Measurement of Born Cross Sections for e+e- → K+Ξ0Σ̅- at √s = 3.51−4.95 GeV and Observation of ψ(3770) → K+Ξ0Σ̅-
Abstract
Using 44.55 fb−1 of e+e- collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first measurement of the Born cross sections for the e+e- → K+Ξ0Σ̅- reaction at fifty-six center-of-mass energies between 3.51 and 4.95~GeV. A fit to the dressed cross sections reveals the first observation of the ψ(3770) → K+Ξ0Σ̅- process, with a statistical significance of 6.0σ including systematic uncertainties. This result represents the first observation of charmless three-body baryonic decay of a vector charmonium state above the open-charm threshold. No significant signals for other charmonium(-like) states i.e., ψ(4040), ψ(4160), Y(4230), Y(4360), ψ(4415), Y(4500), Y(4660) or Y(4710) are observed, and the upper limits for the product of the branching fraction and the electronic partial width at the 90% confidence level for each assumed charmonium(-like) state are provided. Additionally, the ratios of Born cross sections between this work and the previous measurements of e+e- → K0SΞ̅−Σ- and K-Ξ̅+Σ̅0 are provided, which can be used to validate theoretical predictions related to isospin symmetry.
