Study of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)\rightarrowΣ(1385)^{0}\barΣ(1385)^{0}$ and $Ξ^0\barΞ^{0}$

We study the decays of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ to the final states $Σ(1385)^{0}\barΣ(1385)^{0}$ and $Ξ^0\barΞ^{0}$ based on a single baryon tag method using data samples of $(1310.6 \pm 7.0) \times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ and $(447.9 \pm 2.9) \times 10^{6}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decays to $Σ(1385)^{0}\barΣ(1385)^{0}$ are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)\rightarrowΞ^0\barΞ^{0}$ are in good agreement with, and much more precise, than the previously published results. The angular parameters for these decays are also measured for the first time. The measured angular decay parameter for $J/ψ\rightarrowΣ(1385)^{0}\barΣ(1385)^{0}$, $α=-0.64 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.10$, is found to be negative, different to the other decay processes in this measurement. In addition, the "12\% rule" and isospin symmetry in the $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)\rightarrowΞ\barΞ$ and $Σ(1385)\barΣ(1385)$ systems are tested.

Evidence for $e^{+}e^{-} \to γη_c(1S)$ at center-of-mass energies between 4.01 and 4.60 GeV

We present first evidence for the process $e^+e^-\to γη_c(1S)$ at six center-of-mass energies between 4.01 and 4.60~GeV using data collected by the BESIII experiment operating at BEPCII. These data sets correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 4.6~fb$^{-1}$. We measure the Born cross section at each energy using a combination of twelve $η_c(1S)$ decay channels. Because the significance of the signal is marginal at each energy ($\le3.0σ$), we also combine all six energies under various assumptions for the energy-dependence of the cross section. If the process is assumed to proceed via the $Y(4260)$, we measure a peak Born cross section $σ_{\mathrm{ peak}}(e^+e^-\toγη_c(1S)) = 2.11 \pm 0.49 (\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.36 (\mathrm{syst.})$~pb with a statistical significance of 4.2$σ$.

Observation of $ψ(3686) \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}χ_{cJ}$ and $χ_{cJ} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/ψ$

Using $4.479 \times 10^{8}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $ψ(3686) \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}χ_{c0,1,2}$ and $χ_{c0,1,2} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/ψ$. The decays $ψ(3686) \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}χ_{c0,1,2}$ and $χ_{c0,1,2} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/ψ$ are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions are $\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686) \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}χ_{c0,1,2}) = (11.7 \pm 2.5 \pm 1.0)\times10^{-4}$, $(8.6 \pm 0.3 \pm 0.6)\times10^{-4}$, $(6.9 \pm 0.5 \pm 0.6)\times10^{-4}$, and $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0,1,2} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/ψ) = (1.51 \pm 0.30 \pm 0.13)\times10^{-4}$, $(3.73 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.25)\times10^{-3}$, $(2.48 \pm 0.08 \pm 0.16)\times10^{-3}$. The ratios of the branching fractions $\frac{\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686) \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}χ_{c0,1,2})}{\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686) \rightarrow γχ_{c0,1,2})}$ and $\frac{\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0,1,2} \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/ψ)}{\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0,1,2} \rightarrow γJ/ψ)}$ are also reported.

Amplitude analysis of $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-} π^{+} π^{+} π^{-}$

We present an amplitude analysis of the decay $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-} π^{+} π^{+} π^{-}$ based on a data sample of 2.93 ${\mbox{\,fb}^{-1}}$ acquired by the BESIII detector at the $ψ(3770)$ resonance. With a nearly background free sample of about 16000 events, we investigate the substructure of the decay and determine the relative fractions and the phases among the different intermediate processes. Our amplitude model includes the two-body decays $D^{0} \rightarrow \bar{K}^{*0}ρ^{0}$, $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-}a_{1}^{+}(1260)$ and $D^{0} \rightarrow K_{1}^{-}(1270)π^{+}$, the three-body decays $D^{0} \rightarrow \bar{K}^{*0}π^{+}π^{-}$ and $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-}π^{+}ρ^{0}$, as well as the four-body decay $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-}π^{+}π^{+}π^{-}$. The dominant intermediate process is $D^{0} \rightarrow K^{-}a_{1}^{+}(1260)$, accounting for a fit fraction of $54.6\%$.

