The decay of the X(3872) into χ_{cJ} and the Operator Product Expansion in XEFT

Abstract

XEFT is a low energy effective theory for the X(3872) that can be used to systematically analyze the decay and production of the X(3872) meson, assuming that it is a weakly bound state of charmed mesons. In a previous paper, we calculated the decays of X(3872) into χ_{cJ} plus pions using a two-step procedure in which Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory (HH\chiPT) amplitudes are matched onto XEFT operators and then X(3872) decay rates are then calculated using these operators. The procedure leads to IR divergences in the three-body decay X(3872) \to χ_{cJ} ππwhen virtual D mesons can go on-shell in tree level HH\chiPT diagrams. In previous work, we regulated these IR divergences with the $D^{\ast 0}$ width. In this work, we carefully analyze X(3872) \to χ_{cJ} π^0 and X(3872) \to χ_{cJ} ππusing the operator product expansion (OPE) in XEFT. Forward scattering amplitudes in HH\chiPT are matched onto local operators in XEFT, the imaginary parts of which are responsible for the decay of the X(3872). Here we show that the IR divergences are regulated by the binding momentum of the X(3872) rather than the width of the D^{*0} meson. In the OPE, these IR divergences cancel in the calculation of the matching coefficients so the correct predictions for the X(3872) \to χ_{c1} ππdo not receive enhancements due to the width of the D^{*0}. We give updated predictions for the decay X(3872) \to χ_{c1} ππat leading order in XEFT.
