Comprehending heavy charmonia and their decays by hadron loop effects

Abstract

We present that including the hadron loop effects could help us to understand the spectrum of the heavier charmonium-like states and their decays simultaneously. The observed states could be represented by the poles on the complex energy plane. By coupling to the opened thresholds, the pole positions are shifted from the bare states predicted in the quenched potential model to the complex energy plane. The pole masses are generally pulled down from the bare masses and the open-charm decay widths are related to the imaginary parts of the pole positions. Moreover, we also analyze the pole trajectory of the $χ_{c1}(2P)$ state while the quark pair production rate from the vacuum changes in its uncertainty region, which indicates that the enigmatic X(3872) state may be regarded as a $1^{++}$ $c\bar{c}$ charmonium-dominated state dressed by the hadron loops as the others.
