Study the decays of ${\chi }_{cJ}(J=0,1,2)$ to light meson pairs with SU(3) flavor symmetry/breaking analysis

Abstract

Based on available experimental results on ${\chi }_{cJ}(J=0,1,2)$ decays, we investigate the ${\chi }_{cJ}\to PP$, $VV$, $PV$, and $PT$ decays by using SU(3) flavor symmetry/breaking approach, where $P$, $V$, and $T$ denote light pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor mesons, respectively. With the decay amplitude relations determined by SU(3) flavor symmetry/breaking, we present the branching ratios for all ${\chi }_{cJ}\to PP$ and ${\chi }_{cJ}\to VV$ modes, including ones without experimental data. While theoretical considerations strongly suppress or even forbid most ${\chi }_{cJ}\to PV$ and $PT$ decays, we also provide quantitative predictions constrained by existing experimental data. Our results are expected to be accessible in future experiments at BESIII and the planned Super Tau-Charm Facility.
