First Measurements of $\chi_{cJ}\rightarrow \Sigma^{-} \bar{\Sigma}^{+} (J = 0, 1, 2)$ Decays

Abstract

We measured the branching fractions of the decays $\chi_{cJ}\to\Sigma^{-}\bar{\Sigma}^{+}$ for the first time using the final states $n\bar{n}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$. The data sample exploited here is $448.1\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with BESIII. We find $\mathcal{B}(\chi_{cJ}\rightarrow\Sigma^{-}\bar{\Sigma}^{+}) = (51.3\pm2.4\pm4.1)\times10^{-5},\, (5.7\pm1.4\pm0.6)\times10^{-5},\, \rm{and}~ (4.4\pm1.7\pm0.5)\times10^{-5}$, for $J=0,1,2$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.
