Observation of $η_c(1S)\to Σ^0\bar Σ^0$ and search for $h_c(1P)\to Σ^0\bar Σ^0$ via $ψ(3686)$ transitions

Using $(2712.4 \pm 14.3) \times 10^6~ψ(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the hadronic decay $η_{c}\toΣ^{0}\bar{Σ^{0}}$ is observed for the first time via the radiative transition from $ψ(3686)$. It is found that the branching fraction has a significant dependence on the interference pattern between $η_c(1S)$ and non-$η_c(1S)$ processes. They are determined to be $\displaystyle\mathcal{B}(η_c(1S) \to Σ^{0}\bar{Σ^{0}}) = (2.59 \pm 0.14(stat) \pm 0.44(syst)) \times 10^{-3}$ and $(1.18 \pm 0.12(stat) \pm 0.21(syst)) \times 10^{-3}$, for the destructive and constructive interference scenarios, respectively. No significant signal is observed for the decay $h_{c}\toΣ^{0}\bar{Σ^{0}}$ in the hadronic transition $ψ(3686)\toπ^0h_{c}$, and an upper limit on its branching fraction is set to be $1.02\times 10^{-4}$ at the 90\% confidence level.

Study of $ϕ\to K\bar{K}$ in the amplitude analysis of $D^{+}\to K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}π^{+}$

We present the first amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of $D^{+} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}π^{+}$ decay. The analysis uses a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3~$\rm fb^{-1}$, which was recorded at a center-of-mass energy 3.773~GeV by the BESIII detector. The measured branching fraction is $\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \rightarrow K_{S}^{0}K_{L}^{0}π^{+})=(5.780\pm0.085\pm 0.052)\times10^{-3}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. Using the known value of ${\cal B}(D^+ \to ϕπ^+,\,ϕ\to K^+K^-)$, we determine the relative branching fraction between $ϕ\to K_{S}^0K_{L}^0$ and $ϕ\to K^+K^-$ to be $\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to ϕπ^{+}, ϕ\to K_{S}^0K_{L}^0)/\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to ϕπ^{+}, ϕ\to K^+K^-)= 0.628\pm0.022\pm 0.015\pm0.017$, where the third uncertainty is related to $\mathcal{B}(D^{+} \to ϕπ^{+}, ϕ\to K^+K^-)$. This result is significantly lower than the previous world average and is consistent with the isospin expectation for the $ϕ$ meson's coupling to charged and neutral kaon pairs.

Measurement of the branching fractions of $χ_{cJ} \to π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}π^{0}$ via $ψ(3686) \to γχ_{cJ}$

Using $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times 10^6$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at BEPCII, the branching fractions of $χ_{cJ}\toπ^+π^-π^0π^0$ ($J=0,~1,~2$) are measured via the radiative transition $ψ(3686)\toγχ_{cJ}$. The results are $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c0} \to π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}π^{0}) = (3.10 \pm 0.01 \pm 0.14) \times 10^{-2}$, $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c1} \to π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}π^{0}) = (1.16 \pm 0.01 \pm 0.05) \times 10^{-2}$, and $\mathcal{B}(χ_{c2} \to π^{+}π^{-}π^{0}π^{0}) = (1.92 \pm 0.01 \pm 0.08) \times 10^{-2}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. The dominant intermediate states are found to be $χ_{cJ}\toρ^+ρ^-$. These results supersede the previous most precise measurements and provide significantly improved precision.

Measurement of the CKM angle $γ$ in $B^{\pm} \rightarrow D(\rightarrow K^{0}_{\rm S} h^{\prime+}h^{\prime-})h^{\pm}$ decays with a novel approach

A measurement of the CKM angle $γ$ and related strong-phase parameters is performed using a novel, model-independent approach in ${B^{\pm}\rightarrow D(\rightarrow K^{0}_{\rm S} h^{\prime+}h^{\prime-}) h^{\pm}}$ decays, where $h^{(\prime)} \equiv π, K$. The analysis uses a joint data sample of electron-positron collisions collected by the BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II during 2010--2011 and 2021--2022, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8 fb$^{-1}$, and proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during 2011--2018, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb$^{-1}$. The two datasets are analyzed simultaneously by applying per-event weights based on the amplitude variation over the $D$-decay phase space to enhance the sensitivity to $C\!P$-violating observables. The CKM angle $γ$ is determined to be $γ= (71.3\pm 5.0)^{\circ}$, which constitutes the most precise single measurement to date.

