Abstract

The decays of \jpsi\jpsi and \psip\psip to nKS0Λˉ+c.c.{n}{K^0_S}\bar{\Lambda}+c.c. are observed and measured for the first time, and the perturbative QCD ``12%'' rule is tested, based on 5.8×1075.8 \times 10^7 \jpsi\jpsi and 1.4×1071.4 \times 10^7 \psip\psip events collected with BESII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. No obvious enhancement near nΛˉn\bar{\Lambda} threshold in \jpsinKS0Λˉ+c.c.\jpsi \to {n}{K^0_S}\bar{\Lambda}+c.c. is observed, and the upper limit on the branching ratio of \jpsiKS0X,XnΛˉ\jpsi \to {K^0_S} X, X \to n \bar \Lambda is determined.
