The Hidden Charm Decay of $X(3872),Y(3940)$ and Final State Interaction Effects

Abstract

We investigate whether the final state interaction (FSI) effect plays a significant role in the large hidden charm decay width of X(3872) and Y(3940) using a model. Our numerical result suggests (1) the FSI contribution to $X(3872)\to J/\psi \rho$ is tiny; (2) $\Gamma [Y(3940)\to D{\bar{D}}^{\ast }+\text{h.c.}\to J/\psi \omega ]$ from FSI is around several keV, far less than Belle's experimental value 7 MeV.
