Abstract:
eta_c(2980) production in gamma-gamma interactions has been detected via its decays into K0_s K+/- pi-/+, K+ K- K+ K- and K+ K- pi+ pi- in the data taken with the DELPHI detector at LEP1 and LEP2 energies. The two-photon radiative width averaged over all observed decay channels is \Gamma_{\gamma\gamma} = 13.9 +/- 2.0 (stat.) +/- 1.4 (syst.) +/- 2.7 (BR) keV. No direct decay channel eta_c -> pi+ pi- pi+ pi- has been observed. An upper limit Γγγ\Gamma_{\gamma\gamma} < 5.5 keV at 95% confidence level has been evaluated for this decay mode.
