abstract

In this work, we first perform a systematic study of the transition magnetic moments and the corresponding radiative decay behaviors of the $B_c$-like molecular states associated with their mass spectra, where the constituent quark model is adopted by considering the $S$-$D$ wave mixing effect. Our numerical results show that the radiative decay properties can be considered as the effective physical observable to reflect the inner structures of these $B_c$-like molecular states. Meanwhile, we also discuss the magnetic moments of the $B_c$-like molecular states, and we find that the magnetic moment properties can be used to distinguish the $B_c$-like molecular states from the conventional $B_c$ mesonic states, which have the same quantum numbers and similar masses. We expect that the present study can inspire the interest of the experimentalist in exploring the electromagnetic properties of the $B_c$-like molecular states, especially the radiative decay properties.

    The paper calculates vector meson magnetic moments and M1 radiative decay widths for light and charm mesons, finding that both models need empirical scale factors to match measured charm decays.
