Abstract

Using 525525 pb1^{-1} data collected with the BESIII detector at e+ee^+e^- central-of-mass energy 4.26 GeV, the BESIII Collaboration observed a charged charmoniumlike state Zc(3900)π±J/ψZ_c(3900)\to\pi^{\pm}J/\psi with mass M[Zc(3900)]=3899.0±3.6±4.9M[Z_c(3900)]=3899.0\pm 3.6 \pm 4.9 MeV/c2^2, and width Γ[Zc(3900)]=46±10±20\Gamma[Z_c(3900)]=46\pm 10 \pm 20 MeV. The significance of this state was estimated to be >8σ>8\sigma in all kinds of systematic tests. Using 967967 fb1^{-1} data recorded by the Belle detector on or near Υ(nS)\Upsilon(nS), n=1, 2, \cdots, 5 resonances, the e+eπ+πJ/ψe^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi process has been studied through initial-state-radiation (ISR) method. Except for the Y(4260)Y(4260) resonance, an intermediate state Z(3900)±Z(3900)^{\pm} has been observed in the π±J/ψ\pi^{\pm}J/\psi mass spectrum, with significance >5.2σ>5.2\sigma. The measured mass M[Z(3900)±]=3894.5±6.6±4.5M[Z(3900)^{\pm}]=3894.5\pm6.6\pm4.5 MeV/c2^2 and width Γ[Z(3900)±]=63±24±26\Gamma[Z(3900)^{\pm}]=63\pm24\pm26 MeV, shows good agreement with the BESIII measurement within errors, which means Zc(3900)Z_c(3900) and Z(3900)±Z(3900)^{\pm} is the same state.
