Using e+e− annihilation data corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb−1 collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, we perform an amplitude analysis of the decay D+s→K0SK0Sπ+ for the first time. An enhancement is observed in the K0SK0S mass spectrum near 1.7 GeV/c2, which was not seen in D+s→K+K−π+ in an earlier work, implying the existence of an isospin one partner of the f0(1710). The branching fraction of the decay D+s→K0SK0Sπ+ is determined to be B(D+s→K0SK0Sπ+)=(0.68±0.04stat±0.01syst)%.
Based on an 𝑒+𝑒− collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1 collected with the BESIII detector at √𝑠=3.773 GeV, the first amplitude analysis of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay 𝐷+→𝐾+𝐾0𝑆𝜋0 is performed. From the amplitude analysis, the 𝐾*(892)+𝐾0𝑆 component is found to be dominant with a fraction of (57.1±2.6±4.2)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In combination with the absolute branching fraction ℬ(𝐷+→𝐾+𝐾0𝑆𝜋0) measured by BESIII, we obtain ℬ(𝐷+→𝐾*(892)+𝐾0𝑆)=(8.69±0.40±0.64±0.51)×10−3, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction ℬ(𝐷+→𝐾+𝐾0𝑆𝜋0). The precision of this result is significantly improved compared to the previous measurement. This result also differs from most of theoretical predictions by about 4𝜎, which may help to improve the understanding of the dynamics behind.

From the amplitude analysis, the K∗(892)+K0S component is found to be dominant with a fraction of (57.1±2.6±4.2)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. In combination with the absolute branching fraction B(D+→K+K0Sπ0) measured by BESIII, we obtain B(D+→K∗(892)+K0S)=(8.69±0.40±0.64±0.51)×10−3, where the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction B(D+→K+K0Sπ0). The precision of this result is significantly improved compared to the previous measurement.

The e+e−→D+sDs1(2536)− and e+e−→D+sD∗s2(2573)− processes are studied using data samples collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies from 4.530 to 4.946~GeV. The absolute branching fractions of Ds1(2536)−→D¯∗0K− and D∗s2(2573)−→D¯0K− are measured for the first time to be (35.9±4.8±3.5)% and (37.4±3.1±4.6)%, respectively. The measurements are in tension with predictions based on the assumption that the Ds1(2536) and D∗s2(2573) are dominated by a bare cs¯ component. The e+e−→D+sDs1(2536)− and e+e−→D+sD∗s2(2573)− cross sections are measured, and a resonant structure at around 4.6~GeV with a width of 50~MeV is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of 15σ in the e+e−→D+sD∗s2(2573)− process. It could be the Y(4626) found by the Belle collaboration in the D+sDs1(2536)− final state, since they have similar masses and widths. There is also evidence for a structure at around 4.75~GeV in both processes.
We study the electromagnetic Dalitz decay 𝐽/𝜓→𝑒+𝑒−𝜂 and search for dielectron decays of a dark gauge boson (𝛾′) in 𝐽/𝜓→𝛾′𝜂 with the two 𝜂 decay modes 𝜂→𝛾𝛾 and 𝜂→𝜋+𝜋−𝜋0 using (1310.6±7.0)×106 𝐽/𝜓 events collected with the BESIII detector. The branching fraction of 𝐽/𝜓→𝑒+𝑒−𝜂 is measured to be (1.43±0.04(stat)±0.06(syst))×10−5, with a precision that is improved by a factor of 1.5 over the previous BESIII measurement. The corresponding dielectron invariant mass dependent modulus square of the transition form factor is explored for the first time, and the pole mass is determined to be Λ=2.84±0.11(stat)±0.08(syst) GeV/𝑐2. We find no evidence of 𝛾′ production and set 90% confidence level upper limits on the product branching fraction ℬ(𝐽/𝜓→𝛾′𝜂)×ℬ(𝛾′→𝑒+𝑒−) as well as the kinetic mixing strength between the standard model photon and 𝛾′ in the mass range of 0.01≤𝑚𝛾′≤2.4 GeV/𝑐2.
