Search for direct production of the $f_1(1285)$ resonance in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions

Abstract

A search for direct production of the $f_1(1285)$ resonance in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation is performed with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider. The analysis is based on data with an integrated luminosity of 15.1 pb${}^{-1}$ accumulated in the center-of-mass energy range 1.2--1.4 GeV. Two $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to f_1(1285)$ candidate events are found at the peak of the resonance and zero events beyond the resonance. The significance of the $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to f_1(1285)$ signal is $2.5\sigma$. The cross section at the maximum of the resonance is found to be $\sigma (e^{+}{e}^{-}\to f_1)=45_{-24}^{+33}$ pb. The corresponding branching fraction $B(f_1(1285)\to e^{+}{e}^{-})=(5.1_{-2.7}^{+3.7})\times 10^{-9}$. We consider this result as a first indication of the process $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to f_1(1285)$. The measured branching fraction is consistent with the theoretical prediction.
