Abstract

The decay branching fractions of the three narrow υ resonances to μ⁺ μ^- have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 fb^-1 e⁺ e^- data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction 25(υ(1S) → μ⁺ μ^-) = (2.49 ± 0.02 ± 0.07)% is consistent with the current world average, but ℬ(υ(2S) → μ⁺ μ^-) = (2.03 ± 0.03 ± 0.08)% and ℬ(υ(3S) → μ⁺ μ^-) = (2.39 ± 0.07 ± 0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the υ(2S) and υ(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.
