Abstract

The 𝐽/𝜓, 𝜓⁡(3686)→Σ0⁢Σ0bar processes and subsequent decays are studied using the world’s largest 𝐽/𝜓 and 𝜓⁡(3686) data samples collected with the BESIII detector. The parity-violating decay parameters of the decays Σ0→Λ⁢𝛾 and Σ0bar→Λbar⁢𝛾, 𝛼_Σ0 = −0.0017±0.0021±0.0018 and 𝛼_Σ0bar = 0.0021±0.0020±0.0022, are measured for the first time. The strong 𝐶⁢𝑃 symmetry is tested in the decays of the Σ0 hyperons for the first time by measuring the asymmetry 𝐴^Σ_𝐶⁢𝑃=𝛼_Σ0+𝛼_Σ0bar = (0.4±2.9±1.3)×10−3. The weak 𝐶⁢𝑃 test is performed in the subsequent decays of their daughter particles Λ and Λbar. Also for the first time, the transverse polarizations of the Σ0 hyperons in 𝐽/𝜓 and 𝜓⁡(3686) decays are observed with opposite directions, and the ratios between the 𝑆-wave and 𝐷-wave contributions of the 𝐽/𝜓, 𝜓⁡(3686)→Σ0⁢Σ0bar decays are obtained. These results are crucial to understand the decay dynamics of the charmonium states and the production mechanism of the Σ0−Σ0bar pairs.
