Search for charmonium(like) states $X$ in $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowγX\rightarrowγD^{0}\bar{D}^{0}$ at BESIII

A search is performed for a state $X$ decaying into $D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}$ produced in the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowγX$ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1667.4 $\rm pb^{-1}$ collected at $\sqrt{s} = 4.682$ GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII. The state $X$ could be one of the $C$-even states $X(4013)$, $η_{c}(3S)$, $χ_{c0}(3P)$, $χ_{c1}(3P)$, or $χ_{c2}(3P)$. No significant signal is observed in the corresponding signal region. Upper limits of $σ_{e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowγX}\cdot {\rm Br}_{X\rightarrow D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}}$ at 90% confidence level are provided, where $σ_{e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowγX}$ represents the cross section of the $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowγX$ process, and ${\rm Br}_{X\rightarrow D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}}$ is the branching fraction of the $X\rightarrow D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}$ process.

Measurement of the cross sections of $e^+e^-\to K_{S}^{0}\barΞ^{0}Λ/Σ^{0} + \text{c.c.}$ at center-of-mass energies between 3.510 and 4.951 GeV

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data samples collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII at center-of-mass energies between 3.510 and 4.951 GeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 44.55 fb$^{-1}$, the Born cross sections of the processes $e^+e^- \to K_S^0 \barΞ^0 Λ/Σ^0+\text{c.c.}$ are measured with a partial-reconstruction strategy. The dressed cross sections for the channels $e^+e^- \to K_S^0 \barΞ^0 Λ/Σ^0 + \text{c.c.}$ are fitted with a model consisting of a power-law function and a charmonium (-like) resonance, considering the candidates $ψ(3770)$, $ψ(4040)$, $ψ(4160)$, $Y(4230)$, $Y(4360)$, $ψ(4415)$, $Y(4500)$, $Y(4660)$, and $Y(4710)$. No significant resonance contribution is observed in any of the fits. The upper limits for the products of the electronic partial widths and branching fractions at the 90% confidence level are provided.

First Observation and Dynamical Study of the $D^+_s\to f_{0}(980) μ^+ν_μ$ Decay

Using 7.33 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data recorded with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies from 4.128 to 4.226 GeV, we report the first observation and dynamical study of the semileptonic decay $D^+_s\to f_{0}(980) μ^+ν_μ$. The absolute branching fraction of $D^+_s\to f_{0}(980) μ^+ν_μ$ with $ f_{0}(980)\to π^+ π^-$ is $(1.59 \pm 0.18_{\rm stat} \pm 0.11_{\rm syst}) \times10^{-3}$. Combining this result with our earlier BESIII measurement of ${\mathcal B}(D^+_s\to f_{0}(980) e^+ν_e)$, their ratio is found to be $\frac{{\mathcal B}(D^+_s\to f_{0}(980) μ^+ν_μ)}{{\mathcal B}(D^+_s\to f_{0}(980)e^+ν_e)} = 0.92\pm0.13_{\rm stat}\pm0.08_{\rm syst}$, in agreement with the Standard Model expectation of lepton flavor universality. From a dynamical analysis of the $D_{s}^{+} \to f_{0}(980)μ^+ν_μ$ decay with a simple pole parametrization for the hadronic transition form factor, the product of the form factor $f^{f_{0}(980)}_{+}(0)$ and the $c\to s$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ is determined to be $f^{f_{0}(980)}_{+}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.490\pm0.059_{\rm stat}\pm0.025_{\rm syst}$. Averaging with our previously reported result for the $D_{s}^{+} \to f_{0}(980)e^+ν_e$ decay, we obtain $f^{f_{0}(980)}_{+}(0)|V_{cs}|=0.500\pm0.016_{\rm stat}\pm0.020_{\rm syst}$. Using $|V_{cs}|$ from the CKMfitter group, we extract $f^{f_{0}(980)}_{+}(0)=0.514\pm0.017_{\rm stat}\pm0.021_{\rm syst}$. This represents the most precise determination of the $D_{s} \to f_{0}(980)$ transition form factor to date, and provides stringent tests of various theoretical models.

Exploring baryon semi-leptonic decays through polarization and entanglement

The unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix is a cornerstone of the Standard Model (SM). Precise tests of this unitarity require independent determinations of its elements, such as $|V_{us}|$, which governs the transition between strange and up quarks. Current measurements from kaon and tau decays show tensions that may hint at physics beyond the SM. Hyperon semi-leptonic decays provide alternative probes, but have remained largely untapped because previous experiments lacked sufficient kinematic information, rendering the measurements insensitive to the relevant form factors. Here we report measurements of the axial-vector and weak-magnetism couplings, as well as the first determinations of the absolute branching fraction and weak-electricity coupling in $Λ\to p e^{-}\barν_e$, achieved by exploiting the polarization and quantum entanglement of $Λ\barΛ$ pairs produced at the $J/ψ$ resonance. Combining our results with recent lattice Quantum Chromodynamics calculations gives $|V_{us}|_{\rm LQCD}=0.2339\pm0.0041$, a model-independent determination consistent with CKM unitarity. By pioneering the exploitation of polarization and quantum entanglement in baryon semi-leptonic decays, our method enhances single-event sensitivity and it is broadly applicable to other baryon semi-leptonic decays, establishing the foundation for a systematic research program that can achieve precision comparable to that of kaon decays and provide a stringent independent test of the SM.

