We give predictions for the strong hidden-charm $Z^\\pm(4430) \\to \\pi^\\pm \\psi$ and $\\pi^\\pm\\psi^\\prime$ decay widths and also study the radiative $Z^\\pm\\;(J^P=1^-) \\to \\pi^\\pm\\gamma$ decay properties in a phenomenological Lagrangian approach. Our findings are qualitatively in line with the experimental observation that the $\\pi^\\pm\\psi^\\prime$ transition dominates over the $\\pi^\\pm\\psi$ decay mode despite a smaller phase space. The width for the radiative mode $\\pi^\\pm\\gamma$ is sizable, allowing possible detection in future experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-10-19T08:58:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13.25.Gv", "14.40.Rt", "12.38.Lg" ], "keywords": [ "bound state", "radiative decays", "heavy hadron molecule interpretation", "decay mode despite", "smaller phase space" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2010, "month": "Sep", "volume": 82, "number": 5, "pages": "054025" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 855354, "adsabs": "2010PhRvD..82e4025B" } } }
