Long-distant contribution and $χ_{c1}$ radiative decays to light vector meson

Abstract

The discrepancy between the PQCD calculation and the CLEO data for $χ_{c1}\to γV$ ($V=ρ^0,\,ω,\,ϕ$) stimulates our interest in exploring extra mechanism of $χ_{c1}$ decay. In this work, we apply an important non-perturbative QCD effect, i.e., hadronic loop mechanism, to study $χ_{c1}\to γV$ radiative decay. Our numerical result shows that the theoretical results including the hadronic loop contribution and the PQCD calculation of $χ_{c1}\to γV$ are consistent with the corresponding CLEO data of $χ_{c1}\to γV$. We expect further experimental measurement of $χ_{c1}\to γV$ at BES-III, which will be helpful to test the hadronic loop effect on $χ_{c1}$ decay.
