Hadronic loop effects on the radiative decays of the first radial excitations of and
arXiv:2106.12483
Abstract
Based on the one state assumption of and , thus, and are organized as the first radial excitations of and , respectively, we investigate the productions and radiative decays of these two states in , where stands for and and for vector mesons . As we have learned from previous studies that the hadronic decays of these two states receive important contributions from the intermediate meson loops due to the triangle singularity mechanism, we show that some measurable effects can also arise from the meson loops in their radiative decays. Our calculation shows that the impact of the meson loops on the radiative decays is relatively smaller than on since the latter has a much larger coupling to However, the production of in the radiative decays will be strongly suppressed. As a consequence of the meson loop contributions, we find that the mixing angle extracted in the radiative decays of and will be different from each other, and both are different from the one determined in other processes.
