Form factors of η, η’ and ηc in light
front quark model
C. C. Lih and C. Q. Geng
The International Workshop on Particle Physics and Cosmology after Higgs and Planck, Chongqing, China, 2013
Motivation
The motive mainly comes from the new experimental data.
This diagram for the e + e -→P two-photon production process.
This figure was used to measure the π0 transition form factors. Here, this technique is applied to study the η,η’and ηc form factors.•CLEO experiment study the ηand η’form factors cover the Q2 region from 1.5 to about 20 GeV2. •Babar experiment study the ηand η’form factors in the Q2 range from 4 to 40 GeV2.
Motivation
The transition form factors multiplied by Q2 for (a) η and (b) η’.
Motivation
The transition form factors multiplied by Q2 for (a) η and (b) η’. The solid line shows the result of the fit to BABAR data. The dashed lines indicate the average form factor values over the data points with Q2 > 14 GeV2.
Motivation
The measurements on ηc→γ γ ∗form factor have been done by both L3 and BaBar Collaborations based on the process of e+ e-→ e+ e- γ*γ*→ e+ e- ηc in the range of Q2 from 2 to 50 GeV2.
Since ηc is composed of two massive charm quarks, it is important to know the behavior of the ηc→e+e-γ*γ* transition form factor at a high Q2 momentum transfer to compare with those of the light pesudoscalar ones.

To numerical the meson P → γ*γ* (P = η, η’and ηC) transition from factors within LFQM, we have to decompose into a Fock state for meson. The valence state of η, η’and ηC can be written as :

In this figure, we show charm quark mass dependence for ηc decay constant.

Both results are within the error of the CLEO data, but they are somewhat smaller than Lattice QCD result, in which Γηc→γγ = 7.2 ± 2.1 keV is used like the LFQM II. However, the Lattice QCD result can easily be accounted when a larger value of the charm-quark mass is used.
As shown in figures, our results for Q2Fη(η’)γ(Q2) are in good agreement with the experimental data.
- We remark that the form factors Q2Fη(η’)γ(Q2) increase (decrease) with quark masses mq(the mixing angle ψ.
- The effect from the uncertainty of ms is small due to the small quark charge.
- It is interesting to point out that the form factors can be better fitted for a larger mq with a fixed ψ or ψ = 40° with a fixed mq in the lower Q2 region.
Conclusions
η and η’
We have illustrated the transition form factor of ηc →γ∗γ as a function of the momentum transfer Q2. We have shown that although our results are consistent with the experimental data by the BaBar collaboration. We have also evaluated the decay constant of ηc. We have shown that it is sensitive to the mixing angles as well as the mass of the charm quark. Explicitly, for , we have found that and MeV in the LFQM I and II based.
Conclusions

•Future precision measurements on the decay width of ηc →γ∗γ are clearly needed in order to determine the ηc decay constant in the LFQM.
