Abstract:
Using 14 million ψ(2S)\psi(2S) events collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, the branching fractions of ψ(2S)\psi(2S) decays to pnˉπp \bar{n} \pi^- and pˉnπ+\bar{p} n \pi^+ and the branching fractions of the main background channels ψ(2S)pnˉππ0\psi(2S) \to p \bar{n} \pi^-\pi^0, ψ(2S)γχc0γpnˉπ\psi(2S) \to \gamma\chi_{c0} \to \gamma p \bar{n} \pi^-, ψ(2S)γχc2γpnˉπ\psi(2S) \to \gamma\chi_{c2} \to \gamma p \bar{n} \pi^-, and ψ(2S)γχcJγpnˉππ0\psi(2S) \to \gamma \chi_{cJ} \to \gamma p \bar{n} \pi^- \pi^0 are determined. The contributions of the NN^{\ast} resonances in ψ(2S)pnˉπ+c.c.\psi(2S) \to p \bar{n} \pi^- +c.c. are also discussed.
