Two-Body Strong Decay of the 2P and 3P Charmonium states

Abstract

Two-body open charm strong decays of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are studied by the Bethe-Salpeter(BS) method combined with the ${}^3{P}_0$ model. The wave functions and mass spectra of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are obtained by solving the BS equation with the relativistic correction. The strong decay widths and relative ratios of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states are calculated. Comparing our results with the experimental data, we obtain some interesting results. Considering the $X^{\ast }(3860)$ as the ${\chi }_{c0}(2P)$, the total strong decay width is smaller than the experimental data. But the strong decay width depends on the parameter $\gamma$ in the ${}^3{P}_0$ model, and the mass and width of the $X^{\ast }(3860)$ have large errors, we cannot rule out the possibility that the $X^{\ast }(3860)$ is the ${\chi }_{c0}(2P)$. The $X(4160)$ is a good candidate for the ${\chi }_{c0}(3P)$, not only the strong decay width of the ${\chi }_{c0}(3P)$ is same as the experimental data, but the relative ratios $\frac{\Gamma ({\chi }_{c0}(3P)\to D\bar{D})}{\Gamma ({\chi }_{c0}(3P)\to D^{\ast }{\bar{D}}^{\ast })}\approx 0.0019<0.09$, and $\frac{\Gamma ({\chi }_{c0}(3P)\to D{\bar{D}}^{\ast })}{\Gamma ({\chi }_{c0}(3P)\to D^{\ast }{\bar{D}}^{\ast })}=0<0.22$ are consistent with the experimental results of the $X(4160)$. Taking the $X(4274)$ as the ${\chi }_{c1}(3P)$, the strong decay width is consistent with the experimental data, so the $X(4274)$ is a good candidate for the ${\chi }_{c1}(3P)$. Assigning the $X(4350)$ as the ${\chi }_{c2}(3P)$, the corresponding strong decay width is slightly larger than the experimental data. To identify if the $X(4350)$ is ${\chi }_{c2}(3P)$, many more investigations are needed. All of the strong decay widths and relative ratios of the $2P$ and $3P$ charmonium states can provide the useful information to discover and confirm these particles in the future.
