Measurement of Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->e^+e^-) and Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->mu^+mu^-)


Abstract in English

The products of the electron width of the J/psi meson and the branching fraction of its decays to the lepton pairs were measured using data from the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The results are Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->e^+e^-)=(0.3323pm0.0064pm0.0048) keV, Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->mu^+mu^-)=(0.3318pm0.0052pm0.0063) keV. Their combinations Gamma_{ee}times(Gamma_{ee}+Gamma_{mumu})/Gamma=(0.6641pm0.0082pm0.0100) keV, Gamma_{ee}/Gamma_{mumu}=1.002pm0.021pm0.013 can be used to improve theaccuracy of the leptonic and full widths and test leptonic universality. Assuming emu universality and using the world average value of the lepton branching fraction, we also determine the leptonic Gamma_{ll}=5.59pm0.12 keV and total Gamma=94.1pm2.7 keV widths of the J/psi meson.
