Search forηandη′invisible decays inJ/ψ→ϕηandϕη′

2013

Using a sample of (225.3 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi decays collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, searches for invisible decays of eta and eta ' in J/psi -> phi eta and phi eta ' are performed. Decays of phi -> K+K- are used to tag the eta and eta ' decays. No signals above background are found for the invisible decays, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be 2.6 x 10(-4) for the ratio B(eta -> invisible)/B(eta ->gamma gamma) and 2.4 x 10(-2) for B(eta '-> invisible)/B(eta '->gamma gamma). These limits may be used to constrain light dark matter particles or spin-1 U bosons. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.012009

Measurements of baryon pair decays of chi(cJ) mesons

2013

Using 106 $\times 10^{6}$ $\psi^{\prime}$ decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, three decays of $\chi_{cJ}$ ($J=0,1,2$) with baryon pairs ($\llb$, $\ssb$, $\SSB$) in the final state have been studied. The branching fractions are measured to be $\cal{B}$$(\chi_{c0,1,2}\rightarrow\Lambda\bar\Lambda) =(33.3 \pm 2.0 \pm 2.6)\times 10^{-5}$, $(12.2 \pm 1.1 \pm 1.1)\times 10^{-5}$, $(20.8 \pm 1.6 \pm 2.3)\times 10^{-5}$; $\cal{B}$$(\chi_{c0,1,2}\rightarrow\Sigma^{0}\bar\Sigma^{0})$ = $(47.8 \pm 3.4 \pm 3.9)\times 10^{-5}$, $(3.8 \pm 1.0 \pm 0.5)\times 10^{-5}$, $(4.0 \pm 1.1 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-5}$; and $\cal{B}$$(\chi_{c0,1,2}\rightarrow\Sigma^{+}\bar\Sigma^{-})$ = $(45.4 \pm…

Evidence forηc(2S)inψ(3686)→γKS0K±π∓π+π−

2013

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…

Partial wave analysis ofJ/ψ→γηη

2013

Based on a sample of 2.25 x 10(8) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, a full partial wave analysis on J/psi -> gamma eta eta was performed using the relativistic covariant tensor amplitude method. The results show that the dominant 0(++) and 2(++) components are from the f(0)(1710), f(0)(2100), f(0)(1500), f(2)'(1525), f(2)(1810) and f(2)(2340). The resonance parameters and branching fractions are also presented.

Experimental study ofψ′decays toK+K−π0andK+K−η

2012

Using (106 +/- 4) x 10(6) psi ' events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider, we present measurements of the branching fractions for psi' decays to K+K- pi(0) and K+K- eta. In these final states, the decay psi' -> K-2(*) (1430)(+) K- + 10(-5), is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is measured to be (7.12 +/- 0: 62(stat)(-0.61)(+1.13) (syst)) x 10(-5), which indicates a violation of the helicity selection rule in psi' decays. The branching fractions of psi' -> K* (892)(+) K- + c.c., phi eta, and phi pi(0) are also measured. The measurements are used to test the QCD predictions on charmonium decays.

Precision measurements of branching fractions forψ′→π0J/ψandηJ/ψ

2012

We present a precision study of the psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi and eta J/Psi decay modes. The measurements are obtained using 106 x 10(6) psi' events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider operating at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the psi' mass. We obtain B(psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi) = (1.26 +/- 0.02(stat) +/- 0.03(syst)) x 10(-3) and B(psi' -> eta J/Psi) = (33.75 +/- 0.17(stat) +/- 0.86(syst)) x 10(-3). The branching fraction ratio R = B(psi'->pi(0)J/psi)/B(psi'->eta J/psi) is determined to be (3.74 +/- 0.06(stat) +/- 0.04(syst)) x 10(-2). The precision of these measurements of B(Psi' -> pi(0)J/Psi) and R represent a significant improvement over previously publis…

Partial wave analysis of $\psi(2S) \to p \bar{p}\eta$

2013

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 for $\eta$ and $\eta'$ Invisible Decays in $J/\psi\to\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta'$

2012

Using a sample of $(225.3\pm 2.8)\times 10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ decays collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, searches for invisible decays of $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ in $J/\psi\to\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ are performed. Decays of $\phi \to K^{+}K^{-}$ are used to tag the $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ decays. No signals above background are found for the invisible decays, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be $2.58\times10^{-4}$ for the ratio $\frac{\mathcal{B}(\eta\to\rm{invisible})}{\mathcal{B}(\eta\to\gamma\gamma)}$ and $2.39\times10^{-2}$ for $\frac{\mathcal{B}(\eta^\prime\to\rm{invisible})}{\mathcal{B}(\eta^\prime \to\gamma\gamma)}$.
