Abstract

We apply perturbative QCD to the radiative decays of charmonia J/ψ and χcJ into light mesons. We perform a complete numerical calculation for the quark-gluon loop diagrams involved in these processes. The calculated J/ψ decay branching ratios into p-wave mesons f2(1270) and f1(1285) fit the data well, while that of f0(980) (if treated as an s meson) is predicted to be 1.6×10-4, which implies that f0(1710) can not be the s or (u+d)/21/2 meson. Decays of p-wave charmonia χcJρ(ω,φ)γ (J ≤ 0,1,2) are also studied, and the branching ratio of χ c1ργ is predicted to be 1.4×10-5, which may be tested by CLEO-c collaboration and BESIII collaboration with future experiments.
