Abstract

The production of the Χc2 charmonium state in two-photon collisions has been measured with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider. A clear signal for Χc2 → γ J / ψ, J / ψ → ℓ+- is observed in a 32.6 fb-1 data sample accumulated at center-of-mass energies near 10.6 GeV, and the product of its two-photon decay width and branching fraction is determined to be Λγγ (Xc2)Β(Xc2 → γ J / ψ)Β(J / ψ → ℓ+-) = 13.5 ±(stat.) ± 1.1(syst.) eV.
