Study of the $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-D_s^+D_s^-$ process from $\sqrt{s}$ = 4.42 to 4.95 GeV at BESIII

Based on $8.5~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.42 and 4.95 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we investigate the process $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-D_s^+D_s^-$. With no significant signal observed, upper limits on the Born cross sections of $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-D_s^+D_s^-$ at each energy value are determined at the 90% confidence level. Additionally, a search for intermediate charmonium-like resonances is performed in the $M(D_s^+D_s^-)$ invariant-mass spectrum, but no significant resonant structures are observed with the current statistics.

Study of $B^+ \to μ^+ ν_μ$ decays at Belle and Belle II

We report a measurement of the branching fraction for the leptonic decay $B^+\toμ^+ν_μ$. This work presents the first $B^+\toμ^+ν_μ$ result using Belle~II data, an updated Belle measurement that supersedes the previous result, and their combination, which yields the most precise search to date. The analysis is based on $1076\,\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at a center-of-mass energy of $10.58\,\mathrm{GeV}$ with the Belle and Belle~II detectors at the KEKB and SuperKEKB colliders, respectively. We measure $\mathcal{B}(B^+\toμ^+ν_μ)=(4.4\pm1.9\pm 1.0)\times10^{-7}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The observed significance relative to the background-only hypothesis is 2.4 standard deviations. We set a 90\% confidence level upper limit of $\mathcal{B}(B^+\toμ^+ν_μ)<6.7\times10^{-7}$ using a frequentist approach and a 90\% credibility level upper limit of $\mathcal{B}(B^+\toμ^+ν_μ)<7.2\times 10^{-7}$ using a Bayesian approach. These are the most stringent limits to date. The result is interpreted as an exclusion region in the parameter space of type~II and type~III two-Higgs-doublet models. We search for stable sterile neutrinos with masses $m_N\in[0,1.5]\,\mathrm{GeV}$. No signal is observed, and the resulting exclusion on the squared mixing parameter $|U_{μN}|^2$ provides improvement over previous limits. We report a measurement of the partial branching fraction of semileptonic $B\to X_u\ellν_\ell$ decays with $p_μ^B>2.2\,\mathrm{GeV}$, obtaining $Δ\mathcal{B}(B\to X_u\ellν_\ell)=(2.72\pm0.05\pm0.29)\times10^{-4}$. We present a model-dependent study of weak annihilation decays using the muon momentum spectrum. We observe a signal of 2.4 standard deviations above the background-only hypothesis in regions where the distribution resembles that of $B\to X_u\ellν_\ell$ decays.

Charged-lepton identification at Belle~II

Effective particle identification capabilities are a strategic priority for the physics program of the Belle~II experiment. We describe the algorithms used at Belle~II for identifying electrons and muons and separating them from charged hadrons. We present the performance obtained by the experiment during Run 1, which consists of 428 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected at the energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider SuperKEKB between 2019 and 2022 at center-of-mass energies near the mass of the $Υ(4S)$.

Study of $e^{+}e^{-}\to h^{+}h^{-}J/ψ~(h=π,~K,~p)$ via initial-state radiation at Belle~II

Using a data sample of 427.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the Belle~II detector at or near the $Υ(4S)$ and $Υ(10753)$ resonances, the cross sections for $e^+e^-\to h^+h^-J/ψ$ $(h=π/K/p)$ at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.8 GeV or the production threshold to 5.5/6.0/7.0 GeV have been measured via initial-state radiation. The cross sections for the processes $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ and $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-J/ψ$ are consistent with previously published results. The cross sections for these channels obtained by combining with previous Belle results are also given. The process $e^+e^-\to p\bar p J/ψ$ is investigated for the first time. The yields are small and no significant structure is observed in the cross section versus energy. Searches for vector charmonium-like states in the $h^+h^-J/ψ$ systems, and for associated intermediate states in the $h^{\pm} J/ψ$ systems, are also presented.

