A determination of the muon pair branching ratio of the γ' meson

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

Using the ARGUS detector at thee + e − storage ring DORIS-II, we have observed the decays of γ(9,460) andΥ'(10,023) into muon pairs. The ratio of the two observed rates determines Bμμ(γ') largely independent of acceptance uncertainties and absolute luminosity calibration, ifB μμ(γ) is known. From data with an integrated luminosity of 6.11/pb on the γ and 9.93/pb on the γ, using the present world averageB μμ(γ)=(2.9±0.2)%, we obtainB μμ(γ)=(1.57±0.59±0.68)%.
