Reexamining radiative decays of $1^{--}$ quarkonium into ${\eta }^{\prime }$ and $\eta$

Abstract

Recently CLEO has studied the radiative decay of ${\rm Y}$ into ${\eta }^{\prime }$ and an upper limit for the decay has been determined. Confronting with this upper limit,most of theoretical predictions for the decay fails. After briefly reviewing these predictions we re-examine the decay by separating nonperturbative effect related to the quarkonium and that related to ${\eta }^{\prime }$ or $\eta$, in which the later is parameterized by distribution amplitudes of gluons in ${\eta }^{\prime }$. With this factorization approach we obtain theoretical predictions which are in agreement with experiment. Uncertainties in our predictions are discussed. The possibly largest uncertainties are from relativistic corrections for $J/\Psi$ and the value of the charm quark mass. We argue that the effect of these uncertainties can be reduced by using quarkonium masses instead of using quark masses. An example of the reduction is shown with an attempt to explain the violation of the famous 14% rule in radiative decays of charmonia.
