Abstract
Radiative transitions between charmonium states offer an insight into the internal structure of heavy quark bound states within QCD. In this work, we systematically investigate the coupled-channel effects of intermediate charmed mesons to charmonium radiative transitions utilizing an effective Lagrangian approach. Our results show that the coupled-channel effects of these decays under the open charm thresholds are relatively weak, while the coupled-channel effects of the excited P-wave states close to the charmed pairs thresholds are relatively important.

Appendix: The transition amplitude
Appendix: The transition amplitude
In the following, we present the transition amplitudes for the intermediate meson loops listed in Table 1 in the framework of the ELA. Notice that the expressions are similar for the charged, neutral, and charmed-strange mesons except that different charmed meson masses are applied. We thus only present the amplitudes for those charged charmed meson loops. G 1, G 2, and G 3 are vertex couplings corresponding the initial charmonium, final charmonium and final photon vertex for each loop, and the explicit expression can be found in Eq. (16). [p 1, p 3, p 2] are the four-vector momenta for the intermediate mesons [M1, M3, M2], respectively. p i (p f ), ε i (ε f ), and ϕ i (ϕ f ) are the initial (final) charmonium four-vector momentum, polarization vector, and polarization tensor, respectively. p γ and ε γ are the final photon four-vector momentum and polarization vector, respectively.