Improved measurements of branching fractions for $η_c\toϕϕ$ and $ωϕ$

Using $(223.7\pm1.4)\times10^6$ J/$ψ$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector, we study $η_c$ decays to $ϕϕ$ and $ωϕ$ final states. The branching fraction of $η_c\toϕϕ$ is measured to be $Br(η_c\toϕϕ)=(2.5\pm0.3^{+0.3}_{-0.7}\pm0.6)\times10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is from the uncertainty of $Br(J/ψ\toγη_c)$. No significant signal for the double OZI-suppressed decay of $η_c\toωϕ$ is observed, and the upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be $Br(η_c\toωϕ)<2.5\times 10^{-4}$ at the 90\% confidence level.

Measurement of higher-order multipole amplitudes in $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c1,2}$ with $χ_{c1,2}\toγJ/ψ$ and search for the transition $η_{c}(2S)\toγJ/ψ$

Using 106~million $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we measure multipole amplitudes for the decay $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c1,2}\toγγJ/ψ$ beyond the dominant electric-dipole amplitudes. The normalized magnetic-quadrupole amplitude for $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c1,2}\rightarrowγγJ/ψ$ and the normalized electric-octupole amplitudes for $ψ(3686)rightarrowγχ_{c2}$,~$χ_{c2}\rightarrowγJ/ψ$ are determined. The M2 amplitudes for $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c1,2}\rightarrowγJ/ψ$ are found to differ significantly from zero and are consistent with theoretical predictions. We also obtain the ratios of M2 contributions of $ψ(3686)$ and $J/ψ$ decays to $χ_{c1,2}$, $b_{2}^{1}/b_{2}^{2} = 1.35\pm0.72$ and $a_{2}^{1}/a_{2}^{2} = 0.617\pm0.083$, which agree well with theoretical expectations. By considering the multipole contributions of $χ_{c1,2}$, we measure the product branching fractions for the cascade decays $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c0,1,2}\toγγJ/ψ$ and search for the process $η_{c}(2S)\toγJ/ψ$ through $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγη_{c}(2S)$. The product branching fraction for $ψ(3686)\rightarrowγχ_{c0}\toγγJ/ψ$ is 3$σ$ larger than published measurements, while those of $ψ(3686)rightarrowγχ_{c1,2}\toγγJ/ψ$ are consistent. No significant signal for the decay $ψ(3686)\toγη_c(2S)\toγγJ/ψ$ is observed, and the upper limit of the product branching fraction at the 90\% confidence level is determined.

Study of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ decay to $Λ\barΛ$ and $Σ^0\barΣ^0$ final states

Using $1310.6\times10^6$ $J/ψ$ and $447.9\times10^6$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider, the branching fractions and the angular distributions of $J/ψ$ and $ψ(3686)$ decays to $Λ\barΛ$ and $Σ^0\barΣ^0$ final states are measured. The branching fractions are in agreement with, and much more precise than, the averages of previously published results. The polar angular distributions of $ψ(3686)$ decays are measured for the first time, while those of $J/ψ$ decays are measured with much improved precision. In addition, the ratios of branching fractions $\frac{\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686)\toΛ\barΛ)}{\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toΛ\barΛ)}$ and $\frac{\mathcal{B}(ψ(3686)\toΣ^0\barΣ^0)}{\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\toΣ^0\barΣ^0)}$ are determined to test the "12\% rule".

Analysis of $D^+\to\bar K^0e^+ν_e$ and $D^+\toπ^0e^+ν_e$ Semileptonic Decays

Using 2.93~fb$^{-1}$ of data taken at 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we study the semileptonic decays $D^+ \to \bar K^0e^+ν_e$ and $D^+ \to π^0 e^+ν_e$. We measure the absolute decay branching fractions $\mathcal B(D^+ \to \bar K^0e^+ν_e)=(8.60\pm0.06\pm 0.15)\times10^{-2}$ and $\mathcal B(D^+ \to π^0e^+ν_e)=(3.63\pm0.08\pm0.05)\times10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. We also measure the differential decay rates and study the form factors of these two decays. With the values of $|V_{cs}|$ and $|V_{cd}|$ from Particle Data Group fits assuming CKM unitarity, we obtain the values of the form factors at $q^2=0$, $f^K_+(0) = 0.725\pm0.004\pm 0.012$ and $f^π_+(0) = 0.622\pm0.012\pm 0.003$. Taking input from recent lattice QCD calculations of these form factors, we determine values of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{cs}|=0.944 \pm 0.005 \pm 0.015 \pm 0.024$ and $|V_{cd}|=0.210 \pm 0.004 \pm 0.001 \pm 0.009$, where the third uncertainties are theoretical.

