Rivet analyses

Analysis of J/ψ decays to p and n

Experiment: BESIII (BEPC)

Inspire ID: 1113599

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Rev. D86 (2012) 032014

Beams: e- e+

Beam energies: (1.8, 1.8)GeV

Run details: - e+ e- > J/Psi

Analysis of the angular distribution of the baryons produced in e+e → J/ψ → p and n. Gives information about the decay and is useful for testing correlations in hadron decays.
