Observation of the charmonium decay $η_c\toγγ$ in $J/ψ\toγη_c$

Using $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times10^{6}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the decay $η_c\toγγ$ in $J/ψ\toγη_c$ is observed. We determine the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)\times\mathcal{B}(η_c\toγγ)=(5.23\pm0.26_{\rm{stat.}}\pm0.30_{\rm{syst.}})\times10^{-6}$. This result is consistent with the LQCD calculation $(5.34\pm0.16)\times10^{-6}$ from HPQCD in 2023. By using the world-average values of $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)$ and the total decay width of $η_c$, the partial decay width $Γ(η_c\toγγ)$ is determined to be $(11.30\pm0.56_{\rm{stat.}}\pm0.66_{\rm{syst.}}\pm1.14_{\rm{ref.}})~\rm{keV}$, which deviates from the corresponding world-average value by $3.4σ$.

Evidence of doubly OZI-suppressed decay $η_{c} \to ωϕ$ in the radiative decay $J/ψ\to γη_{c}$

Using a sample of $(10087\pm44) \times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the first evidence for the doubly OZI-suppressed decay $η_{c} \to ωϕ$ is reported with a significance of 4.0$σ$. The branching fraction of $η_{c} \to ωϕ$ is measured to be $\mathcal{B}(η_{c} \to ωϕ) = (3.86 \pm 0.92 \pm 0.62) \times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result provides valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms of charmonium decays, particularly for processes such as $η_{c} \to VV$ (where $V$ represents a vector meson).

Measurement of the branching fractions of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed $D$ decays

By analyzing $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3~fb$^{-1}$, we measure the branching fractions of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed (DCS) decays $D^0\to K^+π^-$, $D^0\to K^+π^-π^-π^+$, $D^0\to K^+π^-π^0$, $D^0\to K^+π^-π^0π^0$, $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-$, and $D^+\to K^+K^+K^-$. We also perform the first searches for $D^0\to K^+π^-η$, $D^0\to K^+π^-π^0η$, $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-η$, $D^{+} \to K^{+} \left(π^{+} π^{-} η\right)_{{\rm non}-η^{\prime}}$, and $D^+\to K^+ηη$ and report the first observations and evidence for some of these final states. Combining the measurements with the world averages of the corresponding Cabibbo-favored (CF) decays, the ratios of the DCS/CF branching fractions are obtained. For the $D^{+} \to K^{+} \left(π^{+} π^{-} η\right)_{{\rm non}-η^{\prime}}$ decay, the ratio is significantly larger than the corresponding ratios of the other DCS decays.

Cross section measurement of $e^+e^-\to ηψ(2S)$ and search for $e^+e^-\toη\tilde{X}(3872)$

The energy-dependent cross section for $e^+e^-\to ηψ(2S)$ is measured at eighteen center of mass energies from 4.288 GeV to 4.951 GeV using the BESIII detector. Using the same data samples, we also perform the first search for the reaction $e^+e^-\toη\tilde{X}(3872)$, but no evidence is found for the $\tilde{X}(3872)$ in the $π^+π^- J/ψ$ mass distribution. At each of the eighteen center of mass energies, upper limits at the 90\% confidence level on the cross section for $e^+e^-\toηψ(2S)$ and on the product of the $e^+e^-\toη\tilde{X}(3872)$ cross section with the branching fraction of $\tilde{X}(3872)\toπ^+π^- J/ψ$ are reported.

Observation of the decay $ψ(3686)\rightarrow Σ^{0}\barΣ^{0}ω$

Using a dataset of $(27.12\pm 0.14)\times 10^{8}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the decay $ψ(3686)\toΣ^{0}\barΣ^{0}ω$ with a statistical significance of 8.9$σ$. The measured branching fraction is $(1.24 \pm 0.16_{\textrm{stat}} \pm 0.11_{\textrm{sys}}) \times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Additionally, we investigate potential intermediate states in the invariant mass distributions of $Σ^{0}ω$, $\barΣ^{0}ω$ and $Σ^{0}\barΣ^{0}$. A hint of a resonance is observed in the invariant mass distribution of $M_{Σ^{0}(\barΣ^{0})ω}$, located around 2.06 GeV/$c^2$, with a significance of 2.5$σ$.

