Using a data sample of 2.59×10⁷ ψ(2S) decays obtained with the CLEO-c detector, we perform amplitude analyses of the complementary decay chains ψ(2S)→γχ c1 ; χ c1 →ηπ⁺π⁻ and ψ(2S)→γχ c1 ; χ c1 →η'π⁺π⁻. We find evidence for an exotic P-wave η'π amplitude, which, if interpreted as a resonance, would have parameters consistent with the π₁(1600) state reported in other production mechanisms. We also make the first observation of the decay a₀(980)→η'π and measure the ratio of branching fractions B(a₀(980)→η'π)/B(a₀(980)→ηπ)=0.064±0.014±0.014. The ππ spectrum produced with a recoiling η is compared to that with η' recoil.

Studies of D⁺→{η',η,Φ}e⁺ν e

We report the first observation of the decay D⁺→η'e⁺ν e in two analyses, which combined provide a branching fraction of B(D⁺→η'e⁺ν e )=(2.16±0.53±0.07)×10⁻⁴. We also provide an improved measurement of B(D⁺→ηe⁺ν e )=(11.4±0.9±0.4)×10⁻⁴, provide the first form factor measurement, and set the improved upper limit B(D⁺→Φe⁺ν e )<0.9×10⁻⁴ (90%C.L.).
