Slide 3 S.Olsen PICTEL 5/10/96 psi' and J/psi -->omega pi+pi-; omega f_2 (continued) RESULTS: ----omega pi+pi- branching ratio---- Figure 3 shows a fit to the M(pi+pi-pi0) distribution of Fig. 1a (ie the J/psi sample). The fit gives 364.9 +/- 27.4 J/psi-->omega pi+pi- events. Figure 4 shows a fit to the M(pi+pi-pi0) distribution of Fig. 2a (ie the psi' sample). The fit gives 203.2 +/- 19.6 J/psi-->omega pi+pi- events. Thus, using the formula on Slide 2, we get: Br(psi'-->omega pi+pi-) 203.2+/-19.6 ----------------------- = 0.19 x ------------ = 0.106 +/- 0.0013 Br(J/psi-->omega pi+pi-) 364.9+/-27.4 Using the PDG value of Br(J/psi-->omega pi+pi-) = (7.2 +/- 1.0) x 10^{-3}, we get: ********************************************************** * Br(psi'-->omega pi+pi-) = (7.6 +/- 1.4) x 10^{-4} * ********************************************************** This is larger then, but consistent with the Xinhua's result of (5.6 +/- 1.4) x 10^{-4}, ----omega f_2 branching ratio---- Figures 4 and 6 show fits to the M(pi+pi-) distribution of Fig. 1b (ie the J/psi sample) for different background shapes. The fits give 208.8 +/- 23.7 J/psi-->omega f_2 events for a shape that seems to overestimate the back- ground (Fig.5) and 290 +/- 33.7 for a shape that tries to minimize the background. I take the average of these as the number of J/psi->omega f_2 events. Figure 7 shows a fit to the M(pi+pi-) distribution of Fig. 2b (ie the psi' sample). This fit, which gives 24 +/- 17 psi'-->omega f_2 events, gives the most events of the various background shapes I tried. Since a fit without any f_2 gives a similar confidence level, I use this result to establish a 90% CL upper limit of 45 for the number of psi'->omega f_2 events. Thus, using the formula on Slide 2, we get: Br(psi'-->omega f_2) 45 --------------------- < 0.19 x ------ = 0.034 Br(J/psi-->omega F_2) 250 Using the PDG value of Br(J/psi-->omega f_2) = (4.3 +/- 0.6) x 10^{-3}, we get: ********************************************* * Br(psi'-->omega f_2) < 1.4 x 10^{-4} * ********************************************* This is consistent with Xinhua's Br value of (8.1+/-5.3)x10^{-5}
