Abstract

We study the decays of the charmonium resonances J/psi and psi(3686) to the final states Xi(-)(Xi) over bar (+), S(1385)(-/+)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(+/-) based on a single baryon tag method using data samples of (223.7 +/- 1.4) x 10(6) J/psi and (106.4 +/- 0.9) x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decay psi(3686) -> Sigma(1385)(-/+)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(+/-) is observed for the first time, and the measurements of the other processes, including the branching fractions and angular distributions, are in good agreement with, and much more precise than, the previously published results. Additionally, the ratios B(psi(3686)->Xi(-)(Xi) over bar (+))/B(J/psi ->Xi(-)(Xi) over bar (+)), B(psi(3686)->Sigma(1385)(-)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(+))/B(J/psi ->Sigma(1385)(-)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(+)) and B(psi(3686)->Sigma(1385)(+)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(-))/B(J/psi ->Sigma(1385)(+)(Sigma) over bar (1385)(-)) are detetmind
