Abstract: (arXiv)
The processes of P-wave Quarkonium exclusive decays to two mesons are investigated, in which the final state vector mesons with various polarizations are considered separately. In the calculation, the initial heavy quarkonia are treated in the framework of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics, whereas for light mesons, the light cone distribution amplitudes up to twist-3 are employed. It turns out that the higher twist contribution is significant and provides a possible explanation for the observation of the hadron helicity selection rule violated processes χc1ϕϕ,ωω\chi_{c1}\rightarrow \phi\phi,\omega\omega by the BESIII collaboration in recently. We also evaluate the χb1J/ψJ/ψ\chi_{b1}\to J/\psi J/\psi process and find that its branching ratio is big enough to be measured at the B-factories.
