Abstract Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization, we calculate the next-to-leading-order (NLO) perturbative corrections to the radiative decay Υ → ηc(χcJ) + γ. Both the helicity amplitudes and the helicity decay widths are obtained. It is the first computation for the processes involving both bottomonium and charmonium at two-loop accuracy. By employing the Cheng-Wu theorem, we are able to convert most of complex-valued master integrals (MIs) into real-valued MIs, which makes the numerical integration much efficient. Our results indicate the $$ \mathcal{O}\left({\alpha}_s\right) $$ O α s corrections are moderate for ηc and χc2 production, and are quite marginal for χc0 and χc1 production. It is impressive to note the NLO corrections considerably reduce the renormalization scale dependence in both the decay widths and the branching fractions for χcJ, and slightly improve that for ηc. With the NRQCD matrix elements evaluated via the Buchmüller-Tye potential model, we find the decay width for ηc production is one-order-of-magnitude larger than χcJ production, which may provide a good opportunity to search for Υ → ηc + γ in experiment. In addition, the decay width for χc1 production is several times larger than those for χc0,2. Finally, we find the NLO NRQCD prediction for the branching fraction of Υ → χc1 + γ is only half of the lower bound of the experimental data measured recently by Belle. Moreover, there exists serious contradiction between theory and experiment for Υ → ηc + γ. The discrepancies between theory and experiment deserve further research efforts.

Radiative decays of baryons are considered in a field theoretic quark model of composite hadrons where the translationally invariant SU (6) hadron states are described by constituent quark field operators and harmonic oscillator wave functions. The constituent quark field operators of the model satisfying the equal time algebra are also Lorentz-boosted through a spin rotation to describe hadrons in motion. The model, like its earlier success in describing the different hadronic phenomena, in the present investigation without any free parameters, obtains the radiative decay widths and helicity amplitudes in reasonable agreement with other theoretical calculations as well as with the available experimental measurements.

In this paper, the tensor–vector–pseudoscalar (TVP) type of vertices are analyzed with the QCD sum rules (QCDSR) and the local-QCD sum rules (SR) in the leading-order approximation and the hadronic coupling constants [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] together with the corresponding decay widths are then calculated. The results indicate that QCDSR as well as the local-QCDSR give a consistent description. The calculated strong decay widths and decay width ratios are compared with the available experimental and other theoretical values. Finally, the total widths [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are discussed in detail. The results show that these total widths are underestimated, especially for the tensor [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] mesons where the obtained predictions are almost a factor of 2 lower than measured decay widths.

Masses and magnetic moments of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] resonances are calculated employing the hyperspherical approach. We extend our scheme to obtain the helicity amplitudes and transition magnetic moments of the [Formula: see text] process. We also compute the radiative decay widths and branching ratios of [Formula: see text] baryons. A comparison of our results with the predictions obtained in recent theoretical models is also presented.

Abstract The first full angular analysis of the $$ {B}^0\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{\ast +} $$ B 0 → D ∗ − D s ∗ + decay is performed using 6 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The $$ {D}_s^{\ast +}\to {D}_s^{+}\gamma $$ D s ∗ + → D s + γ and D*− → $$ {\overline{D}}^0{\pi}^{-} $$ D ¯ 0 π − vector meson decays are used with the subsequent $$ {D}_s^{+} $$ D s + → K+K−π+ and $$ {\overline{D}}^0 $$ D ¯ 0 → K+π− decays. All helicity amplitudes and phases are measured, and the longitudinal polarisation fraction is determined to be fL = 0.578 ± 0.010 ± 0.011 with world-best precision, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The pattern of helicity amplitude magnitudes is found to align with expectations from quark-helicity conservation in B decays. The ratio of branching fractions [ℬ($$ {B}^0\to {D}^{\ast -}{D}_s^{\ast +} $$ B 0 → D ∗ − D s ∗ + ) × ℬ($$ {D}_s^{\ast +}\to {D}_s^{+}\gamma $$ D s ∗ + → D s + γ )]/ℬ(B0 → D*−$$ {D}_s^{+} $$ D s + ) is measured to be 2.045 ± 0.022 ± 0.071 with world-best precision. In addition, the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed Bs → D*−$$ {D}_s^{+} $$ D s + decay is made with a significance of seven standard deviations. The branching fraction ratio ℬ(Bs → D*−$$ {D}_s^{+} $$ D s + )/ℬ(B0 → D*−$$ {D}_s^{+} $$ D s + ) is measured to be 0.049 ± 0.006 ± 0.003 ± 0.002, where the third uncertainty is due to limited knowledge of the ratio of fragmentation fractions.

