Calculation of P-Wave Charmonium Decay Rates Using Dimensional Regularization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contributions to the decay rates of P-wave charmonium states that are proportional to nfα 3 s, where nf is the number of flavors of light quarks, are calculated in the framework of nonrelativistic QCD using the threshold expansion method. Dimensional regularization is used to regularize the infrared divergences that arise from the emission of a soft gluon. Our results are consistent with the original calculations of Barbieri et al.

Quarkonium Decay Matrix Elements from Quenched Lattice QCD.
The factorization result of Bodwin, Braaten, and Lepage separates the contributions to the decay rates of heavy-quarkonium into long-distance and shortdistance factors. The short-distance coefficients are known from perturbation theory. We calculate the long-distance matrix elements for the lowest-lying Sand P-wave states of charmonium and bottomonium in quenched lattice QCD, using a nonrelativ...
متن کامل0 Colour Octet Contribution in Exclusive P - Wave Charmonium Decay into Proton - Antiproton
In inclusive P-wave charmonium decay, to cancel infrared divergence in the colour singlet contribution requires the inclusion of the colour octet which becomes degenerate with the former in the infrared limit. In the corresponding exclusive decay , such an infrared divergence does not exist. On this ground, it becomes doubtful whether the colour octet is needed in exclusive reactions. A contrad...

متن کاملRadiative Corrections to Quarkonium Decays: from a Model to a Rigorous Theory
Most previous calculations of the annihilation decay rates of heavy quarkonium were based on factorization assumptions that were unproven and, in some cases, even incorrect. The recent development of a general factorization formula for heavy quarkonium annihilation rates has provided a rigorous theoretical foundation for such calculations. The factorization formula is based on the use of the ef...
متن کاملP-wave charmonium production in B-meson decays.
We calculate the decay rates of B mesons into P-wave charmonium states using new factorization formulas that are valid to leading order in the relative velocity of the charmed quark and antiquark and to all orders in the running coupling constant of QCD. We express the production rates for all four P states in terms of two nonperturbative parameters, the derivative of the wavefunction at the or...
