Abstract

Abstract. We propose to study the structure of the enigmatic χc1(3872) axial vector meson through its γL*γ → χc1 (3872) transition form factor. We use our recently derived light-front wave function representation of the form factor for the lowest cc¯ Fock-state. We found that the reduced width of the state is well within the current experimental bound recently published by the Belle collaboration. This strongly suggests a crucial role of the cc¯ Fock-state in the photon-induced production. Our predictions for the Q2 dependence can be tested by future single tagged e+e− experiments, giving further insights into the short-distance structure of this meson.
