Abstract
We report on an analysis of the decay using a sample of events collected with the BESIII detector. We search for the -violating process and a dark gauge boson in . No evidence of an signal is observed in the invariant-mass spectrum and the upper limit of the branching fraction is determined to be at the 90% confidence level. We also find no evidence of production and set upper limits at the 90% confidence level on the product branching fraction in the range between for . In addition, we study the process with . The branching fraction of is found to be , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, with a precision that is improved by a factor of 1.4 over the previously published BESIII measurement.
