Search for $\eta$ and ${\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}\to {\pi }^{+}{e}^{-}{\bar{\nu }}_e+c\mathrm{.}c\mathrm{.}$ decays in $\text{jpsi}\to \varphi \eta$ and $\varphi {\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}$

Using a sample of 225.3 million $\text{jpsi}$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collider in 2009, searches for the decays of $\eta$ and ${\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}\to {\pi }^{+}{e}^{-}{\bar{\nu }}_e+c\mathrm{.}c\mathrm{.}$ in $\text{jpsi}\to \varphi \eta$ and $\varphi {\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}$ are performed. The $\varphi$ signals, which are reconstructed in $K^{+}{K}^{-}$ final states, are used to tag $\eta$ and ${\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}$ semileptonic decays. No signals are observed for either $\eta$ or ${\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}$, and upper limits at the 90% confidence level are determined to be $7.3\times {10}^{-4}$ and $5.0\times {10}^{-4}$ for the ratios $\frac{{\mathcal B}(\eta\to \pi^+ e^- \bar{\nu}_e +c.c.)}{{\mathcal B}(\eta \to \pip\pim\piz)}$and$\frac{{\mathcal B}(\eta^\prime\to \pi^+ e^-\bar{\nu}_e +c.c.)}{{\mathcal B}(\eta^\prime \to \pip\pim\eta)}$, respectively. These are the first upper limit values determined for $\eta$ and ${\eta }^{\mathrm{\prime }}$ semileptonic weak decays.
