Abstract
We present a search for f(J)(2220) production in radiative J/psi --> gamma f(J)(2220) decays using 460 fb(-1) of data collected with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II e(+)e(-) collider. The f(J)(2220) is searched for in the decays to K+K- and (KSKS0)-K-0. No evidence of this resonance is observed, and 90% confidence level upper limits on the product of the branching fractions for J/psi --> gamma f(J)(2220) and f(J)(2220) --> K+K-((KSKS0)-K-0) as a function of spin and helicity are set at the level of 10(-5), below the central values reported by the Mark III experiment.
We are grateful for the excellent luminosity and machine
conditions provided by our PEP-II colleagues, and
for the substantial dedicated effort from the computing
organizations that support BABAR. The collaborating
institutions wish to thank SLAC for its support and
kind hospitality. This work is supported by DOE and
