Abstract
The decay is observed for the first time, using collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of , collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV. The absolute branching fraction for this decay is measured to be . The first amplitude analysis of this decay reveals the substructures in and determines the relative fractions and the phases among these substructures. The dominant intermediate process is with a branching fraction of . We also observe the -annihilation process , with a branching fraction of , which is larger than the branching fractions of other measured pure -annihilation decays by 1 order of magnitude.
