Abstract in Portuguese
Nessa dissertação expomos uma abordagem teórica para lidar com decaimentos radiativos de moléculas mesônicas. Trata-se de um caminho promissor para descrever hádrons que se encontram próximos dos limiares de produção dos mésons D e B, e que não se encaixam no modelo tradicional de quarks. Aplicamos essa abordagem especificamente para o méson X(3872): considerando-o um composto molecular DD*, abordamos seus decaimentos radiativos X J/ e X (2S) . Contrariando afirmações anteriores, constatamos que o modelo molecular é compatível com os dados experimentais a respeito desses decaimentos. Em nossa modelagem usamos teorias efetivas e a chamada power-divergence subtraction (PDS). O esquema PDS é um método de renormalização que se contrapõe à popular subtração mínima e é especialmente designado para tratar fenômenos não-perturbativos, como estados ligados e ressonâncias. Verificamos que as físicas de longo e curto alcance do X são igualmente importantes naqueles decaimentos. Nossos cálculos estabelecem um limite mínimo para as larguras de decaimento, o que poderia em princípio ser testado experimentalmente. Além disso, nossos resultados podem auxiliar a construção de modelos para a estrutura de curto alcance do X. Essa dissertação também apresenta uma revisão sobre espalhamento quântico e teorias efetivas, arcabouços teóricos constantemente presentes em nossa abordagem.

Abstract in English
In this dissertation we present a theoretical approach to deal with radiative decays of meson molecules. This is a promising framework to understand mesons that lie near the production threshold of D and B mesons, and don't fit in the traditional quarkonia predictions. We apply this approach specifically to the meson X(3872): considering it a DD* molecule, we deal with its radiative decays X J/ and X (2S) . Contrary to previous claims, we demonstrate that the molecular model is compatible with the experimental radiative decay data. We use effective field theory techniques and the so called power-divergence subtraction (PDS) scheme. Based on the popular dimensional regularization and minimal subtraction scheme, PDS is designed to handle non-perturbative phenomena such as bound states and resonances. We find that short and long-distance physics are equally important in these decays. Our calculations set a lower limit to the corresponding decay widths, which can in principle be tested experimentally. Our results also may be used as guide to build models for the short-distance structure of the X(3872). Furthermore, this dissertation presents a review about quantum scattering and effective field theories, theoretical tools constantly present in our approach.
