Search for Baryonic Decays of ψ(3770) and ψ(4040)

Abstract

By analyzing data samples of 2.9 fb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=3.773 GeV, 482 pb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=4.009 GeV and 67 pb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=3.542, 3.554, 3.561, 3.600 and 3.650 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we search for ψ(3770) and ψ(4040) decay to baryonic final states, including Λ\barΛπ^+π^-, Λ\barΛπ^0, Λ\barΛη, Σ^+ \barΣ^-, Σ^0 \barΣ^0, Ξ^-\barΞ^+ and Ξ^0\barΞ^0 decays. None are observed, and upper limits are set at the 90% confidence level.
