Determination of the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate using radiative heavy meson decays

Abstract

We use a light-cone sum rule (LCSR) analysis of the branching ratios of radiative meson decays to contrain the value of the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate $\chi (\mu )$. For the first time, we use a complete set of three-particle distribution amplitudes that enables us to give a consistent prediction for the branching ratios. Furthermore we will make use of a very recent update of several non-perturbative parameters. Our final result for $\chi (\mu =1\mathrm{GeV})=2.85\pm 0.5{\mathrm{GeV}}^{-2}$ (assuming asymptotic wave functions) agrees with the currently used value of $3.15\pm 0.3{\mathrm{GeV}}^{-2}$.
