Search for resonances decaying to ηcπ+π- in two-photon interactions

We report a study of the process γ γ → X → η c π + π − , where X stands for one of the resonances χ c 2 ( 1 P ) , η c ( 2 S ) , X ( 3872 ) , X ( 3915 ) , or χ c 2 ( 2 P ) . The analysis is performed with a data sample of 473.9     fb − 1 collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-ene...