First evidence of $X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{c0}(1P)$ and search for $X(3915)\toπ^0χ_{c1}(1P)$

We search for the pionic transitions $X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{cJ}(1P)$ $(J = 0,~1,~2)$ and $X(3915)\toπ^0χ_{c1}$ in $B^+\to π^0χ_{cJ}K^+$ decays using the Belle and Belle~II data samples collected at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance, corresponding to integrated luminosities of $711~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ and $492~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$, respectively. We report the first evidence for the decay $X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{c0}$ with a significance of $3.4σ$, including systematic uncertainties. We measure the product of branching fractions ${\cal B}(B^+\to X(3872)K^+)\times{\cal B}(X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{c0})=(20.0\pm6.8\pm2.3)\times10^{-6}$ and the branching fraction ratio ${\cal B}(X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{c0})/{\cal B}(X(3872)\toπ^+π^-J/ψ)=2.3\pm0.8\pm0.4$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The upper limits at 90\% credibility on the products of branching fractions for the $π^0χ_{c1}$ and $π^0χ_{c2}$ modes are $7.5\times10^{-6}$ and $15.3\times10^{-6}$, respectively. The corresponding upper limits on the branching fraction ratios relative to the $π^+π^-J/ψ$ decay are $0.9$ and $1.8$. The measured branching fractions for $X(3872)\toπ^0χ_{cJ}$ are consistent with several theoretical predictions based on the hadronic molecular interpretation of the $X(3872)$. No significant signal is seen for the $X(3915)\toπ^0χ_{c1}$ decay, and we set the 90\% credibility upper limit of ${\cal B}(B^+\to X(3915)K^+)\times{\cal B}(X(3915)\toπ^0χ_{c1})<6.6\times10^{-6}$, while the decays for $J=0$ and 2 are forbidden by parity conservation.

Observation of $ψ(3770)\to p\bar p$ and Measurement of Electromagnetic Form Factors of Proton at $\sqrt{s} = 3.510-4.946$ GeV

We search for possible charmonium(-like) states decaying into the $p\bar{p}$ final state by studying the Born cross sections of the $e^+e^-\to p\bar{p}$ reaction, and we determine the proton electromagnetic form factors by analyzing the proton angular distribution. The measurement is performed using a sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at 47 center-of-mass energies from 3.510 to 4.946 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 26 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the BESIII detector collected at the BEPCII collider. The decay $ψ(3770)\to p\bar{p}$ is observed with a significance of 6.6$σ$ including systematic uncertainties. Furthermore, a structure near 4.2 GeV is observed with significances of $4.6σ$ or $4.8σ$ for the $ψ(4160)$ or $Y(4230)$ hypotheses including systematic uncertainties, respectively; these interpretations cannot presently be distinguished. In addition, the moduli of the form factor ratios $|G_{E}/G_{M}|$ and of the magnetic form factors $|G_{M}|$ are extracted by analyzing the proton polar angle distribution with higher precision at large time-like squared momentum transfer. These results provide important experimental insights into both the decay mechanisms of charmonium(-like) states in the open charm region and the internal structure of proton.

Measurement of Born cross sections for $e^+e^-\to p\bar p$ at $\sqrt{s} =3.510-4.946$ GeV

We report a measurement of the Born cross section and the effective form factor for the $e^+e^-\to p\bar{p}$ reaction at 47 center-of-mass energies between 3.510 and 4.946 GeV. The measurement is performed using the energy-scan technique and is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 26 fb\(^{-1}\) collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. For the first time, the moduli of the electromagnetic form factor ratio $|G_{E}/G_{M}|$ and of the magnetic form factor $|G_{M}|$ are determined with high precision by analyzing the distribution of the polar angle of the proton at a large timelike momentum transfer. These results provide essential insights into the nature of charmonium(-like) states above the open-charm threshold and the dynamics underlying the proton electromagnetic form factors.

Search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay $η\to e^{\pm}μ^{\mp}$

Based on $(10.087 \pm 0.044) \times 10^{9}~J/ψ$ events collected at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} = 3.097$~GeV with the BESIII detector, we search for the charged lepton flavor violating decay $η\to e^{\pm}μ^{\mp}$ through the process $J/ψ\to γη'$ with $η' \to π^{+} π^{-} η$. No signal is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be $\mathcal{B}(η\to e^{\pm}μ^{\mp}) < 6.8 \times 10^{-7}$ at the 90\% confidence level. This result improves the previous best limit by one order of magnitude.

Measurement of mixing-induced CP violation in the decay $B^0 \to π^0 π^0$

Measurements of charge-parity (CP) violation in quark transitions provide stringent tests of the current theory and sensitive probes of particles or interactions beyond it. We report the first measurement of mixing-induced CP violation in $B^0\toπ^0π^0$ decays. The measurement uses 190 million $Υ(4S)\to B^{0}\overline{B}{}^0$ events collected with the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. A new approach that exploits the quantum entanglement of the $B^{0}\overline{B}{}^0$ pair enables a decay-time-dependent analysis without reconstructing the $B^0 \to π^0π^0$ decay position. We measure the mixing-induced CP-violating coefficient to be $S_{π^{0}π^{0}} = 0.61^{+0.75}_{-0.79}\,(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.11\,(\mathrm{syst})$, attaining a precision that would require a data set twenty times as large with a conventional analysis. We also measure the direct CP-violating coefficient to be $C_{π^{0}π^{0}} = 0.05 \pm 0.28\,(\mathrm{stat}) \pm 0.07\,(\mathrm{syst})$. These results substantially improve the constraints from $B \to ππ$ decays on the CP-violating phase $ϕ_2$ of the quark-mixing matrix using far less data than had previously been assumed necessary.

