$chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ resonance parameters with the decays $chi_{c1,c2}to J/psimu^+mu^-$


Abstract in English

The decays $chi_{c1} rightarrow J/psi mu^+ mu^-$ and $chi_{c2} rightarrow J/psi mu^+ mu^-$ are observed and used to study the resonance parameters of the $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ mesons. The masses of these states are measured to be m(chi_{c1}) = 3510.71 pm 0.04(stat) pm 0.09(syst)MeV,, m(chi_{c2}) = 3556.10 pm 0.06(stat) pm 0.11(syst)MeV,, where the knowledge of the momentum scale for charged particles dominates the systematic uncertainty. The momentum-scale uncertainties largely cancel in the mass difference m(chi_{c2}) - m(chi_{c1}) = 45.39 pm 0.07(stat) pm 0.03(syst)MeV,. The natural width of the $chi_{c2}$ meson is measured to be $$Gamma(chi_{c2}) = 2.10 pm 0.20(stat) pm 0.02(syst)MeV,.$$ These results are in good agreement with and have comparable precision to the current world averages.
