Radiative transitions of heavy quarkonium states

Abstract

We study radiative decays of heavy $Q\bar{Q}$ states, both for $Q=c$ and $Q=b$, using an effective Lagrangian approach which exploits spin symmetry for such states. We use existing data on radiative quarkonium transitions to predict some unmeasured decay rates. We also discuss how these modes can be useful to understand the structure of X(3872).
