The production of J/ψ mesons in continuum e+e- annihilations has been studied with the BABAR detector at energies near the ϒ(4S) resonance. The mesons are distinguished from J/ψ production in B decays through their center-of-mass momentum and energy. We measure the cross section e+e-→J/ψX to be 2.52±0.21±0.21 pb. We set a 90% C.L. upper limit on the branching fraction for direct ϒ(4S)→J/ψX decays at 4.7×10-4.

Abstract

The production of J/ψ mesons in continuum e+e- annihilations has been studied with the BABAR detector at energies near the ϒ(4S) resonance. The mesons are distinguished from J/ψ production in B decays through their center-of-mass momentum and energy. We measure the cross section e+e-→J/ψX to be 2.52±0.21±0.21 pb. We set a 90% C.L. upper limit on the branching fraction for direct ϒ(4S)→J/ψX decays at 4.7×10-4.
