$e^+e^-\to e^+e^-\eta_c$ via intermediate photons at 10.58 GeV
Experiment: BABAR (PEPII)
Inspire ID: 845914
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Peter Richardson
References:
  • Phys.Rev.D 81 (2010) 052010
Beams: e+ e-
Beam energies: (5.3, 5.3) GeV
Run details:
  • e+ e- > e+e- eta_c via photon photon -> eta_c

Measurement of the cross section for the production of $\eta_c$ in photon-photon collisions, i.e. $e^+e^-\to \gamma\gamma e^+e^-$ followed by $\gamma\gamma\to\eta_c$, by the BABAR experiment at 10.58 GeV. The results in the paper were divided by the PDG 2020 value for the branching ratio of $\eta_c\to K\bar{K}\pi=7.3\pm0.4\%$ to obtain the total cross section. This measurement is differential in the virtuality of one of the photons.
