Description

As part of the charmonium formation experiment at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings, we studied the reaction panti p → canti c → γγ in an antiproton momentum scan through the ηc, χ1, and χ2 regions. We report events observed in the ηc and χ2 regions, whilst no event was observed in the χ1 region, as expected for a spin-1 state. (orig.)
