Decays of the chi_{cJ} states (J=0, 1, 2) to Lambda Lambda bar pi^{+} pi^{-}, including processes with intermediate Sigma(1385), are studied through the E1 transition psi-->gamma chi_{cJ} using 106 million psi events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. This is the first observation of chi_{cJ} decays to the final state LambdaLambda bar pi^{+}pi^{-}. The branching ratio of the intermediate process chi_{cJ}-->Sigma(1385)^{+/-} bar{Sigma}(1385)^{-/+} is also measured for the first time, and the results agree with the theoretical predictions based on the color-octet effect.
Hadronic transitions of $chi_{cJ}to eta_{c}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ (J=0, 1, 2) are searched for using a sample of $1.06times 10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The $etac$ is reconstructed with $K_{S}^{0}K^{+}pi^{-}+c.c.$ and $K^{+}K^{-}pi^{0}$ final states. No signals are observed in any of the three $chi_{cJ}$ states in either $etac$ decay mode. At the 90% confidence level, the upper limits are determined to be $BR(chi_{c0}to eta_{c}pi^{+}pi^{-})<0.07%$, $BR(chi_{c1}to eta_{c}pi^{+}pi^{-})<0.32%$, and $BR(chi_{c2}to eta_{c}pi^{+}pi^{-})<0.54%$. The upper limit of $BR(chi_{c1}to eta_{c}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ is lower than the existing theoretical prediction by almost an order of magnitude. The branching fractions of $chi_{cJ}to K_{S}^{0}K^{+}pi^{-}pi^{+}pi^{-}+c.c.$, $K^{+}K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$, $omega K^{+}K^{-}$ and $phipi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}$ (J=0, 1, 2) are measured for the first time.
Using a data sample of $(448.1pm2.9)times10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII), we observe the decays $chi_{cJ}to phiphieta~(J=0,~1,~2)$, where the $chi_{cJ}$ are produced via the radiative processes $psi(3686)togammachi_{cJ}$. The branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal B(chi_{c0}tophiphieta)=(8.41pm0.74pm0.62)times10^{-4}$, $mathcal B(chi_{c1}tophiphieta)=(2.96pm0.43pm0.22)times 10^{-4}$, and $mathcal B(chi_{c2} to phiphieta)=(5.33pm0.52pm0.39) times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. We also search for intermediate states in the $phiphi$ or $etaphi$ combinations, but no significant structure is seen due to the limited statistics.
Decays $chi_{cJ}~(J=0,1,2)toomegaphi$ are studied using $(448.1pm2.9)times 10^{6} ~psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector in 2009 and 2012. In addition to the previously established $chi_{c0}toomegaphi$, first observation of $chi_{c1} to omega phi$ is reported in this paper. The measured product branching fractions are ${cal{B}}(psi(3686)togammachi_{c0})times{cal{B}}(chi_{c0}toomegaphi)=(13.83pm 0.70pm 1.01)times10^{-6}$ and ${cal{B}}(psi(3686)togammachi_{c1})times{cal{B}}(chi_{c1}toomegaphi)=(2.67pm 0.31pm 0.27)times10^{-6}$, and the absolute branching fractions are ${cal{B}}(chi_{c0}toomegaphi)=(13.84pm 0.70pm 1.08)times10^{-5}$ and ${cal{B}}(chi_{c1}toomegaphi)=(2.80pm 0.32pm 0.30)times10^{-5}$. We also find a strong evidence for $chi_{c2}toomegaphi$ with a statistical significance of 4.8$sigma$, and the corresponding product and absolute branching fractions are measured to be ${cal{B}}(psi(3686)togammachi_{c2})times{cal{B}}(chi_{c2}toomegaphi)=(0.91pm0.23pm0.12)times10^{-6} $ and ${cal{B}}(chi_{c2}toomegaphi)=(1.00pm0.25pm0.14)times10^{-5}$. Here, the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.
By analyzing $4.48times10^8$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we observe the decays $chi_{cJ} to n K^0_SbarLambda + c.c.$ ($J=0$, 1, 2) for the first time, via the radiative transition $psi(3686) to gamma chi_{cJ}$. The branching fractions are determined to be $(6.67 pm 0.26_{rm stat} pm 0.41_{rm syst})times10^{-4}$, $(1.71 pm 0.12_{rm stat} pm 0.12_{rm syst})times10^{-4}$, and $(3.66 pm 0.17_{rm stat} pm 0.23_{rm syst})times10^{-4}$ for $J=0$, 1, and 2, respectively.
Based on $4.481times10^8$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the branching fraction of the isospin violating decay $psi(3686)rightarrowbar{Sigma}^{0}Lambda+c.c.$ is measured to be $(1.60 pm 0.31 pm 0.13~pm~0.58) times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is the uncertainty arising from interference with the continuum. This result is significantly smaller than the measurement based on CLEO-c data sets. The decays $chi_{cJ} rightarrowLambdabar{Lambda}$ are measured via $psi(3686)rightarrowgammachi_{cJ}$, and the branching fractions are determined to be $mathcal{B}left(chi_{c0}rightarrowLambdabar{Lambda}right)=(3.64 pm 0.10 pm 0.10 pm 0.07)times 10^{-4}$, $mathcal{B}left(chi_{c1}rightarrowLambdabar{Lambda}right)=(1.31pm0.06 pm 0.06 pm0.03)times 10^{-4}$, $mathcal{B}left(chi_{c2}rightarrowLambdabar{Lambda}right)=(1.91pm0.08 pm 0.17 pm0.04)times 10^{-4}$, where the third uncertainties are systematic due to the $psi(3686) rightarrow gamma chi_{c J}$ branching fractions.