Observation of the radiative decay $D_s (2317)^+ \to D_s^* γ$

We observe the radiative decay $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} γ$ for the first time, with a significance exceeding $10$ standard deviations. The signal is found in the continuum $e^+ e^- \to c\bar{c}$ process with the combined data samples of 980.4~$\rm fb^{-1}$ and 427.9~$\rm fb^{-1}$ collected by the Belle and Belle~II detectors operating at the KEKB and SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, respectively. The branching fraction ratio ${\cal B}(D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{*+} γ)/{\cal B}(D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+} \to D_{s}^{+} π^{0})$ is measured to be $[7.13 \pm 0.70({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.23({\rm syst.})]\%$. This result provides significant new experimental input for the determination of the quark structure of the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)^{+}$, which remains unknown.

Observation of an Altered $a_{0}(980)$ Line shape in $D^{+} \rightarrow π^{+}ηη$

Using $20.3~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}=3.773~{\rm GeV}$, we perform the first amplitude analysis of the decay $D^+\toπ^+ηη$. The intermediate process $D^+\to a_0(980)^+η$, $a_0(980)^+\toπ^+η$, is observed as the only significant component in the amplitude analysis, and its branching fraction is measured to be $(3.67\pm0.12_{\rm stat}\pm0.06_{\rm syst})\times10^{-3}$. The $π^+η$ mass spectrum associated with $a_0(980)^+η$ production exhibits a line shape that differs substantially from those observed in $D_{(s)}\to a_0(980)π$ and $D^0\to a_0(980)^-e^+ν_e$ decays. We examine several conventional descriptions of the $a_0(980)$ amplitude, including Flatté, dispersively modified Flatté, $T$-matrix, and $K$-matrix parameterizations. With reference $a_0(980)$ parameters, neither these models nor their extensions including additional small resonant or non-resonant amplitudes reproduce the observed line shape satisfactorily. When the $a_0(980)$ parameters are allowed to float, satisfactory fits can be obtained, but the pole mass is driven well above the $K\bar K$ threshold, inconsistent with the near-threshold character of the $a_0(980)$. The results reveal a tension between fit quality and the physical pole position in conventional direct-production amplitude models.

First Experimental Constraint on the Scalar Current in the $D^{0(+)}\to \bar K\ell^+ν_{\ell}$ Transition

Using 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data taken at the center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV, we report the first experimental constraint on the scalar current in the $D^{0(+)}\to \bar K\ell^+ν_{\ell}$ transitions, based on a simultaneous fit to the first measured forward-backward asymmetries and precisely determined partial decay rates. The parameters of the scalar current are determined to be ${\rm Re}(c_S^μ)=0.017\pm0.008_{\rm stat}\pm0.006_{\rm syst}$ and ${\rm Im}(c_S^μ)=\pm(0.077\pm0.011_{\rm stat}\pm0.009_{\rm syst})$, which deviates from the SM by a significance of $2.3σ$. The branching fractions of $D^{0(+)}\to \bar K\ell^+ν_\ell$, the hadronic form factor $f_+(0)$, and the modulus of the $c\to s$ CKM matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ are also determined with improved precision. In addition, lepton flavor universality is tested via the ratios of the decay rates between semi-muonic and semi-electronic decays in the full momentum transfer range and in subranges.

Precise measurements of $D^0 \to K^-\ell^+ν_\ell$ and $D^+ \to \bar K^0\ell^+ν_\ell$ decays