Stringent test of $CP$ symmetry in $Σ^+$ hyperon decays

The non-leptonic two-body weak decays $Σ^{+} \to p π^{0}$ and $\barΣ^{-} \to \bar{p} π^{0}$ are investigated, utilizing $(1.0087\pm0.0044)\times10^{10}$ $J/ψ$ events and $(2.7124\pm0.0143)\times10^{9}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected by BESIII experiment. The precision of the weak-decay parameters for the decays $Σ^{+} \to p π^{0}$ ($α_{0}$) and $\barΣ^{-} \to \bar{p} π^{0}$ ($\barα_{0}$) is improved by a factor of three compared to the previous world average. Furthermore, the quantum-entangled $Σ^{+}\barΣ^{-}$ system enables the most precise test of $CP$ symmetry for the decay $Σ^+\to pπ^0$, through the asymmetry observable $A_{CP}=(α_{0}+\barα_{0})/(α_{0}-\barα_{0})$ that is measured to be $-0.0118\pm0.0083_{\rm stat}\pm0.0028_{\rm syst}$. Assuming $CP$ conservation, the average decay parameter is determined to be ${\left< α_{\rm 0}\right>} = (α_0-\barα_0)/2=-0.9869\pm0.0011_{\rm stat}\pm0.0016_{\rm syst}$, which is the most precise measurement of the asymmetry decay parameters in baryon sectors. The angular dependence of the ratio of the polarization of the $Σ^+$ in both $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ decays is studied for the first time.

Observation of $D^+\toη^\primeμ^+ν_μ$ and First Study of $D^+\to η^\prime \ell^+ν_\ell$ Decay Dynamics

Using $20.3\,\rm fb^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at the center-of-mass energy 3.773\,GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the semileptonic decay $D^+\to η^\prime μ^+ν_μ$ with significance of $8.6σ$ including systematic uncertainties, and an improved measurement of $D^+\to η^\prime e^+ν_e$. The branching fractions of $D^+\to η^\prime μ^+ν_μ$ and $D^+\to η^\prime e^+ν_e$ are determined to be $(1.92\pm0.28_{\rm stat}\pm 0.08_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-4}$ and $(1.79\pm0.19_{\rm stat}\pm 0.07_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. The ratio of the two branching fractions is determined to be ${\mathcal R}_{μ/e}=1.07\pm0.19_{\rm stat}\pm 0.03_{\rm syst}$, which agrees with the theoretical expectation of lepton flavor universality within the Standard Model.From an analysis of the $D^+\to η^\prime \ell^+ν_\ell$ decay dynamics, the product of the hadronic form factor $f_+^{η^{\prime}}(0)$ and the CKM matrix element $|V_{cd}|$ is measured for the first time, giving $f^{η^\prime}_+(0)|V_{cd}| = (5.92\pm0.56_{\rm stat}\pm0.13_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-2}$. The $η-η^\prime$ mixing angle in the quark flavor basis is determined to be $ϕ_{\rm P} =(39.8\pm0.8_{\rm stat}\pm0.3_{\rm syst})^\circ$.

Measurement of Born cross section of $e^+e^-\toΣ^0\barΣ^0$ at $\sqrt{s} = 3.50-4.95$ GeV

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at thirty-two center-of-mass energies from 3.50 to 4.95 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 25 $\rm{fb^{-1}}$, we measure the Born cross section of the $e^+e^-\toΣ^0\barΣ^0$ reaction and the effective form factor. No significant charmonium(-like) state, i.e., $ψ(3770)$, $ψ(4040)$, $ψ(4160)$, $ψ(4230)$, $ψ(4360)$, $ψ(4415)$, or $ψ(4660)$, decaying into the $Σ^0\barΣ^0$ final state is observed by fitting the $e^+e^- \to Σ^0\barΣ^0$ dressed cross section. The upper limits for the product of the branching fraction and the electronic partial width at the 90% confidence level are provided for each assumed charmonium(-like) state. In addition, the ratios of the Born cross section and the effective form factor between the $e^+e^-\toΣ^0\barΣ^0$ and the $e^+e^-\toΣ^+\barΣ^-$ reactions are provided, which can be used to validate the prediction of the vector meson dominance model.

