Abstract

In this work, we investigate the dipion transition processes X(3872)→ππχcJ(J=0,1,2)X(3872)\to ππχ_{cJ} (J=0,1,2) within the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory, treating X(3872)X(3872) as a molecular state composed of DDˉ∗D\bar{D}^*+ H.c. components. By analyzing the box and triangle loop diagrams with the nonrelativistic effective field theory power-counting rule, we demonstrate that box diagrams dominate these dipion transition processes. Branching ratios are calculated as functions of the mixing angle θθ, which parametrizes the neutral and charged meson compositions of the X(3872)X(3872). Our results indicate that the branching fractions for X(3872)→ππχc0X(3872)\toππχ_{c0}, X(3872)→ππχc1X(3872)\to ππχ_{c1}, and X(3872)→ππχc2X(3872)\to ππχ_{c2} are of the orders of 10−410^{-4}, 10−310^{-3}, and 10−510^{-5}, respectively. We also predict the ratios B[X(3872)→ππχc0/2]/B[X(3872)→ππχc1]{\mathcal{B}[X(3872)\rightarrow ππχ_{c0/2}]}/{\mathcal{B}[X(3872)\rightarrow ππχ_{c1}]} and B[X(3872)→π+π−χcJ]/B[X(3872)→π0π0χcJ]{\mathcal{B}[X(3872)\rightarrow π^+π^-χ_{cJ}]}/{\mathcal{B}[X(3872)\rightarrow π^0π^0χ_{cJ}]}. The latter deviates from isospin-symmetry expectations, revealing various degrees of isospin violation. By studying the π+π−π^+π^- and π+χcJπ^+χ_{cJ} invariant mass spectra, we find a double-bump structure in the π+π−π^ + π^- invariant mass distributions of the process X(3872)→π+π−χc1X(3872)\to π^+π^-χ_{c1} and π+χc0π^+χ_{c0} invariant mass distribution of the process X(3872)→π+π−χc0X(3872)\to π^+π^-χ_{c0}, which could be tested by future experimental measurements.
