Measurement of chi (3510) and chi (3555) production in 190 gev/c piminus-beryllium interactions
"Charmonium production in 190 GeV/c pi--Be interactions has been observed. The states 1(3510) and X(3555) are seen through their radiative decay into J/psi , and are found to correspond to 0.29 +- 0.09 of total J/psi' production for J/psi's with xf > 0.2. The rate of production for the two X states …
