Title: Measurement of the branching ratio and polarization for J/psi. --> gamma. f(1270)

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The decay J/psi..--> gamma..f(1270), f(1270)..--> pi../sup 0/..pi../sup 0/ has been studied. The ..gamma..f decay branching ratio is measured to be (1.48 +- 0.25 +- 0.30) x 10/sup -3/. A fit to the f production and decay angular distributions yields the values A/sub 1//A/sub 0/ = 0.88 +- 0.13 and A/sub 2//A/sub 0/ = 0.04 +- 0.19, where A/sub lambda/ are the f helicity amplitudes. These results disagree with the values predicted from a QCD two-gluon-exchange model.
