Abstract

The cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}$ are measured at fifteen center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ from $2.00$ to $3.08~{\rm GeV}$ with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII). The results are found to be consistent with those obtained by BaBar. A resonant structure around $2.2~{\rm GeV}$ is observed, with a mass and width of $2273.7 \pm 5.7 \pm 19.3~{\rm MeV}/c^2$ and $86 \pm 44 \pm 51~{\rm MeV}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The product of its radiative width ($\Gamma_{e^+e^-}$) with its branching fraction to $K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}$ ($Br_{K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}}$) is $0.9 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.7~{\rm eV}$.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Among the light unflavored mesons, the strangeoniumlike state φð2170Þ is interesting. We note that the observed peak at 2.2 GeV in the eþe− → KþK− channel is found to be compatible with the φð2170Þ resonance parameters once one accounts in the fit of the BESIII cross section data for a possible interference between the direct coupling and the vector resonance intermediate contribution [38]. Considering the interferences between resonance and nonresonance contributions, additional information from other processes, such as eþe− → K0SK0L, is needed. This process has been investigated in the past by the DM1 [40], OLYa [41], CDM2 [42–44], SND [45,46] and BABAR [37,47].
