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).

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.

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.

Measurement of the branching fractions of $D^+ \to K^+K^-π^+π^+π^-$, $ϕπ^+π^+π^-$, $K^0_SK^+π^+π^-π^0$, $K^0_SK^+η$, and $K^0_SK^+ω$ decays

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 $0.8σ$.

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.

Utilizing 4.5 $fb^-$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at center-of-mass energies ranging from 4599.53 MeV to 4698.82 MeV by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed hadronic decays $Λ_{c}^{+}\toΣ^{0} K^{+}π^{0}$ and $Λ_{c}^{+}\toΣ^{0}K^{+}π^+π^-$ with a single-tag method. No significant signals are observed for both decays. The upper limits on the branching fractions at the $90\%$ confidence level are determined to be $5.0\times 10^{-4}$ for $Λ_{c}^{+}\toΣ^{0} K^{+}π^{0}$ and $6.5\times 10^{-4}$ for $Λ_c^{+}\toΣ^0K^{+}π^{+}π^{-}$.

This marks the first search for a flavor-changing neutral current charmonium decay involving muons in the final state.

Study of the semileptonic decay $D^0\rightarrow \bar{K}^0π^-e^+ν_e$

We report an improved study of the semileptonic decay $D^0 \rightarrow \bar{K}^0π^-e^+ν_{e}$ based on a sample of $7.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The branching fraction of this decay is measured to be $\mathcal{B}(D^0\rightarrow \bar{K}^0π^-e^+ν_{e}) = (1.444 \pm 0.022_{\rm stat} \pm 0.024_{\rm syst})\%$, which is the most precise to date, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Based on investigation of the decay dynamics, we find that the decay is dominated by the $K^{*}(892)^-$ component and present an improved measurement of its branching fraction to be $\mathcal{B}(D^0\rightarrow K^{*}(892)^-e^+ν_e) = (2.039 \pm 0.032_{\rm stat} \pm 0.034_{\rm syst})\%$. We also determine the ratios of the hadronic form factors for the $K^{*}(892)^-e^+ν_e$ decay to be $r_{V} = V(0)/A_1(0) = 1.48 \pm 0.05_{\rm stat} \pm 0.02_{\rm syst}$ and $r_{2} = A_2(0)/A_1(0) = 0.70 \pm 0.04_{\rm stat} \pm 0.02_{\rm syst}$, where $V(0)$ is the vector form factor and $A_{1,2}(0)$ are the axial form factors. In addition, the $\bar{K}^0π^-$ $\mathcal{S}$-wave component is found to account for $(5.87 \pm 0.32_{\rm stat} \pm 0.16_{\rm syst})\%$ of the total decay rate, corresponding to a branching fraction of $\mathcal{B}[D^0\rightarrow (\bar{K}^0π^-)_{S-{\rm wave}}e^+ν_e] = (0.085 \pm 0.005_{\rm stat} \pm 0.003_{\rm syst})\%$.
