Measurement of $CP$ violation in ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ and ${B^{0}_{s}}\rightarrow{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}$ decays

A time-dependent, flavour-tagged measurement of $CP$ violation is performed with ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ and ${B^{0}_{s}}\rightarrow{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}$ decays, using data collected by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6 fb$^{-1}$. In ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ decays the $CP$-violation parameters are measured to be \begin{align} S_{D^{+}D^{-}} & = -0.552 \pm 0.100\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.010\,\text{(syst)}, \nonumber \newline C_{D^{+}D^{-}} & = \phantom{-}0.128 \pm0.103\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.010\,\text{(syst)}. \nonumber \end{align} In $B^{0}_{s} \rightarrow D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}$ decays the $CP$-violating parameter formulation in terms of $ϕ_{s}$ and $|λ|$ results in \begin{align} ϕ_{s} & = -0.086 \pm 0.106 \,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.028\,\text{(syst)} \,\text{rad}, \nonumber \newline |λ_{D^{+}_{s}D^{-}_{s}}| & = \phantom{-}1.145 \pm 0.126\,\text{(stat)} \pm 0.031\,\text{(syst)}. \nonumber \end{align} These results represent the most precise single measurement of the $CP$-violation parameters in their respective channels. For the first time in a single measurement, $CP$ symmetry is observed to be violated in ${B^0}\rightarrow{D^{+}D^{-}}$ decays with a significance exceeding six standard deviations.

Observation of a rare beta decay of the charmed baryon with a Graph Neural Network

The beta decay of the lightest charmed baryon $Λ_c^+$ provides unique insights into the fundamental mechanism of strong and electro-weak interactions, serving as a testbed for investigating non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics and constraining the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix parameters. This article presents the first observation of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $Λ_c^+ \rightarrow n e^+ ν_{e}$, utilizing $4.5~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of electron-positron annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector. A novel Graph Neural Network based technique effectively separates signals from dominant backgrounds, notably $Λ_c^+ \rightarrow Λe^+ ν_{e}$, achieving a statistical significance exceeding $10σ$. The absolute branching fraction is measured to be $(3.57\pm0.34_{\mathrm{stat.}}\pm0.14_{\mathrm{syst.}})\times 10^{-3}$. For the first time, the CKM matrix element $\left|V_{cd}\right|$ is extracted via a charmed baryon decay as $0.208\pm0.011_{\rm exp.}\pm0.007_{\rm LQCD}\pm0.001_{τ_{Λ_c^+}}$. This work highlights a new approach to further understand fundamental interactions in the charmed baryon sector, and showcases the power of modern machine learning techniques in experimental high-energy physics.

Amplitude analysis of the radiative decay $B^0_s\to K^+K^-γ$

A search for radiative decay of $B^0_s$ mesons to orbitally excited $K^+K^-$ states is performed using proton proton collisions recorded by the \mbox{LHCb}\xspace experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9~fb$^{-1}$. The dikaon spectrum in the mass range $m_{KK}<2400$~{\ensuremath{\,\text{Me\kern -0.1em V\!/}c^2}\xspace} is dominated by the $ϕ(1020)$ resonance that accounts for almost 70$\%$ of the decay rate. Considering the possible contributions of $f_2{(1270)}$, $f'_2{(1525)}$ and $f_2{(2010)}$ meson states, the overall tensor contribution to the amplitude is measured to be \begin{equation} {\cal F}_{\{f_2\}}=16.8\pm 0.5\mathrm{~(stat.)}\pm0.7\mathrm{~(syst.)}\%,\nonumber \end{equation} mostly dominated by the $f'_2(1525)$ state. Several statistically equivalent solutions are obtained for the detailed resonant structure depending on whether the smaller amplitudes interfere destructively or constructively with the dominant amplitude. The preferred solution that corresponds to the lowest values of the fit fractions along with constructive interference leads to the relative branching ratio measurement \begin{equation} \frac{{\cal B}(B^0_s\to f'_2γ)}{{\cal B}(B^0_s\toϕγ)}= 19.4^{+0.9}_{-0.8}\mathrm{~(stat.)}{}^{+1.4}_{-0.5}\mathrm{~(syst.)}\pm0.5\mathrm{~(\cal{B})}\%\nonumber, \end{equation} where the last uncertainty is due to the ratio of measured branching fractions to the $K^+K^-$ final state. This result represents the first observation of the radiative $B^0_s\to f'_2(1525)γ$ decay, which is the second radiative transition observed in the $B^0_s$ sector.

