We measure the cross section ofe⁺e⁻→η_cJ/ψat the Υ(nS)(n= 1–5) on-resonance and 10.52 GeV off-resonance energy points using the full data sample collected by the Belle detector with an integrated luminosity of 955 fb⁻¹. We also search for double charmonium production ine⁺e⁻→η_cJ/ψvia initial state radiation near theη_cJ/ψthreshold. No evident signal of the double charmonium state is found, but evidence for thee⁺e⁻→ η_cJ/ψprocess is found with a statistical significance greater than 3.3σnear theη_cJ/ψthreshold. The average cross section near the threshold is measured and upper limits of cross sections are set for other regions.

We present the analysis of two-particle angular correlations using coordinate systems defined with the conventional beam axis and the event thrust axis. We propose the latter as a good representation for the correlation structure interpretation in thee⁺e⁻collision system. Thee⁺e⁻collisions to hadronic final states at center-of-mass energies of$$ \sqrt{s} $$$\sqrt{s}$= 10.52 GeV and 10.58 GeV are recorded by the Belle detector at KEKB. In this paper, results on the first dataset are supplementary to the previous Belle publication [1]. At the same time, the latter is the first two-particle correlation measurement at collision energy on theΥ(4S) resonance and is sensitive to its decay products. Measurements are reported as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity. Finally, a qualitative understanding of the correlation structure is discussed using a combination of Monte Carlo simulations and experimental data.
