Abstract

Based on 122×106122\times 10^6 \ThreeS events collected with the \babar\ detector, we have observed the \OneDJ bottomonium state through the \ThreeS\g\g\OneDJ\g\g\pip\pim\OneS\ThreeS\to\g\g\OneDJ\to\g\g\pip\pim\OneS decay chain.The significance for the J=2J=2 member of the \OneDJ triplet is 5.8 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties.The mass of the J=2J=2 state is determined to be 10164.5±0.8(stat.)±0.5(syst.)10164.5\pm0.8\,\rm{(stat.)}\pm0.5\,\rm{(syst.)}~\mevcc.We use the \pip\pim\pip\pim invariant mass distribution to confirm the consistency of the observed state with the orbital angular momentum assignment of the \OneDJ.
