Abstract: (arXiv)
We report the first observation of the ψ(4415)\psi(4415) resonance in the reaction \e^+e^-\to D^0 D^-\pi^+ and a measurement of its cross section in the center-of-mass energy range 4.0GeV4.0\mathrm{GeV} to 5.0GeV5.0\mathrm{GeV} with initial state radiation. From a study of resonant structure in ψ(4415)\psi(4415) decay we conclude that the ψ(4415)D0Dπ+\psi(4415)\to D^0 D^-\pi^+ decay is dominated by ψ(4415)DDˉ2(2460)\psi(4415)\to D \bar D{}^{*}_2(2460). We obtain B(ψ(4415)D0Dπnonresonant+)/B(ψ(4415)DDˉ2(2460)D0Dπ+)<0.22\mathcal{B}(\psi(4415)\to D^0 D^-\pi^+_{\mathrm {non-resonant}})/\mathcal{B}(\psi(4415)\to D \bar D{}^{*}_2(2460)\to D^0 D^-\pi^+)<0.22 at 90% C.L. The analysis is based on a data sample collected with the Belle detector with an integrated luminosity of 673 fb1\mathrm{fb}^{-1}.
