Abstract
Hadronic transitions of chi(cJ) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-) (J = 0, 1, 2) are searched for using a sample of 1.06 x 10(8) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The eta(c) is reconstructed with (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) and K+K-pi(0) final states. No signals are observed in any of the three chi(cJ) states in either eta(c) decay mode. At the 90% confidence level, the upper limits are determined to be B(chi(c0) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) <0.07%, B(chi(c1) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) <0.32%, and B(chi(c2) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) <0.54%. The upper limit of B(chi(c1) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) is lower than the existing theoretical prediction by almost an order of magnitude. The branching fractions of chi(cJ) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-), K+K-pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), omega K+K-, and phi pi(+)pi(-)pi(0) (J = 0, 1, 2) are measured for the first time.