Search for a $1^{-+}$ molecular state via $e^{+}e^{-} \to γD^{+}_{s} D_{s1}^{-}(2536) +c.c.$

We search, for the first time, for an exotic molecular state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, called $X$, via the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to γD^{+}_{s} D_{s1}^{-}(2536) +c.c.$ using data samples corresponding to a luminosity of $5.8~\mathrm{fb^{-1}}$ across center-of-mass energies from 4.612 to 4.951~GeV, collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider. No statistically significant signal is observed. The upper limits on the product of cross-section and branching fraction $σ({e^{+}e^{-} \to γX}) \times \mathcal{B}(X \to D^{+}_{s} D_{s1}^{-}(2536) +c.c.)$ at 90\% confidence level are reported for each energy point, assuming the $X$ mass to be 4.503~GeV/$c^{2}$ and the width 25, 50, 75, and 100~MeV, respectively.

Based on 4.5 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data accumulated at center-of-mass energies between $4.600\,\mathrm{GeV}$ and $4.699\,\mathrm{GeV}$ with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction of the Cabibbo-favored decay $Λ_{c}^{+} \rightarrow n K_{S}^{0} π^{+}$ with the precision improved by a factor of 2.8 and report the first evidence for the singly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay $Λ_{c}^{+} \rightarrow n K_{S}^{0} K^{+}$. The branching fractions for $Λ_{c}^{+} \rightarrow n K_{S}^{0} π^{+}$ and $Λ_{c}^{+} \rightarrow n K_{S}^{0} K^{+}$ are determined to be $(1.86\pm0.08\pm0.04)\times10^{-2}$ and $\left(3.9^{+1.7}_{-1.4}\pm0.3\right)\times10^{-4}$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic.

Using $20.3~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of three hadronic charm meson decays, $D^+\to ϕπ^+π^+π^-$, $D^+\to K^0_SK^+π^+π^-π^0$, and $D^+\to K^0_SK^+ω$, are measured for the first time to be $(0.54\pm0.19\pm0.02)\times 10^{-4}$, $(2.51\pm0.34\pm0.14)\times 10^{-4}$, and $(2.02\pm0.35\pm0.10)\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. Futhermore, the branching fractions of $D^+\to K^+K^-π^+π^+π^-$ and $D^+\to K^0_SK^+η$ are measured with improved precision, yielding values of $(0.66\pm0.11\pm0.03)\times 10^{-4}$ and $(2.27\pm0.22\pm0.05)\times 10^{-4}$, respectively.

Measurement of cross sections of $e^+e^-\to K^0_S K^0_S ψ(3686)$ from $\sqrt{s}=$ 4.682 to 4.951 GeV

The process $e^+e^-\to K^0_S K^0_S ψ(3686)$ is studied by analyzing $e^+e^-$ collision data samples collected at eight center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.682 to 4.951 GeV with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $4.1~{\rm fb}^{-1}$. Observation of the $e^+e^-\to K^0_S K^0_S ψ(3686)$ process is found for the first time with a statistical significance of $6.3σ$, and the cross sections at each center-of-mass energy are measured. The ratio of cross sections of $e^+e^-\to K_S^0 K_S^0 ψ(3686)$ relative to $e^+e^-\to K^+ K^- ψ(3686)$ is determined to be $\frac{σ(e^+e^-\to K_S^0 K_S^0 ψ(3686))}{σ(e^+e^-\to K^+ K^- ψ(3686))}=0.45 \pm 0.25$, which is consistent with the prediction based on isospin symmetry. The uncertainty includes both statistical and systematic contributions. Additionally, the $K_S^0ψ(3686)$ invariant mass distribution is found to be consistent with three-body phase space. The significance of a contribution beyond three-body phase space is only $0.8σ$.

Partial wave analysis of $ψ(3686)\toΛ\barΣ^0π^0+c.c.$

Based on a sample of $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times10^6\;ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, a partial wave analysis of the decay $ψ(3686)\toΛ\barΣ^0π^0+c.c.$ is performed to investigate $Λ^*$ and $Σ^*$ resonances in the $π^0\barΣ^0$ and $π^0Λ$ invariant mass distributions. Significant contributions are found from the $Λ(1405)$, $Λ(1520)$, $Λ(1600)$, $Λ(1670)$, $Λ(1690)$, $Λ(1800)$, $Λ(1890)$, $Λ(2325)$, $Σ(1385)$, $Σ(1660)$, $Σ(1670)$, $Σ(1750)$, and $Σ(1910)$. The masses, widths, and production branching fractions for each component are determined. In addition, the branching fraction of $ψ(3686)\toΛ\barΣ^0π^0+c.c.$ is measured to be $(1.544\pm0.013\pm0.069)\times10^{-4}$ for the first time, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Search for $Λ$-$\barΛ $ oscillation in $J/ψ\rightarrowΛ\barΛ$ decay

