abstract
Using $(10.087\pm0.044)\times10^9$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the $e^+e^-$ BEPCII collider, we present the first amplitude analysis of $J/\psi\to\gamma p\bar{p}$ with the $p\bar p$ invariant mass in the $\eta_c$ mass region $[2.70,3.05]$~GeV/$c^2$. The product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c)\times\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to p\bar{p})$ is precisely determined to be $(2.11\pm0.02_{\rm stat}\pm0.07_{\rm syst})\times10^{-5}$. Combining with the product branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to p\bar{p})\times\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to \gamma\gamma)$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c)\times\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to \gamma\gamma)$, the branching fractions of $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c)$ and $\mathcal{B}(\eta_c\to\gamma\gamma)$ are calculated to be $(2.29\pm0.01_{\rm stat}\pm0.04_{\rm syst}\pm0.18_{\rm opbf})\%$ and $(2.28\pm0.01_{\rm stat}\pm0.04_{\rm syst}\pm0.18_{\rm opbf})\times10^{-4}$, respectively, which are consistent with the latest lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations. Here, opbf is the uncertainty from the other product branching fractions used in the calculation.

Proposes new photon line shape and branching fraction extraction method for J/psi to gamma eta_c, claiming compatibility between PDG data correlations and lattice QCD widths via profile scan.
Mixing with a small angle between the pseudoscalar glueball and η_c can increase Br(J/ψ → γ X(2370)) well above the pure-glueball value of 2.3(8)×10^{-4}.
