Popis: The decay $\frac{J}{\ensuremath{\psi}}$ into $3\ensuremath{\gamma}$ final states has been studied. No evidence is found for the existence of the $X(2.83)$ or any heavy narrow state (e.g., the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$) decaying into two photons. Upper limits are given on the branching ratio $\frac{J}{\ensuremath{\psi}}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$, ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}2\ensuremath{\gamma}$ for ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$ masses in the 2.7-3.0-GeV region. In addition, the branching ratios $\frac{J}{\ensuremath{\psi}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\eta}}$, $\ensuremath{\gamma}{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ are measured. It is found that the ${\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ branching ratio is higher than previously reported.
