Towards two-body strong decay behavior of higher $\rho$ and $\rho_3$ mesons

Abstract

In this work, we systematically study the two-body strong decay of the $\rho/\rho_3$ states, which are observed and grouped into the $\rho/\rho_3$ meson family. By performing the phenomenological analysis, the underlying properties of these states are obtained and tested. What is more important is that abundant information of their two-body strong decays is predicted, which will be helpful to further and experimentally study these states.
