Abstract
We investigate the radiative decay within the framework of nonrelativistic effective field theory (NREFT). The is treated as an - mixed state of the and , while the is interpreted as a weakly bound molecule with . The decay process was assumed to occur via the intermediate meson loops involving the -wave and -wave mesons. Our calculated results indicate that the decay is dominated by the meson loops. The partial decay width is predicted to be for a binding energy range of , corresponding to a branching fraction of . The decay width is found to be insensitive to the full width of the meson. Our study suggests that the radiative decay of the is a promising channel to search for the state, which is crucial for testing heavy-quark symmetries and understanding the exotic hadron spectrum in the bottom sector.