Observation of $Λ^+_{c}\to nK^0_Sπ^+$

We report the first direct measurement of decays of the $Λ^+_c$ baryon involving the neutron. The analysis is performed using 567 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=4.599$ GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We observe the decay $Λ^+_{c}\rightarrow n K^0_Sπ^+$ and measure the absolute branching fraction to be $\mathcal{B}({Λ^+_{c}\rightarrow n K^0_Sπ^+})=(1.82\pm0.23({\rm stat})\pm0.11({\rm syst}))\%$. A comparison to $\mathcal{B}({Λ^+_{c}\rightarrow p(\bar{K}π)^0})$ provides an important test of isospin symmetry and final state interactions.

Evidence of Two Resonant Structures in $e^+ e^- \to π^+ π^- h_c$

The cross sections of $e^{+}e^{-}\toπ^{+}π^{-}h_c$ at center-of-mass energies from 3.896 to 4.600 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The cross sections are found to be of the same order of magnitude as those of $e^{+}e^{-}\toπ^{+}π^{-}J/ψ$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\toπ^{+}π^{-}ψ(2S)$, but the line shape is inconsistent with the $Y$ states observed in the latter two modes. Two structures are observed in the $e^{+}e^{-}\toπ^{+}π^{-}h_c$ cross sections around 4.22 and 4.39 GeV/$c^{2}$, which we call $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4390)$, respectively. A fit with a coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions results in a mass of $(4218.4^{+5.5}_{-4.5}\pm0.9)$ MeV/$c^{2}$ and a width of $(66.0^{+12.3}_{-8.3}\pm0.4)$ MeV for the $Y(4220)$, and a mass of $(4391.6^{+6.3}_{-6.8}\pm1.0)$ MeV/$c^{2}$ and a width of $(139.5^{+16.2}_{-20.6}\pm0.6)$ MeV for the $Y(4390)$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The statistical significance of $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4390)$ is 10$σ$ over one structure assumption.

Search for the Radiative Leptonic Decay $D^{+}\to γe^{+} ν_{e}$

Using an electron-positron collision data sample of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV with the BESIII detector, we present the first search for the radiative leptonic decay $D^{+} \rightarrow γe^{+}ν_{e}$. The analysis is performed with a double tag method. We do not observe a significant $D^{+} \rightarrow γe^{+}ν_{e}$ signal, and obtain an upper limit on the branching fraction of $D^{+} \rightarrow γe^{+}ν_{e}$ decay with the energy of radiative photon larger than 10 MeV of $3.0\times10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level.

Amplitude analysis of the $χ_{c1} \to ηπ^+π^-$ decays

Using $448.0 \times 10^6$~$ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis is performed for $ψ(3686)\toγχ_{c1}$, $χ_{c1}\toηπ^+π^-$ decays. The most dominant two-body structure observed is $a_0(980)^{\pm}π^{\mp}$; $a_0(980)^{\pm}\toηπ^{\pm}$. The $a_0(980)$ line shape is modeled using a dispersion relation, and a significant non-zero $a_0(980)$ coupling to the $η^{\prime}π$ channel is measured. We observe $χ_{c1}\to a_2(1700)π$ production for the first time, with a significance larger than 17$σ$. The production of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, is investigated, and upper limits for the branching fractions $χ_{c1}\to π_1(1400)^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, $χ_{c1}\to π_1(1600)^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, and $χ_{c1}\toπ_1(2015)^{\pm}π^{\mp}$, with subsequent $π_1(X)^{\pm} \to ηπ^{\pm}$ decay, are determined.