Using 6.32~fb−1 of e+e− collision data recorded by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 to 4.226 GeV, we present the first measurement of the decay D+s→f0(980)e+νe,f0(980)→π0π0. The product branching fraction of D+s→f0(980)e+νe,f0(980)→π0π0 is measured to be (7.9±1.4stat±0.3syst)×10−4, with a statistical significance of 7.8σ. Furthermore, the upper limits on the product branching fractions of D+s→f0(500)e+νe with f0(500)→π0π0 and the branching fraction of D+s→K0SK0Se+νe are set to be 7.3×10−4 and 3.8×10−4 at 90\% confidence level, respectively. Our results provide valuable inputs to the understanding of the structures of light scalar mesons.
We study the decays of J/ψ and ψ(3686) to the final states Σ(1385)0Σ¯(1385)0 and Ξ0Ξ¯0 based on a single baryon tag method using data samples of (1310.6±7.0)×106 J/ψ and (447.9±2.9)×106 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decays to Σ(1385)0Σ¯(1385)0 are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions of J/ψ and ψ(3686)→Ξ0Ξ¯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→Σ(1385)0Σ¯(1385)0, α=−0.64±0.03±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)→ΞΞ¯ and Σ(1385)Σ¯(1385) systems are tested.
Based on (2712.4±14.1)×106 𝜓(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we study the decays ℎ𝑐→3(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜋0, ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜔, ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜋0𝜂, ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜂, and ℎ𝑐→𝑝¯𝑝 via 𝜓(3686)→𝜋0ℎ𝑐. The decay channel ℎ𝑐→3(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜋0 is observed for the first time, and its branching fraction is determined to be (9.28±1.14±0.77)×10−3, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, first evidence is found for the modes ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜋0𝜂 and ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜔 with significances of 4.8𝜎 and 4.7𝜎, and their branching fractions are determined to be (7.55±1.51±0.77)×10−3 and (4.00±0.86±0.35)×10−3, respectively. No significant signals of ℎ𝑐→2(𝜋+𝜋−)𝜂 and ℎ𝑐→𝑝¯𝑝 are observed, and the upper limits of the branching fractions of these decays are determined to be <6.19×10−4 and <4.40×10−5 at the 90% confidence level, respectively.
Using data samples with an integrated luminosity of 4.5 fb−1 collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.66 to 4.95 GeV, we study the processes of e+e−→ωX(3872) and e+e−→γX(3872). With the e+e−→ωX(3872) process, the branching fraction ratio R≡B(X(3872)→γJ/ψ)B(X(3872)→π+π−J/ψ) is measured to be 0.38±0.20stat.±0.01syst. (R<0.83 at 90\% confidence level). In addition, we measure the ratio of the average cross section of e+e−→ωX(3872) to e+e−→ωχc1(ωχc2) to be σωX(3872)/σωχc1 (σωX(3872)/σωχc2)=5.2±1.0stat.±1.9syst. (5.5±1.1stat.±2.4syst.). Finally, we search for the process of e+e−→γX(3872), and no obvious signal is observed. The upper limit on the ratio of the average cross section of e+e−→γX(3872) to e+e−→ωX(3872) is set as σγX(3872)/σωX(3872)<0.23 at 90\% confidence level.
With the data samples taken at center-of-mass energies from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis on the e+e−→π+π−π0 process is performed. The Born cross sections for e+e−→π+π−π0 and its intermediate processes e+e−→ρπ and ρ(1450)π are measured as functions of s√. The results for e+e−→π+π−π0 are consistent with previous results measured with the initial state radiation method within one standard deviation, and improve the uncertainty by a factor of ten. By fitting the line shapes of the Born cross sections for the e+e−→ρπ and ρ(1450)π, a structure with mass M=2119±11±15 MeV/c2 and width Γ=69±30±5MeV is observed with a significance of 5.9σ, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. This structure can be intepreteted as an excited ω state.
