/ Abstract

Using the inclusive photon spectrum based on a data sample collected at the $J/ψ$ peak with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we measured the rate of the radiative decay $J/ψ\toγη_{\rm c}$ as well as $η_{\rm c}$ mass and width. Taking into account an asymmetric photon lineshape we obtained $Γ^0_{γη_{\rm c}}=2.98\pm0.18 \phantom{|}^{+0.15}_{-0.33}$ keV, $M_{η_{\rm c}} = 2983.5 \pm 1.4 \phantom{|}^{+1.6}_{-3.6}$ MeV/$c^2$, $Γ_{η_{\rm c}} = 27.2 \pm 3.1 \phantom{|}^{+5.4}_{-2.6}$ MeV.
