abstract

We construct an effective Lagrangian describing the interaction of soft pions and kaons with mesons containing a heavy quark and light degrees of freedom in an orbital $p$ wave. The formalism is easily extended to heavy mesons and baryons in arbitrary excited states. We calculate the leading contributions to the strong decays $\dtwo\to\d\pi$, $\dtwo\to\dstar\pi$ and $\done\to\dstar\pi$. We confirm the relations between the rates previously obtained by Isgur and Wise using heavy quark symmetry, and find that the absolute widths are consistent with na\"\i ve power counting. We also estimate the branching ratios for the two pion decays $\dtwo\to\dstar\pi\pi$, $\done\to\dstar\pi\pi$ and $\done\to\d\pi\pi$, which are dominated by pole graphs. Our predictions depend on the masses and widths of the as yet unseen scalar-pseudovector $p$-wave doublet. Heavy quark spin symmetry predicts $\Gamma(\dtwo\to\dstar\pi\pi): \Gamma(\done\to\dstar\pi\pi):\Gamma(\done\to\d\pi\pi)=3:1:2$, but this relation is badly violated in practice because $1/M$ effects arising purely from kinematics are large.

  1. Systematic Study of Coupled-Channel Dynamics in Doubly Heavy Hadronic Molecules

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Explicit coupled-channel dynamics modifies pole structures and can eliminate or shift higher-lying states in doubly heavy systems, while single-channel models suffice only for near-threshold states like T_cc.

  2. Heavy meson chiral perturbation theory constraints on a charm-coupled GeV-scale QCD axion

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A charm-only QCD axion model passes a heavy-meson EFT consistency check, with its tightest bound coming from σ-mediated B_s mixing.

  3. Vector charmonium(-like) states in the energy range of 4.1-4.6 GeV

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A coupled-channel framework is developed and fitted to BESIII data on vector charmonium-like states in the 4.1-4.6 GeV range, concluding that coupled-channel effects with dynamically generated poles explain the line shapes.

  4. Three-body molecular states composed of $D^{(*)}$ and two nucleons

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The DNN system forms a robust compact bound state in the I=1/2 (1^-) channel across cutoffs, while D*NN exhibits spin-dependent bound states in 0^-, 1^-, and 2^- channels with no resonances found.
