Abstract: (APS)
Using data samples with an integrated luminosity of 5.85fb-1 collected at center-of-mass energies from 4.61 to 4.95 GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, we measure the cross section for the process e+e-K+K-J/ψ. A new resonance with a mass of M=4708-15+17±21MeV/c2 and a width of Γ=126-23+27±30MeV is observed in the energy-dependent line shape of the e+e-K+K-J/ψ cross section with a significance over 5σ. The K+J/ψ system is also investigated to search for charged charmoniumlike states, but no significant Zcs+ states are observed. Upper limits on the Born cross sections for e+e-K-Zcs(3985)+/K-Zcs(4000)++c.c. with Zcs(3985)±/Zcs(4000)±K±J/ψ are reported at 90% confidence levels. The ratio of branching fractions {[B(Zcs(3985)+K+J/ψ)]/B[Zcs(3985)+(D¯0Ds*++D¯*0Ds+)]} is measured to be less than 0.03 at 90% confidence level.
