contents We present the results of our lattice QCD computation of the electric ($E_{1}$) and magnetic $(M_{2})$ form factors relevant to the $χ_{c1}\to J/ψ\,γ$ decay by using the gauge field configurations produced by the Extended Twisted Mass Collaboration with $N_{f}=2+1+1$ dynamical Wilson-Clover twisted mass fermions at four different lattice spacings with physical dynamical $u$ , $d$, $s$ and $c$ quark masses (except for the coarsest lattice for which the lightest sea quark corresponds to a pion with $m_π\simeq 175~\mathrm{MeV}$). In the continuum limit, we obtain $Γ( χ_{c1}\to J/ψ γ) = 0.3265(79)~\mathrm{MeV}$, which agrees to $(1÷2) σ$ with the experimental results and disagrees with a previous (unquenched) lattice QCD calculation. Our result for the magnetic quadrupole fractional transition amplitude, $a_{2} =M_{2}/\sqrt{E_{1}^{2}+M_{2}^{2}} = -0.0666(22)$, is in agreement with the experiment and represents an improvement by a factor of about $30$ with respect to the only existing (quenched) lattice QCD result.
