Diabatic description of charmoniumlike mesons. II. Mass corrections and strong decay widths

2021

From a diabatic bound state approach to $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $(0,1,2)^{++}$ charmoniumlike resonances below $4.1$ GeV, formulated in terms of ${c\overline{c}}$ and closed meson-meson channels, we calculate mass shifts and widths due to open meson-meson channels. This calculation does not involve any new free parameter, so comparison of our predictions with existing data provides a direct test of our approach. Further mass corrections are also estimated and good agreement with the measured masses comes out. As for the calculated widths, overall reasonable, they point out to the need of some refinement of our current bound state approximation for an accurate description of data. These results …
