Observation and branching fraction measurements of $χ_{cJ}\to p \bar p K^0_S K^0_S$
Based on $(2.712\pm0.014)\times10^9$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decays $χ_{cJ} \to p \bar{p} K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S}$ ($J=0,1,2$) are observed for the first time with statistical significances exceeding $5σ$.The measured branching fractions are $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0}\to p \bar p K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S})=(6.94\pm0.30\pm0.38)\times10^{-5}$, $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c1}\to p \bar p K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S})=(1.30\pm0.12\pm0.08)\times10^{-5}$, and $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c2}\to p \bar p K^{0}_{S} K^{0}_{S})=(2.54\pm0.17\pm0.15)\times10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. In addition, no significant structures are observed in the $p\bar p$, $p K^0_S$, and $\bar p K^0_S$ mass spectra.
