Based on a sample of etapr mesons produced in the radiative decay $J/psitogammaeta^{prime}$ in $1.31times 10^9$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decay $eta^{prime}toomega e^{+} e^{-}$ is observed for the first time, with a statistical significance of $8sigma$. The branching fraction is measured to be $mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}toomega e^{+} e^{-})=(1.97pm0.34(text{stat})pm0.17(text{syst}))times10^{-4}$, which is in agreement with theoretical predictions. The branching fraction of $eta^{prime}toomegagamma$ is also measured to be $(2.55pm0.03(text{stat})pm0.16(text{syst}))times10^{-2}$, which is the most precise measurement to date, and the relative branching fraction $frac{mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}to omega e^{+}e^{-})}{mathcal{B}(eta^{prime}to omega gamma)}$ is determined to be $(7.71pm1.34(text{stat})pm0.54(text{syst}))times10^{-3}$.
A search for the rare decay $eta^{prime} to e^+e^-$ has been performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The inverse reaction $e^+e^- to eta^{prime}$ and $eta^{prime}$ five decay chains have been used for this search. The upper limit $Gamma_{eta^{prime} to e^+e^-}<0.002$ eV at the 90% confidence level has been set. A sensitivity of SND in a search for $eta to e^+e^-$ decay has been studied. For this perpose we have analyzed a data sample with an integrated luminosity of 108 nb$^{-1}$ collected in the center-of-mass energy range 520-580 MeV. There are no background events for the reaction $e^+e^- to eta$ with decay $eta to pi^0pi^0pi^0$ have been found. In the absence of background, a sensitivity to $B(eta to e^+e^-)$ of 10$^{-6}$ can be reached during two weeks of VEPP-2000 operation.
Using a data sample of $448.1 times 10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the electromagnetic Dalitz decay $psi(3686) to eta e^+ e^-$, with significances of 7.0$sigma$ and 6.3$sigma$ when reconstructing the $eta$ meson via its decay modes $etatogamma pi^+ pi^-$ and $etatopi^+pi^-eta$ ($eta to gammagamma$), respectively. The weighted average branching fraction is determined to be $mathcal{B}(psi(3686) to eta e^+ e^-)= (1.90 pm 0.25 pm 0.11) times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
We report the first observation of the rare eta->e+e-e+e- decay based on 1.7 fb^{-1} collected by the KLOE experiment at the DAFNE phi-factory. The selection of the e+e-e+e- final state is fully inclusive of radiation. We have identified 362 +- 29 events resulting in a branching ratio of (2.4 +- 0.2_stat+bckg +- 0.1_syst) x 10^{-5}.
We report the first observation of the Dalitz decay $eta to gamma e^+e^-$, based on a data sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The $eta$ mesons are produced via the $J/psi to gamma eta$ decay process. The ratio $Gamma(eta to gamma e^+ e^-)/Gamma(etatogammagamma)$ is measured to be $(2.13pm0.09(text{stat.})pm0.07(text{sys.}))times10^{-2}$. This corresponds to a branching fraction ${cal B}(eta to gamma e^+e^-)= (4.69 pm0.20(text{stat.})pm0.23(text{sys.}))times10^{-4}$. The transition form factor is extracted and different expressions are compared to the measured dependence on the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass. The results are consistent with the prediction of the Vector Meson Dominance model.
The process $e^{+}e^{-}to eta^{prime} J/psi$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of $8.6sigma$ at center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 4.226$ GeV and $7.3sigma$ at $sqrt{s} = 4.258$ GeV using data samples collected with the BESIII detector. The Born cross sections are measured to be $(3.7 pm 0.7 pm 0.3)$ and $(3.9 pm 0.8 pm 0.3)$ pb at $sqrt{s} = 4.226$ and $4.258$ GeV, respectively, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. Upper limits at the 90% confidence level of the Born cross sections are also reported at other 12 energy points.