By analyzing the large-angle Bhabha scattering events $e^{+}e^{-}$ $\to$ ($γ$)$e^{+}e^{-}$ and diphoton events $e^{+}e^{-}$ $\to$ $γγ$ for the data sets collected at center-of-mass (c.m.) energies between 2.2324 and 4.5900 GeV (131 energy points in total) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII), the integrated luminosities have been measured at the different c.m. energies, individually. The results are the important inputs for R value and $J/ψ$ resonance parameter measurements.

Precise measurement of the $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ cross section at center-of-mass energies from 3.77 to 4.60 GeV

The cross section for the process $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ is measured precisely at center-of-mass energies from 3.77 to 4.60~GeV using 9~fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Two resonant structures are observed in a fit to the cross section. The first resonance has a mass of $(4222.0\pm 3.1\pm 1.4)$~MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $(44.1\pm 4.3\pm 2.0)$~MeV, while the second one has a mass of $(4320.0\pm 10.4 \pm 7.0)$~MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $(101.4^{+25.3}_{-19.7}\pm 10.2)$~MeV, where the first errors are statistical and second ones are systematic. The first resonance agrees with the $Y(4260)$ resonance reported by previous experiments. The precision of its resonant parameters is improved significantly. The second resonance is observed in $e^+e^-\to π^+π^-J/ψ$ for the first time. The statistical significance of this resonance is estimated to be larger than $7.6σ$. The mass and width of the second resonance agree with the $Y(4360)$ resonance reported by the $BABAR$ and Belle experiments within errors. Finally, the $Y(4008)$ resonance previously observed by the Belle experiment is not confirmed in the description of the BESIII data.

Cross section measurements of $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow p \bar{p} π^{0}$ at center-of-mass energies between 4.008 and 4.600 GeV

Based on $e^+e^-$ annihilation data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at 13 center of mass energies from 4.008 to 4.600 GeV, measurements of the Born cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow p \bar{p} π^{0}$ are performed. No significant resonant structure is observed in the measured energy-dependent cross section. The upper limit on the Born cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Y(4260) \rightarrow p \bar{p} π^{0}$ at the 90\% C.L. is determined to be 0.01 pb.

Amplitude Analysis of the Decays $η^\prime \rightarrow π^+π^-π^0$ and $η^\prime \rightarrow π^0π^0π^0$

Based on a sample of $1.31 \times 10^9$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis of the isospin-violating decays $η^\prime \rightarrow π^+π^-π^0$ and $η^\prime \rightarrow π^0π^0π^0$ is performed. A significant $P$-wave contribution from $η^\prime \rightarrow ρ^{\pm} π^{\mp}$ is observed for the first time in $η^\prime \rightarrow π^+π^-π^0$. The branching fraction is determined to be ${\mathcal B}(η^\prime \rightarrow ρ^{\pm}π^{\mp})=(7.44\pm0.60\pm1.26\pm1.84)\times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third model dependent. In addition to the nonresonant $S$-wave component, there is a significant $σ$ meson component. The branching fractions of the combined $S$-wave components are determined to be ${\mathcal B}(η^\prime \rightarrow π^+π^-π^0)_S=(37.63\pm0.77\pm2.22\pm4.48)\times 10^{-4}$ and ${\mathcal B}(η^\prime \rightarrow π^0π^0π^0)=(35.22\pm0.82\pm2.54)\times 10^{-4}$, respectively. The latter one is consistent with previous BESIII measurements.

Measurements of the absolute branching fractions for $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowηe^{+}ν_{e}$ and $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowη^{\prime} e^{+}ν_{e}$

By analyzing 482 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at $\sqrt s=4.009$ GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we measure the absolute branching fractions for the semileptonic decays $D_{s}^{+}\toηe^{+}ν_{e}$ and $D_{s}^{+}\to η'e^{+}ν_{e}$ to be ${B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowηe^{+}ν_{e})=(2.30\pm0.31\pm0.08)$\% and ${B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowη'e^{+} ν_{e}) = (0.93\pm0.30\pm0.05)$\%, respectively, and their ratio $\frac{{B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowη'e^{+}ν_{e})} {{B}(D_{s}^{+}\rightarrowηe^{+}ν_{e})}=0.40\pm0.14\pm0.02$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The results are in good agreement with previous measurements within uncertainties; they can be used to determine the $η-η'$ mixing angle and improve upon the $D_s^+$ semileptonic branching ratio precision.
