${\chi }_{c1}$ and ${\chi }_{c2}$ resonance parameters with the decays ${\chi }_{c1,c2}\to J/\psi {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$

Abstract

The decays ${\chi }_{c1}\to J/\psi {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ and ${\chi }_{c2}\to J/\psi {\mu }^{+}{\mu }^{-}$ are observed and used to study the resonance parameters of the ${\chi }_{c1}$ and ${\chi }_{c2}$ mesons. The masses of these states are measured to be m(χ_{c1}) = 3510.71 \pm 0.04(stat) \pm 0.09(syst)MeV\,, m(χ_{c2}) = 3556.10 \pm 0.06(stat) \pm 0.11(syst)MeV\,, where the knowledge of the momentum scale for charged particles dominates the systematic uncertainty. The momentum-scale uncertainties largely cancel in the mass difference m(χ_{c2}) - m(χ_{c1}) = 45.39 \pm 0.07(stat) \pm 0.03(syst)MeV\,. The natural width of the ${\chi }_{c2}$ meson is measured to be $$\Gamma ({\chi }_{c2})=2.10\pm 0.20(stat)\pm 0.02(syst)MeV.$$ These results are in good agreement with and have comparable precision to the current world averages.
