The product of the electronic width of the J/ψ meson and the branching fractions of its decay to hadrons and electrons has been measured using the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M e + e − collider. The obtained values are Γ ee (J/ψ) = 5.550 ± 0.056 ± 0.089 keV, Γ ee (J/ψ) · B hadrons (J/ψ) = 4.884 ± 0.048 ± 0.078 keV, Γ ee (J/ψ) · B ee (J/ψ) = 0.3331 ± 0.0066 ± 0.0040 keV.The uncertainties shown are statistical and systematic, respectively. Using the result presented and the world-average value of the electronic branching fraction, one obtains the total width of the J/ψ meson: Γ = 92.94 ± 1.83 keV.These results are consistent with the previous experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
