y’ggJ/y: two photons transition naive theoretical pictures: • Potential model : • Discrete part:double E1 transition via discrete χCJ (nP) (n=1,2) states (virtual and real parts). (including main source of the background)(well described χCJ states) • Relativistic correction: • Higher order v2 operators corrections • Potential model + couple channel: • Besides discrete contribution, the hadron-loop effect also may play an important role. Theoretical study is on going. (Z.G. He et al) 2010-6-10 QCHS 2010 Lei Zhang 9

Branching Fractions of y’ γP(π0, η, η') • In the limit of OZI rule and SU(3) flavor symmetry, the charmonium radiative decay obey: (θp is pseudo-scalar mixing angle, p is momentum of η' or η in the center of mass system). This formula predicts R1 ≈R2. • The recentCLEO result: • R1 = (21.1±0.9)%but R2<1.8%@ 90%C.L. • Ψ’→γπ0 can be described by the vector dominant model(VDM), but the experiment has not been able to fix the theory for the large experimental uncertainty.
General Event Selection Reconstructed channels • Photons selection: • Geometrical Acceptance • Energy Threshold • Charged tracks selection: • Primary Vertex • Intermediate Meson Mass
