What can radiative decays of the \(X(3872)\) teach us about its nature?




Abstract: Starting from the hypothesis that the X(3872) is a molecule, we discuss the radiative decays of the X(3872) into gammaJ/psi and gammapsi from an effective field theory point of view. We show that radiative decays are very weakly sensitive to the long-range structure of the X(3872). In particular, contrary to earlier claims, we argue that the experimentally determined ratio of the mentioned branching fractions is not in conflict with a wave function of the X(3872) that is dominated by the hadronic molecular component.
