Improved description of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 cross section line shape and more stringent constraints on ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0

Abstract

By using the cross sections of e^+e^- \to p\bar{p}π^0 measured at the center-of-mass energies from 3.65 to 4.60 GeV, we find that the line shape well agrees with pure continuum production parametrized by a power law function and the significance of both ψ(3770) and ψ(4230) \to p\bar{p}π^0 is less than 0.4σ. We set more stringent constraints on the charmless decays of the charmonium state, ψ(3770), and the charmoniumlike state, ψ(4230), to p\bar{p}π^0 than in previous measurements. The data are also used to estimate the cross sections of p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(3770) and p\bar{p} \to π^0ψ(4230) that are essential for planning the data taking of the PANDA experiment.
