Abstract

We report measurements of branching fractions for ψ(2S) decays into ωπ+π, b1π, ωf2(1270), ωK+K, ωpp¯, φπ+π, φf0(980), φK+K, and an upper limit for φpp¯ final states based on a data sample of (4.02±0.22)×106ψ(2S) events collected with the BESI detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. The branching fractions for b1π and ωf2(1270) update previous BES results, while those for other decay modes are first measurements. The ratios of ψ(2S) and J/ψ branching fractions are smaller than what is expected from the 12% rule by a factor of 5 for ωf2(1270) and by a factor of 2 for ωπ+π, ωpp¯, and φK+K, while for other studied channels the ratios are consistent with expectations within errors.
