Spectroscopy and decay properties of charmonium

Abstract

The mass spectra of charmonium are investigated using a Coulomb plus linear (Cornell) potential. Gaussian wave functions in position space as well as in momentum space are employed to calculate the expectation values of potential and kinetic energy respectively. Various experimental states (X(4660)(53 S 1), X(3872)(23 P 1), X(3900)(21 P 1), X(3915)(23 P 0) and X(4274)(33 P 1) etc.) are assigned as charmonium states. We also study the Regge trajectories, pseudoscalar and vector decay constants, electric and magnetic dipole transition rates, and annihilation decay widths for charmonium states.
