Study of the hadronic decays of [chi][sub c] states
Hadronic decays of the [ital P]-wave spin-triplet charmonium states [chi][sub cJ](J=0,1,2) are studied using a sample of [psi](2S) decays collected by the BES detector operating at the BEPC storage ring. Branching fractions for the decays [chi][sub c1][r arrow]K[sub S][sup 0]K[sup +][pi][sup [minus]]+c.c., [chi][sub c0][r arrow]K[sub S][sup 0]K[sub S][sup 0], [chi][sub c2][r arrow]K[sub S][sup 0]K[sub S][sup 0], [chi][sub c0][r arrow][phi][phi], [chi][sub c2][r arrow][phi][phi] and [chi][sub cJ][r arrow]K[sup +]K[sup [minus]]K[sup +]K[sup [minus]] are measured for the first time, and those for [chi][sub cJ][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]], [chi][sub cJ][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]]K[sup +]K[sup [minus]], [chi][sub cJ][r arrow][pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]]p[bar p] and [chi][sub cJ][r arrow]3([pi][sup +][pi][sup [minus]]) are measured with improved precision. In addition, we determine the masses of the [chi][sub c0] and [eta][sub c] to be M[sub [chi][sub c0]]=3414.1[plus minus]0.6(stat)[plus minus]0.8(syst) MeV and M[sub [eta][sub c]]=2975.8[plus minus]3.9(stat)[plus minus]1.2(syst) MeV.
