Abstract

Cross sections for the process e+e-→KS0KS0J/ψ at center-of-mass energies from 4.128 to 4.950 GeV are measured using data samples with a total integrated luminosity of 21.2 fb-1 collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. The Y(4230) state is observed in the energy dependence of the e+e-→KS0KS0J/ψ cross section for the first time with a statistical significance of 26.0σ. In addition, an enhancement around 4.710 GeV, labeled as the Y(4710), is seen with a statistical significance of 4.2σ. There is no clear structure around 4.484 GeV. Using a fit with a coherent sum of three Breit-Wigner functions, we determine the mass and width of the Y(4230) state to be 4226.9±6.6±22.0 MeV/c2 and 71.7±16.2±32.8 MeV, respectively, and the mass and width of the Y(4710) state to be 4704.0±52.3±69.5 MeV/c2 and 183.2±114.0±96.1 MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. In addition, the average Born cross section ratio σBorn(e+e-→KS0KS0J/ψ)σBorn(e+e-→K+K-J/ψ) is measured to be 0.388-0.028+0.035±0.016, or 0.426-0.031+0.038±0.018 if three-body phase space is considered.
