  • In this work, we investigate the production of charmonium $2P$ states via the $e^+e^-\to γD\bar{D}$ process at $\sqrt{s} = 4.23$ GeV. Using the measured cross-section data for $e^+e^-\to γX(3872)$ as a reference, we calculate the cross sections for $e^+e^-\to γχ_{c0}(2P)$ and $e^+e^-\to γχ_{c2}(2P)$. Since the $χ_{c0}(2P)$ and $χ_{c2}(2P)$ states predominantly decay into $D\bar{D}$ final states, we also predict the corresponding $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum for the $e^+e^-\to γD\bar{D}$ process. Our results indicate that $e^+e^-\to γD\bar{D}$ is an ideal process for identifying the $χ_{c0}(2P)$ and $χ_{c2}(2P)$ states, analogous to the $γγ\to D\bar{D}$ and $B^+\to D^+D^-K^+$ processes. This study highlights the discovery potential of charmonium $2P$ states at BESIII and Belle II.
