Abstract: (Springer)
Using a sample of 1.31×109 J/ψ1.31\times 10^{9} ~J/\psi events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a study of J/ψγKKˉηJ/\psi \rightarrow \gamma K{\bar{K}}\eta '. X(2370) is observed in the KKˉηK{\bar{K}}\eta ' invariant-mass distribution with a statistical significance of 8.3σ8.3\sigma . Its resonance parameters are measured to be M=2341.6±6.5(stat.)±5.7(syst.) MeV/c2M=2341.6\pm 6.5 \, \text {(stat.)} \pm 5.7 \, \text {(syst.)}~ \hbox {MeV}/c^{2} and Γ=117±10(stat.)±8(syst.) MeV\Gamma = 117\pm 10 \, \text {(stat.)}\pm 8 \, \text {(syst.)}~\hbox {MeV}. The product branching fractions for J/ψγX(2370),X(2370)K+KηJ/\psi \rightarrow \gamma X(2370),X(2370)\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}\eta ' and J/ψγX(2370),X(2370)KS0KS0ηJ/\psi \rightarrow \gamma X(2370),X(2370)\rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K_{S}^{0}\eta ' are determined to be (1.79±0.23(stat.)±0.65(syst.))×105(1.79\pm 0.23\, \text {(stat.)}\pm 0.65\,\text {(syst.)})\times 10^{-5} and (1.18±0.32(stat.)±0.39(syst.))×105(1.18\pm 0.32\, \text {(stat.)}\pm 0.39\, \text {(syst.)})\times 10^{-5}, respectively. No evident signal for X(2120) is observed in the KKˉηK{\bar{K}}\eta ' invariant-mass distribution. The upper limits for the product branching fractions of B(J/ψγX(2120)γK+Kη){\mathcal {B}}(J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma X(2120)\rightarrow \gamma K^{+} K^{-} \eta ') and B(J/ψγX(2120)γKS0KS0η){\mathcal {B}}(J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma X(2120)\rightarrow \gamma K_{S}^{0} K_{S}^{0} \eta ') are determined to be 1.49×1051.49\times 10^{-5} and 6.38×1066.38\times 10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level, respectively.
