Abstract: (APS)
Using 1310.6×106  J/ψ and 447.9×106  ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e+e- collider, the branching fractions and the angular distributions of J/ψ and ψ(3686) decays to ΛΛ¯ and Σ0Σ¯0 final states are measured. The branching fractions are determined, with much improved precision, to be 19.43±0.03±0.33, 11.64±0.04±0.23, 3.97±0.02±0.12 and 2.44±0.03±0.11 for J/ψ→ΛΛ¯, J/ψ→Σ0Σ¯0, ψ(3686)→ΛΛ¯ and ψ(3686)→Σ0Σ¯0, respectively. The polar angular distributions of ψ(3686) decays are measured for the first time, while those of J/ψ decays are measured with much improved precision. In addition, the ratios of branching fractions B(ψ(3686)→ΛΛ¯)B(J/ψ→ΛΛ¯) and B(ψ(3686)→Σ0Σ¯0)B(J/ψ→Σ0Σ¯0) are determined to test the “12% rule.”
