${\chi }_{cJ}\to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ decays revisited

Abstract

We present a calculation of the width for ${\chi }_{cJ}\to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ decay. The amplitude of the process is computed within the NRQCD framework. The leading-order contribution is described by two terms associated with the two different integration domains in the electromagnetic loop describing two-photon annihilation of the heavy quark-antiquark pair. The corresponding operators are defined in the framework of NRQCD. The matrix element of one of these operators describes a configuration with an ultrasoft photon and can be associated with the higher Fock state of the heavy meson. In order to compute this contribution we use the heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. We obtain that this contribution is numerically dominant. The obtained estimates for the decay widths of the ${\chi }_{c1}$ and ${\chi }_{c2}$ states are $0.09$ eV and $0.06$ eV, respectively.

revised version, couple mistakes in analytical expressions are fixed, numerical results for chi_{c2} are slightly modified
