Precision tests of the J/{psi} from full lattice QCD: mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to {η}_c
read the original abstract
We calculate the J/{\psi} mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to \gamma \eta_c from lattice QCD including u, d and s quarks in the sea for the first time. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism and nonperturbatively normalised vector currents for the leptonic and radiative decay rates. Our results are: M_{J/\psi} -M_{\eta_c} = 116.5(3.2) MeV; \Gamma(J/{\psi} to e^+e^-) = 5.48(16) keV; \Gamma(J/{\psi} to \gamma \eta_c) = 2.49(19) keV. The first two are in good agreement with experiment, with \Gamma(J/{\psi} to e^+e^-) providing a test of a decay matrix element in QCD, independent of CKM uncertainties, to 2%. At the same time results for the time moments of the correlation function can be compared to values from the charm contribution to \Gamma(e^+e^- to hadrons), giving a 1.5% test of QCD. Our results show that an improved experimental error would enable a similarly strong test from \Gamma(J/{\psi} to \gamma \eta_c).

Radiative charmonium decays in a contact-interaction model with dynamical quark anomalous magnetic moment
Contact-interaction model with dynamical quark anomalous magnetic moment reproduces lattice QCD results for eta_c to gamma gamma and J/psi to gamma eta_c decays, consistent with 2026 data but not the 2024 measurement.

Production Rate of Glueball-like $X(2370)$ in $J/\psi$ Radiative Decay
Mixing with a small angle between the pseudoscalar glueball and η_c can increase Br(J/ψ → γ X(2370)) well above the pure-glueball value of 2.3(8)×10^{-4}.
