Abstract

Inspired by the P-wave molecular interpretation of the recently observed vector state G(3900), we analyze the production of its possible pseudoscalar partner, denoted here as G0(3900), via the radiative decay Y(4230)→γG0(3900). The G0(3900) is interpreted as a P-wave molecular state with quantum numbers JPC=0−+, dominated by the DD‾*/D‾D* components. Although not yet experimentally established, such a structure is expected to appear near the DD‾* threshold and to exhibit characteristic production patterns. The decay is assumed to proceed through a triangle mechanism. Depending on the model parameters and the binding energy of G0(3900), the resulting branching fraction lies in the range . Our results offer a pathway to search for signatures of G0(3900) in radiative channels and also provide a test of the consistency of loop-mediated radiative decays with a molecular description of the Y(4230).