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we present precise measurements of $D^0 \to K^-\ell^+ν_\ell$ and $D^+ \to \bar K^0\ell^+ν_\ell$ ($\ell=e,μ$) decays. The branching fractions of $D^0\to K^-e^+ν_e$, $D^0\to K^-μ^+ν_μ$, $D^+\to \bar K^0e^+ν_e$, and $D^+\to \bar K^0μ^+ν_μ$ are measured to be $(3.548\pm0.006_{\rm stat}\pm0.017_{\rm syst}) \%$, $(3.445\pm0.007_{\rm stat}\pm0.017_{\rm syst}) \%$, $(8.928\pm0.025_{\rm stat}\pm0.050_{\rm syst}) \%$, and $(8.770\pm0.029_{\rm stat}\pm0.053_{\rm syst}) \%$, respectively. The partial decay rates of these four decays are measured with improved precision, and their forward-backward asymmetries are determined for the first time. By performing a simultaneous fit to the measured partial decay rates and the forward-backward asymmetries of $D \to \bar K\ell^+ν_{\ell}$, a search for a possible scalar current contribution in the $c\to s\ell^+ν_{\ell}$ transition is performed. The results are ${\rm Re}(c_S^μ)=0.017\pm0.008_{\rm stat}\pm0.006_{\rm syst}$ and ${\rm Im}(c_S^μ)=\pm(0.077\pm0.011_{\rm stat}\pm0.009_{\rm syst})$, corresponding to a difference from the SM with a significance of $2.3σ$. The product of the form factor $f_+(0)$ and the modulus of the $c\to s$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ is determined to be $f_+(0)|V_{cs}|=0.7183\pm0.0007_{\rm stat}\pm0.0014_{\rm syst}$. With the inputs $|V_{cs}|=0.97349\pm0.00016$ from the Standard Model global fit or $\ffK=0.7452\pm0.0031$ from the lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation, we derive $f_+(0)=0.7383\pm0.0007_{\rm stat}\pm0.0014_{\rm syst}$ and $|V_{cs}|=0.9639\pm0.0009_{\rm stat}\pm0.0018_{\rm syst}\pm0.0040_{\rm LQCD}$.

Unexpected large relative strong phase and search for isospin breaking and $CP$ asymmetries in $J/ψ\to K^*(892)\bar K

Using a direct scan of 26 energy points near the $J/ψ$ resonance, we perform the first measurement of the relative phase $ϕ_{γ, 3g}$ between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes in $J/ψ\to\bar K^0 K^*(892)^0+c.c.$ and $J/ψ\to K^+ K^*(892)^-+c.c.$. Unexpectedly, the phase in the neutral channel is found to be $\sim 150^\circ$, deviating from orthogonality ($90^\circ$) by 4.2$σ$ and from a relative real amplitude (0$^\circ$ or 180$^\circ$) by 10.0$σ$ or 1.6$σ$, respectively. In contrast, the charged channel phase is consistent with $\sim 180^\circ$ within 1$σ$, exhibiting model-dependent behavior. The corresponding branching fractions are consistent with the world averages but achieve better than twofold improvement in precision. The ratios between the branching fractions of $J/ψ\to\bar K^0 K^*(892)^0+c.c.$ and $J/ψ\to K^+ K^*(892)^-+c.c.$ are also measured. After subtracting the electromagnetic contribution, the corresponding strong amplitude ratios obey isospin symmetry within $1.8σ$. A search for direct $CP$ violation yields asymmetries consistent with zero.

Strong and electromagnetic amplitudes, direct $CP$ and isospin asymmetries in the decays $J/ψ\to K^0_SK^+π^-+c.c.$

Using $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at 26 center-of-mass energy points between 3000.00 and $3119.88~\text{MeV}$ with the BESIII detector, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of about $440.7~\text{pb}^{-1}$, we study the cross section lineshape of $e^+e^-\to K_S^0 K^+π^-+c.c.$. The relative phases and magnitudes between $J/ψ$ strong and electromagnetic decay amplitudes are measured to be $(123.7\pm5.3)^\circ;4.31\pm0.22$ or $(-123.1\pm5.2)^\circ;4.38\pm0.22$, with corresponding branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to K_S^0 K^+π^-+c.c.)=(5.17\pm0.20)$ or $(5.36\pm0.20)\times10^{-3}$. Based on a partial wave analysis, the cross sections of $e^+e^-\to\bar K^0 K^*(892)^0+c.c.$ and $e^+e^-\to K^+ K^*(892)^-+c.c.$ are obtained. For these subprocesses, the relative phases and magnitudes are determined as $(155.2\pm15.5)^{\circ};3.67\pm0.27$ or $(-154.1\pm15.5)^{\circ};3.71\pm0.25$ and $(180.1\pm31.8)^{\circ};25.06\pm2.51$, respectively. The large relative phases deviate from the orthogonality relation expected from experiment and from the assumption of purely real amplitudes by more than $3σ$. The measured branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to\bar K^0 K^*(892)^0)+c.c.=(4.18\pm0.18)$ or $(4.31\pm0.19)\times10^{-3}$, $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to K^+ K^*(892)^-+c.c.)=(7.09\pm0.28)\times10^{-3}$ are all consistent with the world average values, but achieve better than a twofold improvement in precision. The ratios between the branching fractions of $J/ψ\to\bar K^0 K^*(892)^0+c.c.$ and $J/ψ\to\bar K^+ K^*(892)^-+c.c.$ are $\mathcal{R}_{K^*\bar{K}}=0.589\pm0.012$ or $0.612\pm0.013$. After subtracting the electromagnetic contribution, the corresponding strong amplitude ratios are $\mathcal{R}^{3g}_{K^*\bar{K}}=0.884\pm0.050$ or $0.909\pm0.044$, which deviate $2.3$ or $2.1σ$ from the unity. No evidence for direct $CP$ violation is observed.