Using $(10087\pm44)\times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ decays collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for baryon number violation via $Λ-\barΛ$ oscillation in the decay $J/ψ\to Λ\barΛ$. No evidence for $Λ-\barΛ$ oscillation is observed. The upper limit on the time-integrated probability of $Λ-\barΛ$ oscillation is estimated to be $1.4\times 10^{-6}$, corresponding to an oscillation parameter less than $2.1\times 10^{-18}~\mathrm{GeV}$ at $90\%$ confidence level.

Precision measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $ψ(2S)\rightarrowτ^{+}τ^{-}$

Using $(2259.3 \pm 11.1)\times10^{6}$ $ψ(2S)$ events acquired with the BESIII detector, the branching fraction of $ψ(2S)\rightarrowτ^{+}τ^{-}$ is measured with improved precision to be $\mathcal{B}_{ψ(2S)\rightarrowτ^{+}τ^{-}}=(3.240~\pm~0.023~\pm~0.081)\times 10^{-3}$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively, which is consistent with the world average value within one standard deviation. This value, along with those for the branching fractions of the $ψ(2S)$ decaying into $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $μ^{+}μ^{-}$, is in good agreement with the relation predicted by the sequential lepton hypothesis. Combining the branching fraction values with the leptonic width of the $ψ(2S)$, the total width of the $ψ(2S)$ is determined to be (287 $\pm$ 9) keV.

Measurement of the Decay $Ξ^{0}\toΛγ$ with Entangled $Ξ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ Pairs

In this Letter, a systematic study of the weak radiative hyperon decay $Ξ^{0}\toΛγ$ at an electron-positron collider using entangled $Ξ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ pair events is presented. The absolute branching fraction for this decay has been measured for the first time, and is $\left(1.347 \pm 0.066_{\mathrm stat.}\pm0.054_{\mathrm syst.}\right)\times 10^{-3}$. The decay asymmetry parameter, which characterizes the effect of parity violation in the decay, is determined to be $-0.741 \pm 0.062_{\mathrm stat.}\pm 0.019_{\mathrm syst.}$. The obtained results are consistent with the world average values within the uncertainties, offering valuable insights into the underlying mechanism governing the weak radiative hyperon decays. The charge conjugation parity ($CP$) symmetries of branching fraction and decay asymmetry parameter in the decay are also studied. No statistically significant violation of charge conjugation parity symmetry is observed.

Partial wave analyses of $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}π^0$ and $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}η$

Using a sample of $(2712\pm14)\times10^6$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform partial wave analyses of the decays $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}π^0$ and $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}η$. The branching fractions of $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}π^0$ and $ψ(3686)\to p\bar{p}η$ are determined to be $(133.9\pm11.2\pm2.3)\times10^{-6}$ or $(183.7\pm13.7\pm3.2)\times10^{-6}$ and $(61.5\pm6.5\pm1.1)\times10^{-6}$ or $(84.4\pm6.9\pm1.4)\times10^{-6}$, respectively, where the two solutions are caused by an ambiguous phase angle between resonant and continuum processes. Several well-established $N^*$ states are observed in the $pπ^0$ and $pη$ systems, and the corresponding branching fractions are measured. The ratio of decay widths $Γ_{N(1535)\to Nη}/Γ_{N(1535)\to Nπ}$ is determined to be $0.99\pm0.05\pm0.19$.

Measurement of the Inclusive Cross Sections of Prompt $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ Production in $e^{+}e^{-}$ Annihilation from $\sqrt{s}=3.808$ to $4.951$ GeV

The inclusive cross sections of prompt $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ production are measured at center-of-mass energies from 3.808 to 4.951 GeV. The dataset used is 22 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. The results obtained are in agreement with the previous BESIII measurements of exclusive $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ production. The average values obtained for the cross sections measured in the center-of-mass energy ranges from 4.527 to 4.951 GeV for $J/ψ$ and from 4.843 to 4.951 GeV for $ψ(3686)$, where the impact of known resonances is negligible, are $14.0\pm1.7\pm3.1$ pb and $15.3\pm3.0$ pb, respectively. For $J/ψ$, the first and the second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. For $ψ(3686)$, the uncertainty is total. These values are useful for testing charmonium production models.
