Search for a massless particle beyond the Standard Model in the $Ξ^0\toΛ+ \text{invisible}$ decay

A search for a massless beyond-standard-model particle is performed in the decay $Ξ^{0}\toΛ+\text{invisible}$ using $(1.0087 \pm 0.0044)\times 10^{10}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. No significant signal is observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(Ξ^{0}\toΛ+\text{invisible})$ is set to be $2.3 \times 10^{-4}$ at the $90\%$ confidence level. This is the first search for a flavor-changing neutral current process with missing energy in $Ξ^0$ decays. Throughout this paper, charge-conjugate processes are always implied.

An improved measurement of $η^\prime\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω$

Using a sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an improved measurement of the decay $η^{\prime}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω$, with $ω\rightarrowπ^{+}π^{-}π^{0}$ and $π^{0}\rightarrowγγ$ is performed. The branching fraction is determined to be $\mathcal{B}(η^{\prime}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω) = (1.79 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.12) \times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is consistent with the previous measurement and is obtained with significantly improved precision. Furthermore, the first measurement of the transition form factor cutoff parameter for this decay is reported, with $Λ^{-1} = (2.92 \pm 0.83 \pm 0.15)~\text{GeV}^{-1}$. These measurements provide valuable input for understanding the internal structure of the $η^{\prime}$ meson and testing theoretical models.

First observation of the $η_{c}\toΞ^{0} \barΞ^{0}$ decay

Using $(10087\pm 44)\times 10^6$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the decay $η_{c} \to Ξ^{0} \barΞ^{0}$. The interference between $J/ψ\toγη_c\toγΞ^0\barΞ^0$ and $J/ψ\toγΞ^0\barΞ^0|_{\rm non-resonance}$ is considered in the $Ξ^0 \barΞ^0$ mass spectrum fits. The branching fractions are measured to be $B(η_c \to Ξ^0 \barΞ^0)=(1.33 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.18) \times 10^{-3}$ for the constructive interference and $B(η_c \to Ξ^0 \barΞ^0)=(1.63 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.21) \times 10^{-3}$ for the destructive interference, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Study of $\barΛ$-$p$ Annihilation into Light Mesons

The annihilation of $\barΛ$-$p$ into light mesons is studied using $(10.087\pm0.044)\times10^{9}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The $\barΛ$ baryons are produced in the process $J/ψ\rightarrowΛ\barΛ$ and interact with the protons in the hydrogen nuclei in the cooling oil of the beam pipe. The reactions $\barΛp\rightarrow K^+π^+π^-$ and $K^+2π^+2π^-$ are observed for the first time, evidence for the reaction $\barΛp\rightarrow K^0_S2π^+π^-$ is found, and no significant signals are seen for the reactions $\barΛp\rightarrow K^0_Sπ^+$, $K^+3π^+3π^-$ and $2K^+K^-$. The cross sections of these reactions are also measured at $P_{\barΛ}\approx 1.074$ GeV/$c$. Furthermore, no significant structures are observed in the combinations of the final state particles for these reactions. The annihilation of $\barΛ$-$p$ into light mesons presents the similar behavior as $\bar{n}$-$p$ reactions in this energy region. These new measurements will serve as important inputs for the theoretical understanding of the antihyperon-nucleon interaction, and further contribute to understanding antibaryon-baryon interaction in a unified perspective.

Search for $ψ_0(4360)\rightarrow ηψ(2S)$ through the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow ηηψ(2S)$

Using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at the center-of-mass energies of 4.84, 4.92, and 4.95~GeV, we search for the exotic charmonium-like state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{--}$, $ψ_0(4360)$, in the process $e^+e^-\rightarrowηψ_0(4360)$ with $ψ_0(4360)\rightarrowηψ(2S)$. No significant signal of the $ψ_0(4360)$ resonance state is observed. Upper limits on $σ(e^+e^-\rightarrowηψ_0(4360))\cdot {B}(ψ_0(4360)\rightarrowηψ(2S))$ and $σ(e^+e^-\rightarrowηηψ(2S))$ at the 90\% confidence level are determined for each energy point.
