We have studied the dominant radiative transitions of the charmonium $S$- and $P$-wave states within the CCQM. The gauge invariant leading-order transition amplitudes have been expressed by using either the conventional Lorentz structures, or the helicity amplitudes, where it was effective. The renormalization couplings of the charmonium states have been strictly fixed by the compositeness conditions that excludes the constituent degrees of freedom from the space of physical states. We use the basic model parameters for the constituent c-quark mass $m_c=1.80$ GeV and the global infrared cutoff $lambda=0.181$ GeV. We additionally introduce only one adjustable parameter $varrho>0$ common for the the charmonium states $eta_c({}^1!S_0)$, $J/psi({}^3!S_1)$, $chi_{c0}({^{3}}!P_{0})$, $chi_{c1}({^{3}}!P_{1})$, $h_c({^{1}}!P_{1})$, and $chi_{c2}({^{3}}!P_{2})$ to describe the quark distribution inside the hadron. This parameter describes the ratio between the charmonium size and its physical mass. The optimal value $varrho=0.485$ has been fixed by fitting the latest data for the partial widths of the one-photon radiative decays of the triplet $chi_{cJ}({^{3}}!P_{J}),~J={0,1,2}$. Then, we calculate corresponding fractional widths for states $J/psi({}^3!S_1)$ and $h_c({^{1}}!P_{1})$. Estimated results are in good agreement with the latest data. By using the fraction data from PDG2020 and our estimated partial decay width for $h_c({^{1}}!P_{1})$ we recalculate the theoretical full width $Gamma^{rm theor}_{h_c} simeq ( 0.57 pm 0.12 )$ MeV in comparison with latest data $Gamma^{rm exp}_{h_c} simeq (0.7pm 0.4)$ MeV. We also repeated our calculations by gradually decreasing the global cutoff parameter and revealed that the results do not change for any $lambda<0.181$ GeV up to the deconfinement limit.
The form factors for the radiative transitions between charmonium mesons are investigated. We employ an anisotropic lattice using a Wilson gauge action, and domain-wall fermion action. We extrapolate the form factors to $Q^2 = 0$, corresponding to a real photon, using quark-model-inspired functions. Finally, comparison is made with photocouplings extracted from the measured radiative widths, where known. Our preliminary results find photocouplings commensurate with these experimentally extracted values.
In this article, we study the rare decays corresponding to $b to d$ transition in the framework of covariant confined quark model. The transition form factors for the channels $B^{+(0)} to (pi^{+(0)}, rho^{+(0)},omega)$ and $B_s^0 to K^{(*)0}$ are computed in the entire dynamical range of momentum transfer squared. Using the form factors, we compute the branching fractions of the rare decays and our results are found to be matching well with the experimental data. We also compute the ratios of the branching fractions of the $b to s$ to $b to d$ rare decays using the inputs from previous papers on this model. Further, using the form factors, model dependent and independent parameters, we also compute different other physical observables such as forward backward asymmetry, longitudinal polarization and angular observables in the entire $q^2$ range as well as in $q^2$ bins [0.1 -- 0.98] GeV$^2$ and [1.1 -- 6] GeV$^2$. We also compare our findings with different theoretical predictions.
We investigate the mass spectrum and electromagnetic processes of charmonium system with the nonperturbative treatment for the spin-dependent potentials, comparing the pure scalar and scalar-vector mixing linear confining potentials. It is revealed that the scalar-vector mixing confinement would be important for reproducing the mass spectrum and decay widths, and therein the vector component is predicted to be around 22%. With the state wave functions obtained via the full-potential Hamiltonian, the long-standing discrepancy in M1 radiative transitions of $J/psi$ and $psi^{prime}$ are alleviated spontaneously. This work also intends to provide an inspection and suggestion for the possible $cbar{c}$ among the copious higher charmonium-like states. Particularly, the newly observed X(4160) and X(4350) are found in the charmonium family mass spectrum as $M(2^1D_2)= 4164.9$ MeV and $M(3^3P_2)= 4352.4$ MeV, which strongly favor the $J^{PC}=2^{-+}, 2^{++}$ assignments respectively. The corresponding radiative transitions, leptonic and two-photon decay widths have been also predicted theoretically for the further experimental search.
Using the dynamical diquark model, we calculate the electric-dipole radiative decay widths to $X(3872)$ of the lightest negative-parity exotic candidates, including the four $I=0$, $J^{PC} ! = ! 1^{--}$ ($Y$) states. The $O$(100--1000 keV) values obtained test the hypothesis of a common substructure shared by all of these states. We also calculate the magnetic-dipole radiative decay width for $Z_c(4020)^0 ! to ! gamma X(3872)$, and find it to be rather smaller ($<$~10 keV) than its predicted value in molecular models.
Recently, the BESIII collaboration has reported numerous measurements of various $D_{(s)}$ meson semileptonic decays with significantly improved precision. Together with similar studies carried out at BABAR, Belle, and CLEO, new windows to a better understanding of weak and strong interactions in the charm sector have been opened. In light of new experimental data, we review the theoretical description and predictions for the semileptonic decays of $D_{(s)}$ to a pseudoscalar or a vector meson. This review is essentially an extended discussion of our recently published results obtained in the framework of the covariant confining quark model.
