Search for exotic states in ηc decays at BESIII — Tessa Bertelsmeier1, Jans Böing1, •Anja Brüggemann1, Lotta Frese1, Nils Hüsken2, Nikolai in der Wiesche1, Lois Kröger1, Hannah Neuwirth1, Frederik Weidner1, and Alfons Khoukaz1 for the BESIII Germany collaboration — 1Universität Münster, Germany — 2Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Germany
The BESIII detector at the e+ e− collider BEPCII in Beijing, China, provides the world’s largest data sample of the charmonium J/ψ with more than 10 billion events collected from 2009 to 2019.
Starting from the radiative J/ψ decay into γ ηc, we analyse the reactions ηc → η′ h h (with h h = π0 π0, π+ π−, 2(π+π−), K+ K−, KS KS, η η) to determine the corresponding branching ratios as well as the mass and width of the ground-state charmonium ηc based on signal yields much higher than achieved in former analyses. Moreover, these mesonic ηc decays provide the opportunity to investigate possible exotic content in h h intermediate states, that lie in the mass region below 2 GeV/c2, where the lightest glueball is predicted.
Our studies are based on a partial wave analysis approach that gives access to the properties of the ηc charmonium and to the partial decay widths of contributing resonances decaying into the h h subsystems. These widths are directly comparable to theoretical predictions, which assume glueball admixtures carried by certain considered resonances.
The current status of the analysis is presented.
