Abstract

With a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.5 fb−1 collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, for the first time the light hadron decay χc1(3872)→π+π−η is searched for. While no significant signal is observed, the upper limits at the 90% confidence level for σ[e+e−→γχc1(3872)]B[χc1(3872)→π+π−η] at center of mass energies from 4.13 GeV to 4.34 GeV are determined. By normalizing to the χc1(3872)→π+π−J/ψ decay channel, a 90% confidence level upper limit for the branching fraction ratio R=B[χc1(3872)→π+π−η]/B[χc1(3872)→π+π−J/ψ]<0.12 is given. These measurements provide important inputs for understanding the internal structure of the χc1(3872) resonance. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
