Using 2.25 x 10^8 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, we observe for the first time the process J/ψ →pp ̄a0(980),a0(980)→π0η with a significance of 6.5σ (3.2σ including systematic uncertainties). The product branching fraction of J/ψ → pp ̄a0(980) → pp ̄π0η is measured to be (6.8 ±1.2±1.3)×10−5, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement provides information on the a0 production near threshold coupling to pp ̄ and improves the understanding of the dynamics of J/ψ decays to four-body processes.

Abstract
Using 2.25 x 10^8 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage rings, we observe for the first time the process J/ψ →pp ̄a0(980),a0(980)→π0η with a significance of 6.5σ (3.2σ including systematic uncertainties). The product branching fraction of J/ψ → pp ̄a0(980) → pp ̄π0η is measured to be (6.8 ±1.2±1.3)×10−5, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. This measurement provides information on the a0 production near threshold coupling to pp ̄ and improves the understanding of the dynamics of J/ψ decays to four-body processes.File in questo prodotto:
