Observation of $D^0\to K_1(1270)^- e^+ν_e$

Using 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data taken with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 $\rm \,GeV$, the observation of the $D^0\to K_1(1270)^- e^+ν_e$ semileptonic decay is presented. The statistical significance of the decay $D^0\to K_1(1270)^- e^+ν_e$ is greater than $10σ$. The branching fraction of $D^0\to K_1(1270)^- e^+ν_e$ is measured to be $(1.09\pm0.13^{+0.09}_{-0.16} \pm 0.12)\times10^{-3}$. Here, the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third originates from the assumed branching fraction of $K_1(1270)^- \rightarrow K^-π^+π^-$. The fraction of longitudinal polarization in $D^0\to K_1(1270)^- e^+ν_e$ is determined for the first time to be $0.50\pm0.19_{\rm stat}\pm0.08_{\rm syst}$.

Measurement of the branching fraction of leptonic decay $D_s^+\toτ^+ν_τ$ via $τ^+\toπ^+π^0\bar ν_τ$

By analyzing $6.32~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at the center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226\,GeV with the BESIII detector, we determine the branching fraction of the leptonic decay $D_s^+\toτ^+ν_τ$ with $τ^+\toπ^+π^0\bar ν_τ$, to be $\mathcal{B}_{D_s^+\toτ^+ν_τ}=(5.29\pm0.25_{\rm stat}\pm0.20_{\rm syst})\%$. We estimate the product of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cs}|$ and the $D_s^+$ decay constant $f_{D^+_s}$ to be $f_{D_s^+}|V_{cs}|=(244.8\pm5.8_{\rm stat}\pm4.8_{\rm syst})~\mathrm{MeV}$ using the known values of the $τ^+$ and $D_s^+$ masses as well as the $D_s^+$ lifetime, together with our branching fraction measurement. Combining with the value of $|V_{cs}|$ obtained from a global fit in the standard model and $f_{D_s^+}$ from lattice quantum chromodynamics, we obtain $f_{D_s^+}=(251.6\pm5.9_{\rm stat}\pm4.9_{\rm syst})$\,MeV and $|V_{cs}| = 0.980\pm0.023_{\rm stat}\pm0.019_{\rm syst}$.

A New Class of Structured Beamforming for Content-Centric Fog Radio Access Networks

A multi-user fog radio access network (F-RAN) is designed for supporting content-centric services. The requested contents are partitioned into sub-contents, which are then 'beam- formed' by the remote radio heads (RRHs) for transmission to the users. Since a large number of beamformers must be designed, this poses a computational challenge. We tackle this challenge by proposing a new class of regularized zero forcing beamforming (RZFB) for directly mitigating the inter-content interferences, while the 'intra-content interference' is mitigated by successive interference cancellation at the user end. Thus each beamformer is decided by a single real variable (for proper Gaus- sian signaling) or by a pair of complex variables (for improper Gaussian signaling). Hence the total number of decision variables is substantially reduced to facilitate tractable computation. To address the problem of energy efficiency optimization subject to multiple constraints, such as individual user-rate requirement and the fronthauling constraint of the links between the RRHs and the centralized baseband signal processing unit, as well as the total transmit power budget, we develop low-complexity path- following algorithms. Finally, we actualize their performance by simulations.

Linear-in temperature resistivity from an isotropic Planckian scattering rate

A variety of "strange metals" exhibit resistivity that decreases linearly with temperature as $T\rightarrow 0$, in contrast with conventional metals where resistivity decreases as $T^2$. This $T$-linear resistivity has been attributed to charge carriers scattering at a rate given by $\hbar/τ=αk_{\rm B} T$, where $α$ is a constant of order unity. This simple relationship between the scattering rate and temperature is observed across a wide variety of materials, suggesting a fundamental upper limit on scattering---the "Planckian limit"---but little is known about the underlying origins of this limit. Here we report a measurement of the angle-dependent magnetoresistance (ADMR) of Nd-LSCO---a hole-doped cuprate that displays $T$-linear resistivity down to the lowest measured temperatures. The ADMR unveils a well-defined Fermi surface that agrees quantitatively with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and reveals a $T$-linear scattering rate that saturates the Planckian limit, namely $α= 1.2 \pm 0.4$. Remarkably, we find that this Planckian scattering rate is isotropic, i.e. it is independent of direction, in contrast with expectations from "hot-spot" models. Our findings suggest that $T$-linear resistivity in strange metals emerges from a momentum-independent inelastic scattering rate that reaches the Planckian limit.

Measurement of cross section for $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowΞ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ near threshold

Using $e^+e^-$ collision data at ten center-of-mass energies between 2.644 and 3.080 GeV collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 500 pb$^{-1}$, we measure the cross sections and effective form factors for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowΞ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ utilizing a single-tag method. A fit to the cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowΞ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ with a pQCD-driven power function is performed, from which no significant resonance or threshold enhancement is observed. In addition, the ratio of cross sections for the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowΞ^{-}\barΞ^{+}$ and $Ξ^{0}\barΞ^{0}$ is calculated using recent BESIII measurement and is found to be compatible with expectation from isospin symmetry.

Amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}π^{+}$

We report an amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of $D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}π^{+}$ decay using a data sample of 3.19 $\rm fb^{-1}$ recorded with BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 4.178 GeV. We perform a model-independent partial wave analysis in the low $K^{+}K^{-}$ mass region to determine the $K^{+}K^{-}$ S-wave lineshape, followed by an amplitude analysis of our very pure high-statistics sample. The amplitude analysis provides an accurate determination of the detection efficiency allowing us to measure the branching fraction ${\cal B}(D_{s}^{+} \rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}π^{+}) = (5.47\pm0.08_{\rm stat}\pm0.13_{\rm sys})\%$.

Study of the decay $D^+\to K^*(892)^+ K_S^0$ in $D^+\to K^+ K_S^0 π^0$

Based on an $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 $\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}=3.773 \mathrm{GeV}$, the first amplitude analysis of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^{+}\to K^+ K_S^0 π^0$ is performed. From the amplitude analysis, the $K^*(892)^+ K_S^0$ component is found to be dominant with a fraction of $(57.1\pm2.6\pm4.2)\%$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In combination with the absolute branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(D^+\to K^+ K_S^0 π^0)$ measured by BESIII, we obtain $\mathcal{B}(D^+\to K^*(892)^+ K_S^0)=(8.69\pm0.40\pm0.64\pm0.51)\times10^{-3}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(D^+\to K^+ K_S^0 π^0)$. The precision of this result is significantly improved compared to the previous measurement.

First Measurement of the Absolute Branching Fraction of $Λ\to p μ^- \barν_μ$

The absolute branching fraction of $Λ\to p μ^- \barν_μ$ is reported for the first time based on an $e^+e^-$ annihilation sample of ten billion $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at $\sqrt{s}=3.097$ GeV. The branching fraction is determined to be ${\mathcal B}(Λ\to pμ^- \barν_μ) = [1.48\pm0.21(\rm stat) \pm 0.08(\rm syst)]\times 10^{-4}$, which is a significant improvement in precision over the previous indirect measurements. Combining this result with the world average of ${\mathcal B}(Λ\to p e^- \barν_{e})$, we obtain the ratio, $\frac{Γ(Λ\to p μ^- \barν_μ)}{Γ(Λ\to p e^- \barν_{e})}$, to be $0.178 \pm 0.028$, which agrees with the standard model prediction assuming lepton flavor universality. The asymmetry of the branching fractions of $Λ\to p μ^- \barν_μ$ and $\barΛ \to \bar{p} μ^+ ν_μ$ is also determined, and no evidence for $CP$ violation is found.

Study of the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrowϕη$ at center-of-mass energies between 2.00 and 3.08 GeV

The process $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow ϕη$ is studied at 22 center-of-mass energy points ($\sqrt{s}$) between 2.00 and 3.08 GeV using 715 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the BESIII detector. The measured Born cross section of $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow ϕη$ is found to be consistent with {\textsl{BABAR}} measurements, but with improved precision. A resonant structure around 2.175 GeV is observed with a significance of 6.9$σ$ with mass ($2163.5\pm6.2\pm3.0$) MeV/$c^{2}$ and width ($31.1_{-11.6}^{+21.1}\pm1.1$) MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Search for the rare semi-leptonic decay $J/ψ\to D^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}+c.c.$

Using $10.1\times10^{9}$ $J/ψ$ events produced by the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=3.097~\rm{GeV}$ and collected with the BESIII detector, we present a search for the rare semi-leptonic decay $J/ψ\to D^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}+c.c.$. No excess of signal above background is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/ψ\to D^{-}e^{+}ν_{e}+c.c.)<7.1\times10^{-8}$ is obtained at $90\%$ confidence level. This is an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude over the previous best limit.

Search for the lepton number violating decay $Σ^{-} \to p e^{-} e^{-}$ and the rare inclusive decay $Σ^{-} \to Σ^{+} X$

Using a data sample of $(1310.6 \pm 7.0) \times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ events taken with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.097 GeV, we search for the first time for the lepton number violating decay $Σ^{-} \to p e^{-} e^{-}$ and the rare inclusive decay $Σ^{-} \to Σ^{+} X$, where $X$ denotes any possible particle combination. The $Σ^-$ candidates are tagged in $J/ψ\to \barΣ(1385)^+Σ^-$ decays. No signal candidates are found, and the upper limits on the branching fractions at the 90\% confidence level are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(Σ^{-} \to p e^{-} e^{-}) < 6.7 \times 10^{-5}$ and $\mathcal{B}(Σ^{-} \to Σ^{+} X) < 1.2 \times 10^{-4}$.

Measurement of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-π^0$ with semileptonic tags

Using an $e^+e^-$ annihilation data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $2.93\,\rm fb^{-1}$ collected at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-π^0$ is studied with a semileptonic tag method. After removing the decays containing narrow intermediate resonances, $D^+\to K^+η$, $D^+\to K^+ω$, and $D^+\to K^+ϕ$, the branching fraction for the decay $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-π^0$ is determined to be $(1.03 \pm 0.12_{\rm stat} \pm 0.06_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-3}$. The ratio of the branching fraction for $D^+\to K^+π^+π^-π^0$ to its Cabibbo-favored counterpart $D^+\to K^-π^+π^+π^0$ is measured to be $ (1.65\pm0.21)\%$, corresponding to $(5.73\pm0.73)\tan^4θ_C$, where $θ_C$ is the Cabibbo mixing angle. These results are consistent with our previous measurement with hadronic tags but are significantly larger than other doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays in the charm sector.

Cross section measurement of $e^{+}e^{-} \to K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}$ at $\sqrt{s}=2.00-3.08~{\rm GeV}$

The cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}$ are measured at fifteen center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}$ from $2.00$ to $3.08~{\rm GeV}$ with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII).

The product of its radiative width ($Γ_{e^+e^-}$) with its branching fraction to $K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}$ ($Br_{K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}}$) is $0.9 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.7~{\rm eV}$.

Weak phases and CP-symmetry tests in sequential decays of entangled double-strange baryons

Using a sample of $1.31\times10^9$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the electron-positron collider BEPCII, we analyse the full $J/ψ\to$ $Ξ^-\overlineΞ^+$, $Ξ^-\to Λπ^-$, $Λ\to pπ^-$, $\overlineΞ^+\to\overlineΛπ^+$, $\overlineΛ\to\overline{p}π^+$ decay chain. A new method, exploiting the fact that the $Ξ^-\overlineΞ^+$ pair is entangled and sequentially decaying, and where the complete decay chains are reconstructed, is applied for the first time. This enables precision measurements of the decay parameters for the $Ξ^-\toΛπ^-$ decay ($α_Ξ$, $ϕ_Ξ$) as well as the $\overlineΞ^+\to\overlineΛπ^+$ decay ($\overlineα_Ξ$, $\overlineϕ_Ξ$). From the decay parameters, two independent CP tests were performed, quantified by the observables $A_{\rm CP}^Ξ$ and $Δϕ_Ξ$. Our results, $A_{\rm CP}^Ξ$ = $(6.0\pm13.4\pm5.6)\times10^{-3}$ and $Δϕ_Ξ= (-4.8\pm13.7\pm2.9)\times10^{-3}~{\rm rad}$, are consistent with CP symmetry. Furthermore, our method enables a separation of strong and weak $Ξ\toΛπ$ decay amplitudes. This results in the first direct measurement of the weak phase difference for any baryon decay. The result is found to be $(ξ_{P} - ξ_{S}) = (1.2\pm3.4\pm0.8)\times10^{-2}$ rad and is one of the most precise tests of CP symmetry for strange baryons. The strong phase difference is measured to be $(δ_P - δ_S) = (-4.0\pm3.3\pm1.7)\times10^{-2}$ rad. In addition, we provide an independent measurement of the recently debated $Λ$ decay parameter, $α_Λ = 0.757 \pm 0.011 \pm 0.008 $. The $Λ\overlineΛ$ asymmetry is measured to be $A_{\rm CP}^Λ = (-3.7\pm11.7\pm9.0)\times10^{-3}$.
