Abstract: (arXiv)
The decay J/ψωppˉJ/\psi \to \omega p \bar p is studied using a 5.8×1075.8 \times 10^7 J/ψJ/\psi event sample accumulated with the BES II detector at the Beijing electron-positron collider. The decay branching fraction is measured to be B(J/ψωppˉ)=(9.8±0.3±1.4)×104B(J/\psi \to \omega p \bar p)=(9.8\pm 0.3\pm 1.4)\times 10^{-4}. No significant enhancement near the ppˉp\bar p mass threshold is observed, and an upper limit of B(J/ψωX(1860))B(X(1860)ppˉ)B(J/\psi \to \omega X(1860))B(X(1860)\to p\bar p) < 1.5 \times 10^{-5} is determined at the 95% confidence level, where X(1860) designates the near-threshold enhancement seen in the ppˉp\bar p mass spectrum in J/ψγppˉJ/\psi \to \gamma p \bar p decays.
