Search for the Decay ${\rm Y}(1S)\to \gamma {\eta }^{{}^{\prime }}$

Abstract

We report on a search for the radiative decay U(1S) -> gamma + eta' in 61.3 pb^-1 of data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Three decay chains were investigated, all involving eta' -> pi+ pi- + eta, followed by eta -> gamma + gamma, eta -> pi0 + pi0 + pi0, or eta -> pi+ + pi- + pi0. We find no candidate events in any of the three cases and set a combined upper limit of 1.6 x 10^-5 at 90% C.L., significantly smaller than the previous limit. We compare our result to other radiative U(1S) decays, to radiative J/psi decays, and to theoretical predictions.