AbstractWe investigate the strong and radiative decay widths of the narrow nucleon resonances $N^*(1685)$ and $N^{\ast}(1726)$ within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark–soliton model. All the relevant parameters are taken from those used to describe the properties of the baryon octet and decuplet in previous works. The masses of the antidecuplet nucleon and the eikosiheptaplet (27-plet) nucleon with spin 3/2 are determined respectively to be $(1690.2\pm 10.5)\, \mathrm{MeV}$ and $(1719.6\pm7.4)\,\mathrm{MeV}$. The decay width for $N^{\ast}(1685)\to \eta + N$ is found to be approximately three times larger than that for $N^{\ast}(1685)\to \pi + N$. The width of the decay $N^{\ast}\left(1726\right)3/2^+\to \eta + N$ is about 31 times larger than that of $N^{\ast}\left(1726\right)3/2^+\to \pi + N$. The ratio of the radiative decays for $N^*(1685)$ is obtained to be $\Gamma_{nn^*(1685)}/\Gamma_{pp^*(1685)}=8.62\pm3.45$, which explains very well the neutron anomaly. In contrast, we find $\Gamma_{pp^*(1726)}/\Gamma_{nn^*(1726)}=3.72\pm0.64$, which indicates that the production of $N^*(1726)$ is more likely to be observed in the proton channel. We also examine the decay modes of these narrow nucleon resonances with the strangeness hadrons involved.

Within the framework of the Standard Model, the radiative decay channel of the Higgs boson into fermion-antifermion pair is investigated: H Þ` ff γ. Taking into account the fermion and W -boson loop diagrams an analytical expression for the decay width is obtained, the circular polarization of the γ-quanta is studied in dependence of the angle θ and invariant mass of the fermion pair.

In this paper, production of charmonium state [Formula: see text] in exclusive [Formula: see text] decays is analyzed in the framework of both leading order Non-relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics (NRQCD) and light-cone (LC) expansion models. Analytical and numerical predictions for the branching fractions of these decays in both the approaches are given. The typical value of the branching fractions is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text] and it turns out that the LC results are significantly larger than NRQCD ones (approximately two or four times increase depending on the quantum numbers of the final particles), so the effect of internal quark motion should be taken into account. Some rough estimates of color-octet contributions are presented and it is shown that these contributions could be comparable with color-singlet results.

We present a study of the inclusive photon spectrum from 6.3 million J/ψ decays collected with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e+e- collider. We measure the branching fraction of the radiative decay J/ψ → ηcγ, ηc width and mass. Taking into account an asymmetric photon line shape we obtain: Mηc = (2978.1 ± 1.4 ± 2.0) MeV/c2, Γηc = (43.5 ± 5.4 ± 15.8) MeV, [Formula: see text].

Experimental measurements of decay branching fractions of semitaunic and semimuonic [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] have challenged the lepton flavor universality in standard models with about two standard deviations. In this paper, we first investigate the unitary constraint on form factors of [Formula: see text] meson into [Formula: see text]-wave and [Formula: see text]-wave charmonium. Such constraint leads to the exploration of the [Formula: see text] and other ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in a model-independent way. These results together with future experimental measurements can be used to explore the lepton flavor universality in a more systematic way. In addition, we point out that the helicity-dependent ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can also provide complementary information.
