Observation of resonance structures in $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}{\psi }_2(3823)$ and mass measurement of ${\psi }_2(3823)$

Abstract

Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.3 $\mathrm{f}{\mathrm{b}}^{-1}$ collected at center-of-mass energies from $4.23$ to $4.70$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the product of the $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}{\psi }_2(3823)$ cross section and the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}[{\psi }_2(3823)\to \gamma {\chi }_{c1}]$. For the first time, resonance structure is observed in the cross section line shape of $e^{+}{e}^{-}\to {\pi }^{+}{\pi }^{-}{\psi }_2(3823)$ with significances exceeding $5\sigma$. A fit to data with two coherent Breit-Wigner resonances modeling the $\sqrt{s}$-dependent cross section yields $M(R_1)=4406.9\pm 17.2\pm 4.5$ MeV/$c^2$, $\Gamma (R_1)=128.1\pm 37.2\pm 2.3$ MeV, and $M(R_2)=4647.9\pm 8.6\pm 0.8$ MeV/$c^2$, $\Gamma (R_2)=33.1\pm 18.6\pm 4.1$ MeV. Though weakly disfavored by the data, a single resonance with $M(R)=4417.5\pm 26.2\pm 3.5$ MeV/$c^2$, $\Gamma (R)=245\pm 48\pm 13$ MeV is also possible to interpret data. This observation deepens our understanding of the nature of the vector charmoniumlike states. The mass of the ${\psi }_2(3823)$ state is measured as $(3823.12\pm 0.43\pm 0.13)$ MeV/$c^2$, which is the most precise measurement to date.
