Title: Observation of the radiative decay {ital J}/{psi}{r_arrow}{ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}}{gamma}

Journal Article · · Physical Review, D
OSTI ID:397776

We report the first observation of the (radiative) decay {ital J}/{psi}{r_arrow}{ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}}{gamma}. Our data are from an experiment in which {ital J}/{psi} is formed in antiproton-proton annihilations. The observed rate is consistent with a QED calculation based on final state radiation. Our measurement gives a branching ratio for this mode of (8.8{plus_minus}1.3{plus_minus}0.4){times}10{sup {minus}3} for {gamma} energy{gt}100 MeV. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
