Abstract

Non-DD¯ decay ψ(3770)→ρπ is searched for using a data sample of (17.3±0.5) pb−1 taken at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV by the BESII detector at the BEPC. No ρπ signal is observed, and the upper limit of the cross section is measured to be σ(e+e−→ρπ)<6.0 pb at 90% C. L. Considering the interference between the continuum amplitude and the ψ(3770) resonance amplitude, the branching fraction of ψ(3770) decays to ρπ is determined to be B(ψ(3770)→ρπ)∈(6.0×10−6,2.4×10−3) at 90% C. L. This is in agreement with the prediction of the S- and D-wave mixing scheme of the charmonium states for solving the “ρπ puzzle” between J/ψ and ψ(2S) decays.Received 21 July 2005DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.72.072007©2005 American Physical Society
