Study of η′ → π+π−l+l− decays at BESIII (in EN)
With a sample of (10087±44)×106J/ψevents accumulated with the BESIII detector, we analyze the decaysη′→ π+π−l+l−(l=e, μ) via the processJ/ψ → γη′. The branching fractions are measured to be$$$$ \mathcal{B} $$$$ (η′→ π+π−e+e−) = (2.45±0.02(stat.)±0.08(syst.))×10−3and$$$$ \mathcal{B} $$$$ (η′→ π+π−μ+μ−) = (2.16±0.12(stat.)±0.06(syst.))×10−5, and the ratio is$$$$ \frac{\mathcal{B}\left({\eta}^{\prime}\to {\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{-}{e}^{+}{e}^{-}\right)}{\mathcal{B}\left({\eta}^{\prime}\to {\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{-}{\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\right)}=113.4\pm 0.9\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)\pm 3.7\left(\textrm{syst}.\right) $$$$ . In addition, by combining theη′ →π+π−e+e−andη′ →π+π−μ+μ−decays, the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor is measured to bebη′ = 1.30 ± 0.19 (GeV/c2)−2, which is consistent with previous measurements from BESIII and theoretical predictions from the VMD model. The asymmetry in the angle between theπ+π−andl+l−decay planes, which has the potential to reveal theCP-violation originating from an unconventional electric dipole transition, is also investigated. The asymmetry parameters are determined to be$$$$ {\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({\eta}^{\prime}\to {\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{-}{e}^{+}{e}^{-}\right)=\left(-0.21\pm 0.73\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.01\left(\textrm{syst}.\right)\right)\% $$$$ and$$$$ {\mathcal{A}}_{CP}\left({\eta}^{\prime}\to {\pi}^{+}{\pi}^{-}{\mu}^{+}{\mu}^{-}\right)=\left(0.62\pm 4.71\left(\textrm{stat}.\right)\pm 0.08\left(\textrm{syst}.\right)\right)\% $$$$ , implying that no evidence ofCP-violation is observed at the present statistics. Finally, an axion-like particle is searched for via the decayη′ →π+π−a, a→e+e−, and upper limits of the branching fractions are presented for the mass assumptions of the axion-like particle in the range of 0−500 MeV/c2.
