Abstract

Two-photon production of the charmonium state χc has been studied by the TPC/Two-Gamma experiment at the SLAC e+e- collider PEP. We observe evidence of the χc2 state in the channel γγ→χc2, χc2→γJ/ψ, J/ψ→l+l- and obtain a value of Γγγc2)=3.4±1.7±0.9 keV. This is the first observation of the two-photon production of a χc state. Comparison is made with previous experimental results and QCD predictions for Γγγc2).
