In this paper, we present a detailed next-to-leading-order (NLO) study of $J/psi$ angular distributions in $e^{+}e^{-} to J/psi+eta_c,chi_{cJ}$ ($J=0,1,2$) within the nonrelativistic QCD factorization (NRQCD). The numerical NLO expressions for total and differential cross sections, i.e., $frac{dsigma}{dcostheta}=A+Bcos^2theta$, are both derived. With the inclusion of the newly-calculated QCD corrections to $A$ and $B$, the $alpha_{theta}(= B/A)$ parameters in $J/psi+chi_{c0}$ and $J/psi+chi_{c1}$ are moderately enhanced, while the magnitude of ${alpha_theta}_{J/psi+chi_{c2}}$ is significantly reduced; regarding the production of $J/psi+eta_c$, the $alpha_theta$ value remains unchanged. By comparing with experiment, we find the predicted ${alpha_theta}_{J/psi+eta_c}$ is in good agreement with the $textrm{B}scriptsize{textrm{ELLE}}$ measurement; however, ${alpha_theta}_{J/psi+chi_{c0}}$ is still totally incompatible with the experimental result, and this discrepancy seems to hardly be cured by proper choices of the charm-quark mass, the renormalization scale, and the NRQCD matrix elements.
Using $4.479 times 10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$. The decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$ are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions are $mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}) = (11.7 pm 2.5 pm 1.0)times10^{-4}$, $(8.6 pm 0.3 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, $(6.9 pm 0.5 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, and $mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi) = (1.51 pm 0.30 pm 0.13)times10^{-4}$, $(3.73 pm 0.09 pm 0.25)times10^{-3}$, $(2.48 pm 0.08 pm 0.16)times10^{-3}$. The ratios of the branching fractions $frac{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2})}{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow gammachi_{c0,1,2})}$ and $frac{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi)}{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow gamma J/psi)}$ are also reported.
We report the results of a search for the $X(1835)$ state in the process $e^+e^-to J/psi+X(1835)$ using a data sample of 672 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector at and near the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. No significant evidence is found for this process, and an upper limit is set on its cross section times the branching fraction: $sigma_{rm Born}(e^+e^- to J/psi X(1835)) cdot$ {${cal B}(X(1835)to ge 3$ charged tracks)} $< 1.3 {rm fb}$ at 90% confidence level.
Using a 478 pb$^{-1}$ data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, the production of $e^{+}e^{-}to eta Jpsi$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of greater than $10sigma$. The Born cross section is measured to be $(32.1pm 2.8 pm 1.3)$ pb, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Assuming the $eta Jpsi$ signal is from a hadronic transition of the $psi(4040)$, the fractional transition rate is determined to be ${cal B}(psi(4040)to eta Jpsi)=(5.2pm 0.5pm 0.2pm 0.5)times 10^{-3}$, where the first, second, and third errors are statistical, systematic, and the uncertainty from the $psi(4040)$ resonant parameters, respectively. The production of $e^{+}e^{-} to pi^0 Jpsi$ is searched for, but no significant signal is observed, and ${cal B}(psi(4040)to pi^0 Jpsi) < 2.8 times 10^{-4}$ is obtained at the 90% confidence level.
We study the process e+e- to pi+pi-J/psi at a center-of-mass energy of 4.260 GeV using a 525 pb^{-1} data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross section is measured to be (62.9pm 1.9pm 3.7) pb, consistent with the production of the Y(4260). We observe a structure at around 3.9 GeV/c^2 in the pi^pm J/psi mass spectrum, which we refer to as the Z_c(3900). If interpreted as a new particle, it is unusual in that it carries an electric charge and couples to charmonium. A fit to the pi^pm J/psi invariant mass spectrum, neglecting interference, results in a mass of (3899.0pm 3.6pm 4.9) MeV/c^2 and a width of (46pm 10pm 20) MeV. Its production ratio is measured to be R=frac{sigma(e+e- to pi^pm Z_c(3900)^mp to pi+pi-J/psi))} {sigma(e+e- to pi+pi-J/psi)}=(21.5pm 3.3pm 7.5)%. In all measurements the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic.
Predictions for $e^+e^-to J/psi eta_c$ from previous studies are made by taking charmonia as a nonrelativistic bound state and by using nonrelativistic QCD(NRQCD) approach. The predicted cross-section is smaller by an order of magnitude than the experimentally observed. We study the process by taking charm quark as a light quark and use light-cone wave-functions to parameterize nonperturbative effects related to charmonia. The total cross section of $e^+e^-to J/psi eta_c$ can be predicted, if these wave-functions are known. Motivated by studies of light-cone wave-functions of light hadrons, we make a reasonable assumption of the forms of light-cone wave-functions. With these light-cone wave-functions we can obtain the cross section which is more closer to the experimentally observed than that from NRQCD approach. We also discuss in detail the difference between two approaches.