Measurement of Born Cross Section for $e^+e^-\to K_S^0\barΞ^+Σ^-+\rm{c.c.}$ at $\sqrt{s} = 3.51-4.95$ GeV

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 44~fb$^{-1}$, we present the first measurement of the Born cross sections for the process $e^+e^-\to K_S^0\barΞ^+Σ^-$ at 56 center-of-mass energies from 3.510 to 4.951~GeV. By fitting the dressed cross sections of $e^+e^-\to K_S^0\barΞ^+Σ^-$ with the assumption of a power-law function plus a charmonium(-like) resonance, i.e. $ψ(3770)$, $ψ(4040)$, $ψ(4160)$, $Y(4230)$, $Y(4360)$, $ψ(4415)$, $Y$(4500), $Y(4660)$, and $Y$(4710), no significant signal of any charmonium(-like) state decaying into the $K_S^0\barΞ^+Σ^-$ is observed. Upper limits on the product of the electronic width and branching fraction at the 90% confidence level are given for each resonance. Combining this result with the previous measurement of the isospin-symmetric process $e^+e^-\to K^{-} \barΞ^{+} Σ^{0} $, the ratio of the Born cross sections, $R=σ^{B}(e^+e^-\to K_S^0\barΞ^+Σ^-)/$$σ^{B}(e^+e^-\to K^-\barΞ^+Σ^0)$, is found to be consistent with unity.

Search for the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0\to K^+π^-η^\prime$ and $D^+\to K^+π^0η^\prime$

We present the first search for the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^0\to K^+π^-η^\prime$ and $D^+\to K^+π^0η^\prime$ using an $e^+e^-$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$, collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II (BEPCII). No significant signals are observed, and the upper limits on their decay branching fractions are set to be $3.0\times 10^{-5}$ and $2.1\times 10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level, respectively. By combining these results with the world-average branching fractions of the corresponding Cabibbo-favored decays, upper limits at the 90% confidence level are obtained on the ratios of doubly Cabibbo-suppressed to Cabibbo-favored branching fractions. The limits are determined to be $1.6\times \tan^4θ_C$ and $3.7\times \tan^4θ_C$ for $D^0\to K^+π^-η^\prime$ and $D^+\to K^+π^0η^\prime$, respectively, where $θ_C$ denotes the Cabibbo mixing angle.

Measurement of the $Λ$ Electric Dipole Moment with an Entangled Baryon-Antibaryon System

The dominance of matter over antimatter in the universe has consistently driven the pursuit of new physics beyond the Standard Model that violates charge-parity symmetry. Strange baryons (hyperons) remain a largely unexplored territory in which interactions between hyperons and particles from new physics could induce a nontrivial electric dipole moment (EDM). However, direct measurements of hyperon EDMs through spin precession are highly challenging owing to their short lifetimes. In this work, we introduce a method to extract the EDM of the lightest hyperon, $Λ$, using the entangled $Λ$$\overlineΛ$ system. Our result is consistent with zero, achieving a three-orders-of-magnitude improvement over the previous upper limit established in the 1980s with comparable statistics, providing stringent constraints on potential new physics.

Measurement of CP Asymmetry Parameters and Polarization Correlations in $Ω^{-}\barΩ^{+}$ Pairs

Using $(2.71 \pm 0.01) \times 10^9$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, a joint full angular distribution analysis is carried out for the process $ψ(3686) \to Ω^-(\toΛK^-) \, \barΩ^{+}(\to \barΛK^+)$. The first simultaneous measurement of the weak decay parameters $ϕ_{Ω^{-}}$ and $ϕ_{\barΩ^{+}}$ for $Ω^- \to K^-Λ$ and $\barΩ^+ \to K^+\barΛ$ is performed, yielding the first result for the CP-sensitive observable, $ϕ_{\rm CP} = (-0.004 \pm 0.055 \pm 0.017)~\text{rad}$, where the first and second uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. This further enables the extraction of the weak and strong phase differences between the $P$- and $D$-wave amplitudes: $(ξ_D - ξ_P) = (-0.15 \pm 2.25 \pm 0.69)~\text{rad}$ and $(δ_D - δ_P) = (-0.97 \pm 0.88 \pm 0.34)~\text{rad}$. Additionally, the polarization correlations between $Ω^{-}$ and $\barΩ^{+}$ are measured.

