Abstract: Based on $(27.12\pm 0.14)\times 10^{8}$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decay $\eta_c (2S) \rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \eta_c$ with $\eta_c\rightarrow K_S^0 K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\eta_c\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{0} ...
Abstract | Based on $(27.12\pm 0.14)\times 10^{8}$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decay $\eta_c (2S) \rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \eta_c$ with $\eta_c\rightarrow K_S^0 K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $\eta_c\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{0}$. No significant signal is observed, and the upper limit on the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(\psi(2S)\rightarrow \gamma \eta_{c}(2S))\times\mathcal{B}$($\eta_c (2S) \rightarrow \pi^{+} \pi^{-} \eta_c$) is determined to be $2.21\times10^{-5}$ at the 90\% confidence level. In addition, the analysis of the process $\psi(2S)\to\gamma \eta_{c}(2S), \eta_{c}(2S)\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}K^{0}_{S}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ gives a clear $\eta_c(2S)$ signal with a statistical significance of $10\sigma$ for the first time, %The product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(\psi(2S)\rightarrow \gamma \eta_{c}(2S))\times\mathcal{B}(\eta_{c}(2S)\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}K^{0}_{S}K\pi) $ is measured to be $(9.31 \pm 0.72 \pm 2.77)\times 10^{-6}$, and and the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(\eta_{c}(2S)\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}K^{0}_{S}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp})$ is determined to be ($1.33 \pm 0.11 \pm 0.4 \pm 0.95 $)$\times 10^{-2}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third uncertainty is due to the quoted $\mathcal{B}(\psi(2S)\rightarrow \gamma \eta_{c}(2S))$.
