Abstract
The decays $J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}p\bar{p}$ and $J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}n\bar{n}$ have been investigated with a sample of $225.2×10^6$ $J/{\psi}$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider. The branching fractions are determined to be $\mathscr{B}(J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}p\bar{p})=(2.112±0. 004±0.031)×10^{-3}$ and $\mathscr{B}(J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}n\bar{n})=(2.07±0.01±0.17)×10^{-3}$. Distributions of the angle $\theta$ between the proton or antineutron and the beam direction are well described by the form $1+\alpha cos2\theta$, and we find $\theta=0.595±0.012±0.015$ for $J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}p\bar{p}$ and $\theta=0.50±0.04±0.21$ for $J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}n\bar{n}$. Our branching-fraction results suggest a large phase angle between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes describing the $J/{\psi}{\rightarrow}N\bar{N}$ decay.
