The two-pseudoscalar-meson decay of $\chi_{cJ}$ with twist-3 corrections

TL;DR

This paper investigates the decay processes of $ ext{chi}_{cJ}$ into pairs of pions or kaons, incorporating twist-3 corrections and transverse momentum effects, resulting in decay width predictions aligning with experimental data.

Contribution

It introduces a model for twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitudes using BHL prescription, demonstrating twist-3 contributions are significant and not power suppressed.

Findings

Twist-3 contributions are comparable to leading-twist contributions.

Including transverse momentum and Sudakov factors improves decay width predictions.

Results align well with experimental measurements.

Abstract

The decays of $\chi_{cJ} \to \pi^+\pi^-, K^+K^-$ $(J=0,2)$ are discussed within the standard and modified hard scattering approach when including the contributions from twist-3 distribution amplitudes and wave functions of the light pseudoscalar meson. A model for twist-2 and twist-3 distribution amplitudes and wave functions of the pion and kaon with BHL prescription are proposed as the solution to the end-point singularities. The results show that the contributions from twist-3 parts are actually not power suppressed comparing with the leading-twist contribution. After including the effects from the transverse momentum of light meson valence-quark state and Sudakov factors, the decay widths of the $\chi_{cJ}$ into pions or kaons are comparable with the their experimental data.
