${\eta }_c$ Elastic and Transition Form Factors: Contact Interaction and Algebraic Model

Abstract

For the flavor-singlet heavy quark system of charmonia in the pseudoscalar (${\eta }_c(1S)$) channel, we calculate the elastic (EFF) and transition form factors (TFF) (${\eta }_c(1S)\to \gamma {\gamma }^{\ast }$) for a wide range of photon momentum transfer squared ($Q^2$). The framework for this analysis is provided by a symmetry-preserving Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) treatment of a vector$\times$vector contact interaction (CI). We also employ an algebraic model (AM), developed earlier to describe the light quark systems. It correctly correlates infrared and ultraviolet dynamics of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The CI results agree with the lattice data for low $Q^2$. For $Q^2⩾Q_0^2$, the results start deviating from the lattice results by more than $20\%$. $Q_0^2\approx 2.5{\mathrm{GeV}}^2$ for the EFF and $\approx 25{\mathrm{GeV}}^2$ for the TFF. We also present the results for the EFF, TFF as well as ${\eta }_c(1S)$ parton distribution amplitude for the AM. Wherever the comparison is possible, these results are in excellent agreement with the lattice, perturbative QCD, the results obtained through an SDE-BSE study, employing refined truncations, as well as the experimental findings of the BABAR experiment.
