Partial wave analysis of $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p}\eta$
Using a sample of $1.06 \times 10^{8}$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the decay $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p}\eta$ is studied. A partial wave analysis determines that the intermediate state N(1535) with a mass of $1524\pm5^{+10}_{-4}$ MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $130^{+27+57}_{-24-10}$ MeV/$c^2$ is dominant in the decay; the product branching fraction is determined to be $B(\psi(2S) \to N(1535)\bar{p})\times B(N(1535)\to p\eta)+c.c. = (5.2\pm0.3^{+3.2}_{-1.2})\times 10^{-5}$. Furthermore, the branching fraction of $\psi(2S) \to \eta p \bar{p}$ is measured to be $(6.4\pm0.2\pm0.6)\times 10^{-5}$.
Search forηandη′→π+e−ν¯e+c.c.decays inJ/ψ→ϕηandϕη′
Using a sample of 225.3 million J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider in 2009, searches for the decays of eta and eta' -> pi(+)e(-)(v) over bar (e) + c.c. in J/psi -> phi eta and phi eta' are performed. The phi signals, which are reconstructed in K+K- final states, are used to tag eta and eta' semileptonic decays. No signals are observed for either eta or eta', and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be 7.3 x 10(-4) and 5.0 x 10(-4) for the ratios B(eta ->pi(+)e(-)(v) over bar (e) + c.c)/B(eta ->pi(+)pi(-)pi(0)) and B(eta'->pi(+)e(-)(v) over bar (e) + c.c)/B(eta'->pi(+)pi(-)eta) respectively. These are the first upper- limit v…
Evidence forηc(2S)inψ(3686)→γKS0K±π∓π+π−
We search for the M1 radiative transition psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S) by reconstructing the exclusive eta(c)(2S) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-) decay using 1.06 X 10(8) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector. The signal is observed with a statistical significance of greater than 4 standard deviations. The measured mass of the eta(c)(2S) is 3646.9 +/- 1.6(stat) +/- 3.6(syst) MeV/c(2), and the width is 9.9 +/- 4.8(stat) +/- 2.9(syst) MeV/c(2). The product branching fraction is measured to be B(psi(3686) -> gamma eta(c)(2S)) X B(eta(c)(2S) -> gamma(KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-) = (7.03 +/- 2.10(stat) +/- 0.70(syst)) X 10(-6). This measurement complements a previous BESIII m…
Search for $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime\to \pi^+ e^- \bar{\nu}_e +c.c.$ decays in $\jpsi \to \phi \eta$ and $\phi \eta^\prime$
Using a sample of 225.3 million $\jpsi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider in 2009, searches for the decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime\to\pi^+ e^- \bar{\nu}_e +c.c.$ in $\jpsi \to \phi \eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ are performed. The $\phi$ signals, which are reconstructed in $K^+K^-$ final states, are used to tag $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ semileptonic decays. No signals are observed for either $\eta$ or $\eta^\prime$, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be $7.3\times 10^{-4}$ and $5.0\times 10^{-4}$ for the ratios $\frac{{\mathcal B}(\eta\to \pi^+ e^- \bar{\nu}_e +c.c.)}{{\mathcal B}(\eta \to \pip\pim\piz)}$ and $\frac{{\mathca…