Search for $B_{(s)}^{*0}\toμ^+μ^-$ in $B_c^+\toπ^+μ^+μ^-$ decays

A search for the very rare $B^{*0}\toμ^+μ^-$ and $B_{s}^{*0}\toμ^+μ^-$ decays is conducted by analysing the $B_c^+\to π^+μ^+μ^-$ process. The analysis uses proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector between 2011 and 2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9$\text{\,fb}^{-1}$. The signal signatures correspond to simultaneous peaks in the $μ^+μ^-$ and $π^+μ^+μ^-$ invariant masses. No evidence for an excess of events over background is observed for either signal decay mode. Upper limits at the $90\%$ confidence level are set on the branching fractions relative to that for $B_c^+\to J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2muψπ^+$ decays, \begin{equation*} {\cal R}_{B^{*0}(μ^+μ^-)π^+/J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2muψπ^+} < 3.8\times 10^{-5}\ \text{ and }\: {\cal R}_{B_{s}^{*0}(μ^+μ^-)π^+/J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2muψπ^+} < 5.0\times 10^{-5}\,. \end{equation*}

Search for $K^0_S$ invisible decays

Based on $(1.0087\pm0.0044)\times10^{10}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ storage ring, we search for $K_{S}^{0}$ invisible decays via the $J/ψ\to ϕK_{S}^{0} K_{S}^{0}$ process. No significant signal is observed, and the upper limit of the branching fraction of these invisible decays is set at 8.4 $\times$ $10^{-4}$ at the 90\% confidence level. This is the first experimental search for $K^0_S$ invisible decays.

Search for the leptonic decay $D^{+}\to e^{+}ν_{e}$

We search for the leptonic decay $D^+\to e^+ν_{e}$ using an $e^+e^-$ collision data sample with an integrated luminosity of 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV. No significant signal is observed and an upper limit on the branching fraction of $D^+\to e^+ν_{e}$ is set as $9.7 \times 10^{-7}$, at the 90\% confidence level. Our upper limit is an order of magnitude smaller than the previous limit for this decay mode.

Measurement of $\itΛ_\it{b}^0$, $\itΛ_\it{c}^+$ and $\itΛ$ decay parameters using $\itΛ_\it{b}^0 \to \itΛ_\it{c}^+ h^-$ decays

A comprehensive study of the angular distributions in the bottom-baryon decays $\itΛ^\mathrm{0}_b\to\itΛ_c^+ h^-(h=π, K)$, followed by $\itΛ_c^+\to\itΛ h^+$ with $\itΛ\to \it{p} π^-$ or $\itΛ_c^+\to\it{p}\it{K}^0_\mathrm{S}$ decays, is performed using a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 $\mathrm{Te\kern -0.1em V}$. The decay parameters and the associated charge-parity ($C\!P$) asymmetries are measured, with no significant $C\!P$ violation observed. For the first time, the $\itΛ^\mathrm{0}_b \to \itΛ_c^+ h^-$ decay parameters are measured. The most precise measurements of the decay parameters $α, β$ and $γ$ are obtained for $\itΛ_c^+$ decays and an independent measurement of the decay parameters for the strange-baryon $\itΛ$ decay is provided. The results deepen our understanding of weak decay dynamics in baryon decays.

Based on $(2712.4 \pm 14.3)\times 10^6$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected at the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we present the first observation of the decay $ψ(3686) \to K^{-}Λ(1520)\barΞ^{+} + c.c.$. The product branching fraction ${\cal B}[ψ(3686) \to K^{-}Λ(1520)\barΞ^{+} + c.c.] \times {\cal B}[Λ(1520) \to pK^{-}]$ is measured to be $(9.5 \pm 0.8 \pm 1.1) \times 10^{-7}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.

