Evidence for the decay ψ (3770 )→K+K-
Abstract
Existing data on the e+e-→K+K- cross section at the center-of-mass energy above 2.6 GeV are fitted with a sum of ψ (3770 ) resonant and continuum contributions. Two solutions for the resonance production cross section are found with a significance of 3.2 σ . Data on the e+e-→KSKL cross section are used to resolve the ambiguity and to further constrain the values of the e+e-→ψ (3770 )→K+K- cross section and the interference phase. They are found to be σψ (3770 )=0.07 3-0.044+0.061 pb and ϕ =(30 9-35+17)° , respectively. The same fitting procedure for the ψ (4160 ) resonance leads to the upper limit on the e+e-→ψ (4160 )→K+K- cross section σψ (4160 )<0.062 pb at the 90% confidence level.
