. The hadronic matrix elements are evaluated in the Bethe-Salpeter approach and furthermore a discussion on the gauge-invariant condition of the annihilation hadronic currents is presented. Considering the penguin, box, annihilation, color-favored cascade and color-suppressed cascade contributions, the observables $\text{d}Br/\text{d}Q^2$, $A_{LPL}$, $A_{FB}$ and $P_L$ are calculated

Two-Body Strong Decay of Z(3930) as the χc2(2P)\chi_{c2} (2P) State

The new particle Z(3930) found by the Belle and BaBar Collaborations through the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow D\bar D$ process is identified to be the $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ state. Since the mass of this particle is above the $D\bar D^{(\ast)}$ threshold, the OZI-allowed two-body strong decays are the main decay modes. In this paper, these strong decay modes are studied with two methods. One is the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter method within Mandelstam formalism. The other is the combination of the $^3P_0$ model and the former formalism. The total decay widths are 26.3 and 27.3 MeV for the methods with or without the $^3P_0$ vertex, respectively. The ratio of $\Gamma_{D\bar D}$ over $\Gamma_{D\bar D^\ast}$ which changes along with the mass of the initial meson is also presented.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
