Search for the $0^{--}$ Glueball in $\hat{I}\yen (1S)$ and $\hat{I}\yen (2S)$ decays

Abstract

We report the first search for the $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ glueball in $\hat{I}\yen (1S)$ and $\hat{I}\yen (2S)$ decays with data samples of $(102\pm 2)$ million and $(158\pm 4)$ million events, respectively, collected with the Belle detector. No significant signals are observed in any of the proposed production modes, and the 90\% credibility level upper limits on their branching fractions in $\hat{I}\yen (1S)$ and $\hat{I}\yen (2S)$ decays are obtained. The inclusive branching fractions of the $\hat{I}\yen (1S)$ and $\hat{I}\yen (2S)$ decays into final states with a $\ddot{I}{‡}_{c1}$ are measured to be $\BR(Î¥(1S)\to χ_{c1}+ anything) = (1.90\pm 0.43(stat.)\pm 0.14(syst.))\times 10^{-4}$ with an improved precision over prior measurements and $\BR(Î¥(2S)\to χ_{c1}+ anything) = (2.24\pm 0.44(stat.)\pm 0.20(syst.))\times 10^{-4}$ for the first time.
