We search for invisible decays of the Υ (1S) meson using a sample of 91.4 × 10 6 Υ (3S) mesons collected at the BABAR/PEP-II B Factory. We select events containing the decay Υ (3S) → π + π − Υ (1S) and search for evidence of an undetectable Υ (1S) decay recoiling against the dipion system. We set an upper limit on the branching fraction B(Υ (1S) → invisible) < 3.0 × 10 −4 at the 90% confidence level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
