Measurements of the branching fractions of eta(c) -> K+ K- pi(0), (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+), 2(pi(+) pi(-) pi(0)), and p(p)over-bar

Abstract

Using data samples collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies root s = 4.23, 4.26, 4.36, and 4.42 GeV, we measure the branching fractions of eta(c) -> K+ K- pi(0), (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+), 2(pi(+) pi(-) pi(0)), and p (p) over bar, via the process e(+) e(-) -> pi(+) pi(-) h(c), h(c) -> gamma eta(c). The corresponding results are (1.15 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.10)%, (2.60 +/- 0.21 +/- 0.20)%, (15.2 +/- 1.8 +/- 1.7)%, and (0.120 +/- 0.026 +/- 0.015)%, respectively. Here the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second ones systematic. Additionally, the charged track multiplicity of eta(c) decays is measured for the first time.
