Measurement of the Born cross section for 𝑒 + 𝑒 − → 𝜂ℎ 𝑐 at center-of-mass energies between 4.1 and 4.6 GeV
We measure the Born cross section for the reaction 𝑒 + 𝑒 − → 𝜂ℎ 𝑐 from $\sqrt{𝑠}$ = 4.129 to 4.600 GeV using datasets collected by the BESIII detector running at the BEPCII collider. A resonant structure in the cross-section line shape near 4.200 GeV is observed with a statistical significance of 7𝜎. The parameters of this resonance are measured to be 𝑀 = 4188.8 ± 4.7 ± 8.0 MeV/𝑐 2 and Γ = 49 ± 16 ± 19 MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.
