Abstract: (arXiv)
An enhancement near threshold is observed in the \omega \phi invariant mass spectrum from the doubly OZI suppressed decays of J/\psi \to \gamma \omega \phi, based on a sample of 5.8 X 10^7 J/\psi events collected with the BESII detector. A partial wave analysis shows that this enhancement favors J^P = 0^+, and its mass and width are M = 1812^{+19}_{-26} (stat) +- 18 (syst) MeV/c^2 and \Gamma = 105+-20 (stat) +- 28(syst)MeV/c2.TheproductbranchingfractionisdeterminedtobeB(J/ψγX)B(Xωϕ)=(2.61+0.27(stat)+0.65 (syst) MeV/c^2. The product branching fraction is determined to be B(J/\psi\to \gamma X) B(X\to\omega\phi) = (2.61 +- 0.27 (stat) +- 0.65 (syst)) X 10^{-4}.
