Özet
Using ð10087 ± 44Þ × 106 J=ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the decay ηc → Ξ0Ξ̄0. The interference between J=ψ → γηc → γΞ0Ξ̄0 and J=ψ → γΞ0Ξ̄0jnon−resonance is considered in the Ξ0Ξ̄0 mass spectrum fits. The branching fractions are measured to be Bðηc → Ξ0Ξ̄0Þ ¼ ð1.33 ± 0.03 ± 0.18Þ × 10−3 for the constructive interference and Bðηc → Ξ0Ξ̄0Þ ¼ ð1.63 ± 0.04 ± 0.21Þ × 10−3 for the destructive interference, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