Search for $η_c(2S)\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-$ and measurement of $χ_{cJ}\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-$ in $ψ(3686)$ radiative decays

A search for $η_c(2S)\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-$, together with measurement of branching fractions of $χ_{cJ(J=0,1,2)}\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-$ in the $ψ(3686) \to γη_c(2S)$ and the $ψ(3686) \to γχ_{cJ}$ radiative decays, is performed with $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times 10^6$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. An evidence for $η_c(2S)\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-$ is found, with a significance of $3.3σ$. The product branching fraction of $\mathcal{B}[ψ(3686)\toγη_c(2S)]\cdot\mathcal{B}[η_c(2S)\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-]$ is determined to be $(1.98\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu0.41_{\text{stat.}}\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu0.99_{\text{syst.}})\times 10^{-7}$. The product branching fractions of $\mathcal{B}[ψ(3686)\toγχ_{cJ}]\cdot\mathcal{B}[χ_{cJ}\to p\bar{p}K^+K^-]$ are measured to be $(2.49\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu 0.03_{\text{stat.}}\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu 0.15_{\text{syst.}})\times 10^{-5}$, $(1.83\mkern 2mu \pm\mkern 2mu 0.02_{\text{stat.}}\mkern 2mu \pm\mkern 2mu 0.11_{\text{syst.}})\times 10^{-5}$, and $(2.43\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu 0.02_{\text{stat.}}\mkern 2mu\pm\mkern 2mu 0.15_{\text{syst.}})\times 10^{-5}$, for $J=0,\ 1$, and 2, respectively.

$\mathcal R(3780)$ Resonance Interpreted as the $1^3D_1$-Wave Dominant State of Charmonium from Precise Measurements of the Cross Section of $e^+e^-\rightarrow$ Hadrons

We report the precise measurements of the cross section of $e^+e^-\rightarrow$ hadrons at center-of-mass energies from 3.645 to 3.871 GeV. We thereby perform the most precise study of the cross sections and find a complex system composed of three resonances of $\mathcal R(3760)$, $\mathcal R(3780)$, and $\mathcal R(3810)$. For the first time, we measure the $\mathcal R(3810)$ electronic width to be $(19.4 \pm 7.4 \pm 12.1)$ eV. For the $\mathcal R(3760)$ resonance, we measure the mass to be $(3751.9\pm 3.8\pm 2.8)$ MeV/$c^2$, the total width to be $(32.8 \pm 5.8 \pm 8.7)$ MeV, and the electronic width to be $(184\pm 75\pm 86)$ eV. For the $\mathcal R(3780)$ resonance, we measure its mass to be $(3778.7\pm 0.5\pm 0.3)$ MeV/$c^2$, total width to be $(20.3 \pm 0.8 \pm 1.7)$ MeV, and electronic width to be $(265\pm 67\pm 83)$ eV. Forty-seven years ago, the $ψ(3770)$ resonance was discovered, and was subsequently interpreted as the $1^3D_1$-wave dominant state of charmonium. However, our analysis of the total-hadron cross sections indicates that the $ψ(3770)$ is not a single state, but a complex system composed of the $\mathcal R(3760)$, $\mathcal R(3780)$, and $\mathcal R(3810)$ resonances. Among these, we interpret the $\mathcal R(3780)$ is a resonance dominated by the $1^3D_1$ charmonium state.

Measurement of the $D^{*}$ longitudinal polarization in $B^0\to D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_τ$ decays

The longitudinal polarization fraction of the $D^{*}$ meson is measured in $B^0\to D^{*-}τ^{+}ν_τ$ decays, where the $τ$ lepton decays to three charged pions and a neutrino, using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb$^{-1}$. The $D^{*}$ polarization fraction $F_{L}^{D^{*}}$ is measured in two $q^{2}$ regions, below and above 7 GeV$^{2}/c^{4}$, where $q^{2}$ is defined as the squared invariant mass of the $τν_τ$ system. The $F_{L}^{D^{*}}$ values are measured to be $0.52 \pm 0.07 \pm 0.04$ and $0.34 \pm 0.08 \pm 0.02$ for the lower and higher $q^{2}$ regions, respectively. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The average value over the whole $q^{2}$ range is: $$F_{L}^{D^{*}} = 0.41 \pm 0.06 \pm 0.03.$$ These results are compatible with the Standard Model predictions.

