arXiv:2505.03180

Abstract

Using collision data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 22.7 fb, collected at center-of-mass energies between 3.7 and 4.7 GeV with the BESIII detector, we present a measurement of energy-dependent cross sections and effective form factors for the process of . By conducting a fit to the cross sections of considering the continuum and resonant contributions, a clear resonant structure in the spectrum around 4.2 GeV is observed for the first time with a statistical significance exceeding 10, and it can be well described with the line shape of the and observed in . Evidence for the decay is observed with a statistical significance of 4.4 by analyzing the measured cross sections together with earlier BESIII results, and the branching fraction is firstly measured to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic.

Major flaw in Section of fit of dressed cross section invalidates the main results
