Abstract

We present an update of the study of the Y(4260) resonance, produced in the process e+eγISRπ+πJ/ψe^+e^-\to\gamma_{ISR} \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi using initial-state radiation events at the PEP-II e+ee^+e^- storage rings. This study is based on 454fb1^{-1} of data recorded with the {\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\smaller A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\smaller A\kern-0.2em R}} detector at a center-of-mass energy in the Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) resonance region. From a fit with a single non-relativistic Breit-Wigner shape we obtain updated parameters for the Y(4260) resonance which are mY=4252±63+2m_Y = 4252 \pm6 ^{+2}_{-3}MeV/c2^2 and ΓY=105±186+4\Gamma_Y = 105 \pm 18^{+4}_{-6}MeV/c2^2; we also measure \calB(π+πJ/ψ)Γe+e=(7.5±0.9±0.8){\calB}(\pi^+\pi^-J/\psi)\Gamma_{e^+e^-} = (7.5\pm 0.9 \pm0.8) eV. We cannot confirm the recent BELLE observation of a broad structure around 4.05GeV/c2^2 in this decay mode.
