Measurement of two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1 P ) in γγ → χ c2 (1 P ) → J/ψγ at Belle
We report the measurement of the two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1P) in two-photon processes at the Belle experiment. We analyze the process γγ → χ c2 (1P) → J/ψγ, J/ψ → ℓ + ℓ - (ℓ = e or μ) using a data sample of 971 fb -1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e + e - collider. In this analysis, the product of the two-photon decay width of χ c2 (1P) and the branching fraction is determined to be ${\Gamma}_{\gamma \gamma}({\chi}_{c2}(1P))\mathcal{B}({\chi}_{c2}(1P)\to J/\psi \gamma) \mathcal{B} (J/\psi \to {\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-})=$ 14.8 ± 0.3(stat.) ± 0.7(syst.) eV, which corresponds to Γ γγ (χ c2 (1P)) = 653 ± 13(stat.) ± 31(syst.) ± 17(B.R.) eV, where the third uncertainty is from $\mathcal{B}$ (χ c2 (1P) → J/ψγ) and $\mathcal{B}$ (J/ψ → ℓ + ℓ - ).
