New precision measurement of the J/ψ- and ψ'-meson masses

Description

A new high precision measurement of the J/ψ- and ψ/'-meson masses has been performed at the VEPP-4M collider using the KEDR detector. The resonant depolarization method has been employed for the absolute calibration of the beam energy. The following mass values have been obtained:MJ/ψ = 3096.917 ± 0.010 ± 0.007 MeV, Mψ'= 3686.111 ± 0.025 ± 0.009 MeV. The relative measurement accuracy has reached 4·10-6 for J/ψ and 7·10-6 for ψ', approximately 3 times better than in the previous precise experiments. The description of the experiment and the error analysis can be found in hep-ex/0306050, Phys. Lett. B573 (2003) 63-79
