The radiative decays χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ and χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ are used to probe the nature of the χc1(3872) state using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb^−1. Using the B+ → χc1(3872) K+ decay, the χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ process is observed for the first time and the ratio of its partial width to that of the χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ decay is measured to be Γ_{χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ} / Γ_{χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ} = 1.67 ± 0.21 ± 0.12 ± 0.04, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the ψ(2S) and J/ψ mesons. The measured ratio makes the interpretation of the χc1(3872) state as a pure D0 anti-D*0 + anti-D0 D*0 molecule questionable and strongly indicates a sizeable compact charmonium or tetraquark component within the χc1(3872) state.

Abstract

The radiative decays χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ and χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ are used to probe the nature of the χc1(3872) state using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9fb^−1. Using the B+ → χc1(3872) K+ decay, the χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ process is observed for the first time and the ratio of its partial width to that of the χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ decay is measured to be Γ_{χc1(3872) → ψ(2S) γ} / Γ_{χc1(3872) → J/ψ γ} = 1.67 ± 0.21 ± 0.12 ± 0.04, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third is due to the uncertainties on the branching fractions of the ψ(2S) and J/ψ mesons. The measured ratio makes the interpretation of the χc1(3872) state as a pure D0 anti-D*0 + anti-D0 D*0 molecule questionable and strongly indicates a sizeable compact charmonium or tetraquark component within the χc1(3872) state.
