Advisor: Ronald Poling. 1 computer file (PDF); xi, 184 pages, appendices A-B. Ill. (some col.)We studied the decay &psi;(2S) &rarr; &gamma; &eta;<sub>c</sub>(2S) with 25.9 &times; 10 <super>6</super> &psi;(2S) events collected with the CLEO-c detector. No &psi;(2S) &rarr; &gamma; &eta;<sub>c</sub>(2S) decays were observed in any of the eleven exclusive &eta;<sub>c</sub>(2S) decay modes studied. The product branching fraction upper limits were determined for all modes. The 90% confidence level upper limit of B(&psi;(2S) &rarr; &gamma; &eta;<sub>c</sub>(2S)) < 7.4 &times; 10<super>-4</super>was obtained.en-USCLEOEtac(2S)Psi(2S)Radiative DecayPhysicsStudy of radiative decays of Psi(2s) mesons.Thesis or Dissertation
