Measurements of {psi}(2S) decays into {phi}{pi}{sup 0}, {phi}{eta}, {phi}{eta}{sup '}, {omega}{eta}, and {omega}{eta}{sup '}

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D, Particles Fields
Decays of the {psi}(2S) into vector plus pseudoscalar meson final states have been studied with 14x10{sup 6} {psi}(2S) events collected with the BESII detector. Branching fractions of {psi}(2S){yields}{phi}{eta}, {phi}{eta}{sup '}, and {omega}{eta}{sup '}, and upper limits of {psi}(2S){yields}{phi}{pi}{sup 0} and {omega}{eta} are obtained: B({psi}(2S){yields}{phi}{eta})=(3.3{+-}1.1{+-}0.5)x10{sup -5}, B({psi}(2S){yields}{phi}{eta}{sup '})=(3.1{+-}1.4{+-}0.7)x10{sup -5}, and B({psi}(2S){yields}{omega}{eta}{sup '})=(3.2{sub -2.0}{sup +2.4}{+-}0.7)x10{sup -5}; and B({psi}(2S){yields}{phi}{pi}{sup 0})<0.40x10{sup -5}, and B({psi}(2S){yields}{omega}{eta})<3.1x10{sup -5} at the 90% C.L. These results are used to test the perturbative QCD ''12% rule.''.