Evidence of $ψ(3770) \to π^{0}J/ψ$

We report the first evidence for the hadronic transition $ψ(3770) \to π^0 J/ψ$ using a data sample of $20.3~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s} = 3.773$~GeV with the BESIII detector. The $e^+ e^- \to π^{0}J/ψ$ process is observed with a statistical significance of $6.1σ$, while the significance specifically attributed to $ψ(3770) \to π^{0}J/ψ$ is $4.5σ$. We measure the dressed cross section for $e^+e^- \to π^0 J/ψ$ to be $(249 \pm 44 \pm 15)~\text{fb}$ and determine the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(ψ(3770) \to π^0 J/ψ) = (2.08 \pm 0.36 \pm 0.21\pm 0.25) \times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third due to a possible interference with the $ψ(3686) \to π^{0}J/ψ$ decay. This is the first determination of this branching fraction. It lies significantly below tetraquark model predictions but aligns with calculations that incorporate meson loop effects, providing crucial insight into the isospin-violating nature of $ψ(3770)$ decays.

First search for $B \rightarrow X_{s} ν\barν$ decays

We report the first search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays $B \rightarrow X_{s} ν\barν$, where $X_{s}$ is a hadronic system with strangeness equal to 1, in data collected with the Belle~II detector at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $365~\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at the $Υ(4S)$ resonance and $43~\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy $60~\textrm{MeV}$ below resonance for estimation of $e^+e^-\to q\bar{q}$ continuum background. One of the $B$ mesons from the $Υ(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decay is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode. The $B \to X_s ν\barν$ decay is reconstructed with a sum-of-exclusives approach that uses 30 $X_s$ decay modes. This approach provides high sensitivity to the inclusive decay, despite the presence of two undetected neutrinos. The search is performed in three regions of the $X_{s}$ mass, chosen to separate contributions from prominent resonances. We do not observe a significant signal and set upper limits at 90\% confidence level on the partial branching fractions for the regions $0.0 < M_{X_{s}} < 0.6~\textrm{GeV}/c^{2}$, $0.6 < M_{X_{s}} < 1.0~\textrm{GeV}/c^{2}$, and $1.0~\textrm{GeV}/c^{2} < M_{X_{s}}$ of $2.2 \times 10^{-5}$, $9.3 \times 10^{-5}$, and $30.9 \times 10^{-5}$, respectively. Combining the three mass regions, we obtain the upper limit on the branching fraction, $B(B \to X_s ν\barν) < 3.3 \times 10^{-4}$.

Study of the Magnetic Dipole Transition of $J/ψ\toγη_c$ via $η_c\to p\bar{p}$

Using $(10.087\pm0.044)\times10^9$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the $e^+e^-$ BEPCII collider, we present the first amplitude analysis of $J/ψ\toγp\bar{p}$ with the $p\bar p$ invariant mass in the $η_c$ mass region $[2.70,3.05]$~GeV/$c^2$. The product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)\times\mathcal{B}(η_c\to p\bar{p})$ is precisely determined to be $(2.11\pm0.02_{\rm stat}\pm0.07_{\rm syst})\times10^{-5}$. Combining with the product branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(η_c\to p\bar{p})\times\mathcal{B}(η_c\to γγ)$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)\times\mathcal{B}(η_c\to γγ)$, the branching fractions of $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toγη_c)$ and $\mathcal{B}(η_c\toγγ)$ are calculated to be $(2.29\pm0.01_{\rm stat}\pm0.04_{\rm syst}\pm0.18_{\rm opbf})\%$ and $(2.28\pm0.01_{\rm stat}\pm0.04_{\rm syst}\pm0.18_{\rm opbf})\times10^{-4}$, respectively, which are consistent with the latest lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations. Here, opbf is the uncertainty from the other product branching fractions used in the calculation.