Precise measurement of the CKM angle $γ$ with a novel approach

A measurement of the CKM angle $γ$ is performed by applying a novel, unbinned, model-independent approach to datasets of electron-positron collisions collected by the BESIII experiment and proton-proton collisions by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 8 fb$^{-1}$ and 9 fb$^{-1}$, respectively. The $C\!P$-violating phase $γ$ is determined from ${B^{\pm}\rightarrow D(\rightarrow K_{\rm S}^{0} h^{\prime+}h^{\prime-}) h^{\pm}}$ decays in LHCb data, where $h^{(\prime)}$ is either a pion or kaon, while the corresponding strong-phase parameters are measured using doubly tagged ${D\rightarrow K_{\rm S/L}^0 h^{\prime+} h^{\prime-}}$ decays in the quantum-correlated $D\overline{D}$ system present in BESIII data. A joint fit to both datasets, which allows for a simultaneous determination of the associated $C\!P$-violating observables and strong-phase parameters, yields ${γ= (71.3\pm 5.0)^{\circ}}$. The result is the most precise to date and consistent with previous measurements and world averages.

Amplitude analysis and branching fraction measurement of the decay $D^0 \to K^+K^-π^0π^0$

An amplitude analysis of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0 \to K^+ K^- π^0 π^0$ is performed, for the first time, to determine the relative magnitudes and phases of different intermediate processes. The analysis uses $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy 3.773~GeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 $\rm fb^{-1}$. The absolute branching fraction of $D^0 \to K^+ K^- π^0 π^0$ is measured to be \BF. The dominant intermediate process is $D^0 \to K^{*}(892)^+K^{*}(892)^-$, with a branching fraction of $(2.79 \pm 0.13_{\rm{stat.}} \pm 0.11_{\rm{syst.}}) \times 10^{-3}$. Amplitude analysis reveals that the $D^0 \to K^{*}(892)^+K^{*}(892)^-$ decay is S-wave dominant. The longitudinal polarization fraction of $D^0 \to K^{*}(892)^+ K^{*}(892)^-$ is measured to be $0.468\pm0.046_{\rm{stat.}}\pm0.011_{\rm{syst.}}$.

Search for a massless particle beyond the Standard Model in the $Ξ^0\toΛ+ \text{invisible}$ decay

A search for a massless beyond-standard-model particle is performed in the decay $Ξ^{0}\toΛ+\text{invisible}$ using $(1.0087 \pm 0.0044)\times 10^{10}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. No significant signal is observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(Ξ^{0}\toΛ+\text{invisible})$ is set to be $2.3 \times 10^{-4}$ at the $90\%$ confidence level. This is the first search for a flavor-changing neutral current process with missing energy in $Ξ^0$ decays. Throughout this paper, charge-conjugate processes are always implied.

An improved measurement of $η^\prime\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω$

Using a sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times 10^{6}$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an improved measurement of the decay $η^{\prime}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω$, with $ω\rightarrowπ^{+}π^{-}π^{0}$ and $π^{0}\rightarrowγγ$ is performed. The branching fraction is determined to be $\mathcal{B}(η^{\prime}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}ω) = (1.79 \pm 0.09 \pm 0.12) \times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is consistent with the previous measurement and is obtained with significantly improved precision. Furthermore, the first measurement of the transition form factor cutoff parameter for this decay is reported, with $Λ^{-1} = (2.92 \pm 0.83 \pm 0.15)~\text{GeV}^{-1}$. These measurements provide valuable input for understanding the internal structure of the $η^{\prime}$ meson and testing theoretical models.

First observation of the $η_{c}\toΞ^{0} \barΞ^{0}$ decay

Using $(10087\pm 44)\times 10^6$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the decay $η_{c} \to Ξ^{0} \barΞ^{0}$. The interference between $J/ψ\toγη_c\toγΞ^0\barΞ^0$ and $J/ψ\toγΞ^0\barΞ^0|_{\rm non-resonance}$ is considered in the $Ξ^0 \barΞ^0$ mass spectrum fits. The branching fractions are measured to be $B(η_c \to Ξ^0 \barΞ^0)=(1.33 \pm 0.03 \pm 0.18) \times 10^{-3}$ for the constructive interference and $B(η_c \to Ξ^0 \barΞ^0)=(1.63 \pm 0.04 \pm 0.21) \times 10^{-3}$ for the destructive interference, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Search for $ψ_0(4360)\rightarrow ηψ(2S)$ through the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow ηηψ(2S)$

Using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at the center-of-mass energies of 4.84, 4.92, and 4.95~GeV, we search for the exotic charmonium-like state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{--}$, $ψ_0(4360)$, in the process $e^+e^-\rightarrowηψ_0(4360)$ with $ψ_0(4360)\rightarrowηψ(2S)$. No significant signal of the $ψ_0(4360)$ resonance state is observed. Upper limits on $σ(e^+e^-\rightarrowηψ_0(4360))\cdot {B}(ψ_0(4360)\rightarrowηψ(2S))$ and $σ(e^+e^-\rightarrowηηψ(2S))$ at the 90\% confidence level are determined for each energy point.
