Abstract
The resonance parameters of the charmonium ground state, ηc(11S0), have been measured by means of the reaction p̄p→ηc→γγ. The mass and total width are determined to be 2984.1 ± 2.1 ± 1.0 MeV/c2 and 20.4-6.7+7.7 ± 2.0 MeV, respectively. The product of branching ratios B(p̄p→ηc)B(ηc→γγ) is determined to be (22.4-3.7+3.8 ± 2.0) × 10-8, from which B(ηc→γγ)=(1.87-0.31-0.50 +0.32+0.95) × 10-4, and Γ(ηc→γγ)=3.8-1.0-1.0 +1.1+1.9 keV are derived using B(ηc→p̄p)= (12 ± 4) × 10-4 from the literature.
