abstract

The radiative decays of heavy mesons and heavy baryons are studied in a formalism which incorporates both the heavy quark symmetry and the chiral symmetry. The chiral Lagrangians for the electromagnetic interactions of heavy hadrons consist of two pieces: one from gauging electromagnetically the strong-interaction chiral Lagrangian, and the other from the anomalous magnetic moment interactions of the heavy baryons and mesons. Due to the heavy quark spin symmetry, the latter contains only one independent coupling constant in the meson sector and two in the baryon sector. These coupling constants only depend on the light quarks and can be calculated in the nonrelativistic quark model. However, the charm quark is not heavy enough and the contribution from its magnetic moment must be included. Applications to the radiative decays $D^\ast \rightarrow D \gamma~,~B^\ast \rightarrow B \gamma~,~ \Xi^\prime_c \rightarrow \Xi_c \gamma~, \Sigma_c \rightarrow \Lambda_c \gamma$ and $\Sigma_c \rightarrow \Lambda_c \pi \gamma$ are given. Together with our previous results on the strong decay rates of $D^\ast \rightarrow D \pi$ and $\Sigma_c \rightarrow \Lambda_c \pi$, predictions are obtained for the total widths and branching ratios of $D^\ast$ and $\Sigma_c$. The decays $\Sigma^+_c \rightarrow \Lambda^+_c \pi^0 \gamma $ and $\Sigma^0_c \rightarrow \Lambda^+_c \pi^- \gamma $ are discussed to illustrate the important roles played by both the heavy quark symmetry and the chiral symmetry.

  1. Systematic Study of Coupled-Channel Dynamics in Doubly Heavy Hadronic Molecules

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit coupled-channel dynamics modifies pole structures and can eliminate or shift higher-lying states in doubly heavy systems, while single-channel models suffice only for near-threshold states like T_cc.

  2. A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

  3. Two-body Hidden Charm Decays of $D$ Wave Charmonia

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using a meson-loop model calibrated to psi(3770) to J/psi eta, the paper predicts Gamma(psi2(3823) to J/psi eta) = 29.6 keV and smaller eta_c omega and psi3(3842) rates.

  4. Electromagnetic polarizabilities of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ singly heavy baryons in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At O(p^3) in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, sextet heavy baryons acquire polarizabilities from pion/kaon loops and from B6* to B6 magnetic transitions, while antitriplet heavy baryons have zero polarizability.

    hep-ph 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Fitting independent quark couplings of the X17 boson to D, psi(2S), and phi decay data yields |ε_c| = 7.6×10^{-3}, |ε_s| = 2.4×10^{-3}, a huge |ε_u| in tension with ATOMKI, and a predicted range for the D^{*+} → D^{+}...