Measurement of $Σ^+$ transverse polarization in $e^+e^-$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 3.68-3.71$ GeV

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at seven energy points ranging from 3.68 to 3.71 GeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $652.1~{\rm pb^{-1}}$, we present an energy-dependent measurement of the transverse polarization, relative phase and modulus ratio of the electromagnetic form factors of the $Σ^+$ hyperon in the $e^+e^- \to Σ^+ \barΣ^-$ reaction. These results are helpful to understand the production mechanism of the $Σ^+$-$\barΣ^-$ pairs.

Search for the double Dalitz decays $η/η' \to e^+e^-μ^+μ^-$ and $η' \to μ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-$

Using a data sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times {10^{6}}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $η/η'\to e^+e^-μ^+μ^-$ and $η' \to μ^+μ^-μ^+μ^-$ via the radiative decays $J/ψ\toγη$/$γη'$. No excess of events over expected background is observed for any of the decays of interest. At 90% confidence level, we report the first upper limits on the branching fractions of $η' \to e^{+}e^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-}$ and $η' \to μ^{+}μ^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-}$ to be $ 1.75 \times {10^{-6}}$ and $5.28 \times {10^{-7}}$, respectively. In addition, we set an upper limit on the branching fraction of $η\to e^{+}e^{-}μ^{+}μ^{-}$ to be $6.88 \times {10^{-6}}$, which improves the previous result by about two orders of magnitude.

Study of $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow f_{0}(980)ρ^+$ and $ϕπ^+$ decays through $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}$

We perform the first amplitude analysis of $D^+_s \to π^+π^+π^-π^0$ decays, based on data samples of electron-positron collisions recorded with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226~GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.33~fb$^{-1}$. We report the observation of $D_{s}^{+} \to f_0(980)ρ(770)^{+}$ with a statistical significance greater than 10$σ$ and determine the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(D_s^+\toπ^+π^+π^-π^0|_{{\rm non}-η})=(2.04\pm0.08_{\rm stat.}\pm0.05_{\rm syst.})\%$ and $\mathcal{B}(D_s^+\toηπ^+)=(1.56\pm0.09_{\rm stat.}\pm0.04_{\rm syst.})\%$. Moreover, we measure the relative branching fraction between $ϕ\toπ^+π^-π^0$ and $ϕ\to K^+K^-$ to be $\frac{\mathcal{B}(ϕ(1020) \to π^+π^-π^0)}{\mathcal{B}(ϕ(1020) \to K^+K^-)}=0.230 \pm 0.014_{\rm stat.} \pm 0.010_{\rm syst.}$, which deviates from the world average value by more than $4σ$.

The branching fractions of the intermediate processes are measured, with the dominant contribution $D^+ \to \bar{K}^{*}(892)^0ρ(770)^+$ observed to have a branching fraction of $(4.15\pm0.07_{\rm stat.}\pm0.17_{\rm syst.})\%$. With the detection efficiency derived from the amplitude analysis, the absolute branching fraction of $D^+ \to K^-π^+π^+π^0$ is measured to be $(6.06\pm0.04_{\rm stat.}\pm0.07_{\rm syst.})\%$.

Search for $h_c \to π^+π^-J/ψ$ via $ψ(3686)\to π^0h_c$

Using $(2712.4 \pm 14.3) \times 10^6~ψ$(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we search for the hadronic transition $h_c \to π^+π^-J/ψ$ via $ψ(3686)\to π^0 h_c$. No significant signal is observed. We set the most stringent upper limits to date on the branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686)\to π^0 h_c)\times\mathcal{B}(h_c\toπ^+π^-J/ψ)$ and $\mathcal{B}(h_c \to π^+π^-J/ψ)$ at the 90$\%$ confidence level, which are determined to be $6.7\times 10^{-7}$ and $9.4 \times10^{-4}$, respectively.

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 $\mathcal{B}[D^0\rightarrow (\bar{K}^0π^-)_{S-{\rm wave}}e^+ν_e] = (0.085 \pm 0.005_{\rm stat} \pm 0.003_{\rm syst})\%$.
