Abstract
Heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory () and XEFT are applied to the decays and under the assumption that the is a molecular bound state of neutral charm mesons. In these decays the emitted photon energies are 181 MeV and 165 MeV, respectively, so can be used to calculate the underlying or transition. These amplitudes are matched onto XEFT to obtain decay rates. The decays receive contributions from both long-distance and short-distance processes. We study the polarization of the in the decay and the angular distribution of in the decay and find they can be used to differentiate between different decay mechanisms as well as discriminate between and quantum number assignments of the .
