Using a data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, the Born cross section of the process e+e- → ηJ/ψ at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 3.773 GeV is measured to be (8.88 pm 0.87 pm 0.42) pb. We fit the cross section line shape before correcting for the initial state radiation from sqrt(s) 3.773 to 4.600 GeV to obtain the branching fraction B(ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ). We obtain B(ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ) = (11.3 5.9 1.1) × 10−4 when the ψ(3770) decay amplitude is added coherently to the other contributions, and (8.7 pm 1.0 pm 0.8) x 10^(-4) when it is added incoherently. Here the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. In both cases, the statistical significance of ψ(3770) resonance is above 7σ. This is the first time the decay ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ is observed with a statistical significance greater than 5σ.

Abstract
Using a data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, the Born cross section of the process e+e- → ηJ/ψ at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 3.773 GeV is measured to be (8.88 pm 0.87 pm 0.42) pb. We fit the cross section line shape before correcting for the initial state radiation from sqrt(s) 3.773 to 4.600 GeV to obtain the branching fraction B(ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ). We obtain B(ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ) = (11.3 5.9 1.1) × 10−4 when the ψ(3770) decay amplitude is added coherently to the other contributions, and (8.7 pm 1.0 pm 0.8) x 10^(-4) when it is added incoherently. Here the quoted uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. In both cases, the statistical significance of ψ(3770) resonance is above 7σ. This is the first time the decay ψ(3770) → ηJ/ψ is observed with a statistical significance greater than 5σ.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
