The invariant-mass spectra of the Dþ s Dþ s and Dþ s Dþ s are studied to search for possible resonances. No significant signals are observed, and the 90% confidence level upper limits on the product branching fractions [Bðϒð1S; 2SÞ → Xccs¯s¯ þ anythingÞ × BðXccs¯s¯ → Dþ s Dþ s ðDþ s Dþ s ÞÞ] in ϒð1S; 2SÞ inclusive decays and the product values of Born cross section and branching fraction [σðeþe− → Xccs¯s¯ þ anythingÞ × BðXccs¯s¯ → Dþ s Dþ s ðDþ s Dþ s ÞÞ] in eþe− collisions at pffiffis ¼ 10.52, 10.58, and 10.867 GeV under different assumptions of Xccs¯s¯ masses and widths are obtained.American Physical Society20222025-04-15 12:50:32Znanstveno delo92511sl
