Abstract: (Elsevier B.V.)
We study the radiative decay of based on the assumption that is regarded as a charmonium with quantum number ( represent the spin, parity and charge conjugation, respectively). The form factors of transitions to and ( denotes throughout the paper) are calculated in the framework of the covariant light-front quark model. The phenomenological wave function of a meson depends on the parameter β, whose inverse essentially describes the confinement scale. In the present work, the parameters β for the vector and mesons will be determined through their decay constants, which are obtained from the experimental values of their partial decay widths to the electron-positron pair. For , we determined the value of β by the decay width of . Then, we examined the width of in a manner of parameter-free prediction and compared it with the experimental value. As a result, an inconsistency or contradiction occurs between the widths of and . We thus conclude that cannot be a pure resonance and that other components are necessary in its wave function.Note:
