The branching fractions are determined to be 1/25.48 0.31ostat thorn 0.45osyst thorn x 10-5 and 1/23.53 0.22ostat thorn 0.13osyst thorn x 10-5, respectively. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions. No significant signal is observed for J=psi -> mu thorn mu-mu thorn mu-, and an upper limit on the branching fraction is set at 1.6 x 10-6 at the 90% confidence level. A CP asymmetry observable is constructed for the first two channels, which is measured to be o-0.012 0.054 0.010 thorn and o0.062 0.059 0.006 thorn , respectively. No evidence for CP violation is observed in this processeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCp ViolationArticle2-s2.0-8518815964010.1103/PhysRevD.109.0520065Q1109N/AWOS:001202095500010
