The mass and width of the lowest-lying S-wave spin singlet charmonium state, the ηc, are measured using a data sample of 1.06×108 ψ(3686) decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring.

Abstract
The mass and width of the lowest-lying S-wave spin singlet charmonium state, the ηc, are measured using a data sample of 1.06×108 ψ(3686) decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We use a model that incorporates full interference between the signal reaction, ψ(3686)→γηc, and a nonresonant radiative background to describe the line shape of the ηc successfully. We measure the ηc mass to be 2984.3±0.6±0.6 MeV/c2 and the total width to be 32.0±1.2±1.0 MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.File in questo prodotto:
