Cross section measurement of ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \psi \left(2S\right)$ and search for ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \stackrel{˜}{X}\left(3872\right)$

  • 1. CERN

Description

The energy-dependent cross section for ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \psi \left(2S\right)$ is measured at 18 center of mass energies from 4.288 to 4.951 GeV using the BESIII detector. Using the same data samples, we also perform the first search for the reaction ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \stackrel{˜}{X}\left(3872\right)$, but no evidence is found for the $\stackrel{˜}{X}\left(3872\right)$ in the ${\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}J/\psi $ mass distribution. At each of the 18 center of mass energies, upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the cross section for ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \psi \left(2S\right)$ and on the product of the ${e}^{+}{e}^{-}\to \eta \stackrel{˜}{X}\left(3872\right)$ cross section with the branching fraction of $\stackrel{˜}{X}\left(3872\right)\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}J/\psi $ are reported.