First Observation of $D^{0(+)}\to \bar Kωe^+ν_e$ and Determination of the Branching Fraction of $\bar K_1(1270)\to \bar K ω$

Using 20.3~fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773~GeV with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of the semileptonic decays \mbox{$D^0\to K^-ωe^+ν_e$} and \mbox{$D^+\to K_S^0ωe^+ν_e$} with significances of $8.0σ$ and $5.8σ$, respectively. Their decay branching fractions are measured to be ${\cal B}(D^0\to K^-ωe^+ν_e)=(9.4^{+2.0}_{-1.8}\pm 0.6)\times10^{-5}$ and ${\cal B}(D^+\to K_S^0ωe^+ν_e)=(8.0^{+2.4}_{-2.1}\pm 0.7)\times10^{-5}$. Combining these with the latest measurements of $D^{0(+)}\to K^-π^+π^{-(0)} e^+ν_e$ and assuming $\bar{K}_1(1270)$ to be the sole mediating resonance in all processes, the branching ratios are determined to be $\frac{Γ(K_1(1270)^-\to K^-π^+π^-)}{Γ(K_1(1270)^-\to K^-ω)} = 3.4^{+0.8}_{-0.7} \pm 0.3$ and $\frac{Γ(\bar{K}_1(1270)^0\to K^-π^+π^0)}{Γ(\bar{K}_1(1270)^0\to \bar{K}^0ω)} = 7.9^{+2.4}_{-2.1} \pm 0.7$. The combined branching fraction is determined to be $\mathcal B(\bar{K}_1(1270)\to \bar{K}ω) = (8.4\pm 1.4 \pm 0.5)\%$, which is the most precise measurement from a collider experiment. Furthermore, %based on the $\bar{K}π^+π^-π^0$ invariant mass spectra, for the first time based on a single vector-pseudoscalar decay channel, the $\bar{K}_1(1270)$ mass is measured to be $(1336 \pm 9 \pm 2)$~MeV/$c^2$, providing unique experimental support for the two-pole structure of the $\bar{K}_1(1270)$ resonance. The first uncertainties are statistical, and the second are systematic.

Study of $K_{S}^{0}$-$K_{L}^{0}$ asymmetry in the decays $D^0 \to K_{S}^{0}ω$ and $D^0 \to K_{L}^{0} ω$

Based on $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.93~$fb^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the absolute branching fractions of the decays $D^0 \to K_{S}^{0} ω$ and $D^0 \to K_{L}^{0} ω$ are measured to be $(11.79 \pm 0.19 \pm 0.26 \pm 0.47) \times 10^{-3}$ and ($10.84 \pm 0.14 \pm 0.23 \pm 0.44) \times 10^{-3}$, respectively. The $K_{S}^{0}- K_{L}^{0}$ branching-fraction asymmetry of these two decays is $R(D^0,K_{S,L}^{0} ω) = \frac{\mathcal{B}(D^0 \to K_{S}^{0} ω) - \mathcal{B}(D^0 \to K_{L}^{0}ω)}{\mathcal{B}(D^0 \to K_{S}^{0} ω) + \mathcal{B}(D^0 \to K_{L}^{0} ω)} =(4.2 \pm 1.0 \pm 0.9 \pm 2.8)\%$. Here, the first uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic, and the third arise from the interference between $D^0 \to K_{S,L}^{0} ω$ and the non-resonant $D^0 \to π^+ π^- π^0 K_{S,L}^{0}$ processes.

Measurement of inelastic scattering $Λ(\overlineΛ)+p\toΣ^{0}(\overlineΣ^{0})+p$ via $e^+e^-\to J/ψ\toΛ\overlineΛ$

Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we investigate the inelastic scattering processes $Λ+p\toΣ^{0}+p$ and $\overlineΛ+p\to\overlineΣ^{0}+p$, exploiting hyperons from $J/ψ\toΛ\overlineΛ$ decays as an effective beam and the beam-pipe materials as targets. The processes $Λ+{}^{9}\mathrm{Be}\toΣ^{0}+p+{}^{8}\mathrm{Li}$ and $\overlineΛ+{}^{9}\mathrm{Be}\to\overlineΣ^{0}+p+{}^{8}\mathrm{Li}$ are measured at a hyperon momentum of $1.074~\mathrm{GeV}/c$, with cross sections of $(10.1\pm1.4_{\rm stat}\pm0.7_{\rm syst})$ mb and $(1.7\pm0.6_{\rm stat}\pm0.4_{\rm syst})$ mb, respectively. Under the assumption of surface-dominated hyperon-nucleus scattering, these measurements are used to extract the corresponding proton-target cross sections. Independently, direct measurements using the hydrogen component of the beam-pipe oil yield $(3.2\pm1.1_{\rm stat}\pm0.5_{\rm syst})$ mb for $Λ+p\toΣ^{0}+p$ and $(1.5\pm0.5_{\rm stat}\pm0.1_{\rm syst})$ mb for $\overlineΛ+p\to\overlineΣ^{0}+p$, consistent with the indirect determinations. The combined cross sections are $(4.7\pm0.7)$ mb and $(1.1\pm0.3)$ mb, respectively. The $\overlineΛ+p\to\overlineΣ^{0}+p$ signal constitutes the first evidence for anti-hyperon inelastic scattering with baryonic final states, with a significance of $3.1σ$. The pronounced difference between the $Λp$ and $\overlineΛp$ inelastic scattering cross sections provides new experimental constraints on hyperon-nucleon and anti-hyperon-nucleon interactions.

Observation of the $X(2370)$ in $J/ψ\rightarrowγK^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}π^{0}$ and $J/ψ\rightarrowγπ^{0}π^{0}η$

The $X(2370)$ is observed in both the $K^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}π^{0}$ and $π^{0}π^{0}η$ invariant mass spectra, with statistical significances greater than $14σ$ and $20σ$, respectively. By combining measurements from these processes with those from the previously reported $J/ψ\rightarrowγK^{0}_{S}K^{0}_{S}η^{\prime}$ process, the mass and width of the $X(2370)$ are determined to be $2359^{+13}_{-14}~\text{MeV}/c^{2}$ and $170^{+44}_{-29}~\text{MeV}$, respectively. In addition, the decay $X(2370)\to a_{0}(980)^{0}π^{0}$ with $a_{0}(980)^{0}\to π^{0}η$ is observed with a statistical significance exceeding $9σ$. The properties of the $X(2370)$\textemdash decay pattern similarities to that of $η_{c}$, are consistent with those of a pseudoscalar glueball.

Production and Decay Dynamics of the Charmed Baryon $Λ_c^+$ in $e^+e^-$ Annihilations near Threshold

The study of the charmed baryons is crucial for investigating the strong and weak interactions in the standard model and for gaining insights into the internal structure of baryons. In an $e^+e^-$ experiment the lightest charmed baryon, $Λ_c^+$, can be produced in pairs through the single-photon annihilation process. This process can be described by two complex electromagnetic form factors. The presence of a nonzero relative phase between these form factors gives rise to a transverse polarization of the charmed baryon and provides additional constraints on the dynamic parameters in the decays. In this article, we present the first observation of the transverse polarization of $Λ_{c}^{+}$ in the reaction $e^+e^- \to Λ_c^{+}\barΛ_c^-$, based on $6.4~\text{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data collected at center-of-mass energies between $4600$~MeV and $4951$~MeV with the BESIII detector. The decay asymmetry parameters in the decays $Λ_c^+ \to pK_S^0$, $Λπ^+$, $Σ^0π^+$, and $Σ^+π^0$ are simultaneously extracted from the joint angular distributions. By independently extracting the above parameters for the process and its $C\!P$-conjugate counterpart, we derive both the strong and weak phase differences between different partial waves, and test several $C\!P$ observables. The obtained results fully demonstrate the feasibility of exploiting transverse polarization at electron-positron colliders to search for $C\!P$-violating effects, opening up a new avenue for exploring $C\!P$ violation in the charmed baryon sector.

Observation of the $χ_{cJ}$ decays into $pK^{-}\barΛη+\mathrm{c.c.}$

By analyzing $(2712.4 \pm 14.3) \times 10^{6}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the decays $χ_{cJ} \to pK^{-}\barΛη+ \mathrm{c.c.}$ ($J=0,1,2$) are observed for the first time, with statistical significances exceeding $5σ$ for all three $χ_{cJ}$ states. The measured branching fractions are $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0} \to pK^{-}\barΛη+ \mathrm{c.c.}) = (5.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.5) \times 10^{-5}$, $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c1} \to pK^{-}\barΛη+ \mathrm{c.c.}) = (9.8 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-5}$, and $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c2} \to pK^{-}\barΛη+ \mathrm{c.c.}) = (9.3 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.6) \times 10^{-5}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Structures consistent with the known hyperon resonances $Λ(1520)$ and $\barΛ(1690)$ are seen in the $pK^{-}$ and $\barΛη$ invariant mass spectra, respectively. The reported branching fractions include both resonant and non-resonant contributions. These results provide new experimental information on hadronic decays of $P$-wave charmonium states and contribute to the understanding of baryon production and hadronization dynamics in the nonperturbative QCD regime.
