Note on recent measurements of the \psi(1S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S) and \psi(2S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S) branching ratios
Recently published measurements of the branching ratios {\cal
B}(\psi(1S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S)) and {\cal B}(\psi(2S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S)) by the
CLEO collaboration are examined in the context of a potential model that
includes both relativistic and one-loop QCD corrections to the quark-antiquark
interaction. The prediction for the width \Gamma(\psi(1S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S))
is in excellent agreement with the new data but the prediction for
\Gamma(\psi(2S)\to\ga \eta_C(1S)) is too small. In an effort to understand
this discrepancy, we derive an upper bound on \Gamma(\psi(2S)\to\ga
\eta_C(1S)) and point out its experimental value saturates this bound.Comment: Corrected typos, addeded referenc
Calculation of the decay {\bm H\bm\to\bm e\bar{\bm e}\bm\ga}
We revisit an earlier calculation of the decay H\to e\,\bar{e}\ga using the
recently reported mass value of the Higgs boson candidate observed in the ATLAS
and CMS experiments together with cuts that are appropriate for experimental
analyzes.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Comparison of and including the ATLAS cuts
A precise comparison is made between the Dalitz decay
and the two body decay for electrons and for muons including experimental cuts
appropriate for the ATLAS detector. The widths for these two processes differ
by 8% for electrons and 3% for muons. Given that there remain QCD radiative
corrections of this order that are not included, this suggests that the
isolation of the Dalitz decay will be challenging.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 2 table
