Using a total of 11.0 fb−1 of e+e− collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.009 GeV and 4.6 GeV and collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we measure fifteen exclusive cross sections and effective form factors for the process e+e−→Ξ−Ξ¯+ by means of a single baryon-tag method. After performing a fit to the dressed cross section of e+e−→Ξ−Ξ¯+, no significant ψ(4230) or ψ(4260) resonance is observed in the Ξ−Ξ¯+ final states, and upper limits at the 90\% confidence level on ΓeeB for the processes ψ(4230)/ψ(4260)→Ξ−Ξ¯+ are determined. In addition, an excited Ξ baryon at 1820 MeV/c2 is observed with a statistical significance of 6.2 ∼ 6.5σ by including the systematic uncertainty, and the mass and width are measured to be M=(1825.5±4.7±4.7)~MeV/c2 and Γ=(17.0±15.0±7.9)~MeV, which confirms the existence of the JP=32− state Ξ(1820).
Using a total of 9.0 fb−1 of e+e− collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.15 and 4.30 GeV collected by the BESIII detector, we search for the processes e+e−→γX(3872) with X(3872)→π0χcJ for J=0,1,2. We report the first observation of X(3872)→π0χc1, a new decay mode of the X(3872), with a statistical significance of more than 5σ. Normalizing to the previously established process e+e−→γX(3872) with X(3872)→π+π−J/ψ, we find B(X(3872)→π0χc1)/B(X(3872)→π+π−J/ψ)=0.88+0.33−0.27±0.10, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. We set 90% confidence level upper limits on the corresponding ratios for the decays to π0χc0 and π0χc2 of 19 and 1.1, respectively.
Using 448.1 × 106 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we employ a single-baryon tagging technique to make the first observation of ψ(3686) → Ξ(1530)−Ξ¯(1530)+ and Ξ(1530)−Ξ¯+ decays with a statistical significance of more than 10σ and 5.0σ, respectively. The branching fractions are measured to be B[ψ(3686)→Ξ(1530)−Ξ¯(1530)+] = (11.45 ± 0.40 ± 0.59) × 10−5 and B[ψ(3686)→Ξ(1530)−Ξ¯+] = (0.70 ± 0.11 ± 0.04) × 10−5. The angular distribution parameter for ψ(3686) → Ξ(1530)−Ξ¯(1530)+ is determined to be α = 0.40 ± 0.24 ± 0.06, which agrees with the theoretical predictions within 1σ. The first uncertainties are statistical, and the second systematic.
Using a 2.93 fb−1 data sample of electron-positron collisions taken with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, which corresponds to (8296±31±64)×103D+D− pairs, we search for the baryon and lepton number violating decays D+→Λ¯(Σ¯0)e+ and D+→Λ(Σ0)e+. No obvious signals are found with the current statistics and upper limits on the branching fractions of these four decays are set at the level of 10−6 at 90% confidence level.
A search for the rare radiative leptonic decay D+s→γe+νe is performed for the first time using electron-positron collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.19 fb−1, collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of 4.178 GeV. No evidence for the D+s→γe+νe decay is seen and an upper limit of B(D+s→γe+νe)<1.3×10−4 is set on the partial branching fraction at a 90\% confidence level for radiative photon energies E∗γ>0.01~GeV.
A massless particle beyond the Standard Model is searched for in the two-body decay Σ+→p+invisible using (1.0087±0.0044)×1010 J/ψ events collected at a center-of-mass energy of s√=3.097 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. No significant signal is observed, and the upper limit on the branching fraction B(Σ+→p+invisible) is determined to be 3.2×10−5 at the 90% confidence level. This is the first search for a flavor-changing neutral current process with missing energy in hyperon decays which plays an important role in constraining new physics models.
Using e+e− collision data samples with center-of-mass energies ranging from 2.000 to 2.644 GeV, collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, and with a total integrated luminosity of 300 pb^{-1}, a partial-wave analysis is performed for the process e+e−→K+K−π0π0. The total Born cross sections for the process e+e−→K+K−π0π0, as well as the Born cross sections f or the subprocesses e+e−→ϕπ0π0, K+(1460)K−, K+1(1400)K−, K+1(1270)K− and K∗+(892)K∗−(892), are measured versus the center-of-mass energy. The corresponding results for e+e−→K+K−π0π0 and ϕπ0π0 are consistent with those of BaBar and have much improved this http URL analyzing the cross sections for the four subprocesses, K+(1460)K−, K+1(1400)K−, K+1(1270)K− and K∗+K∗−, a structure with mass M = (2126.5 ± 16.8 ± 12.4)~MeV/c^{2} and width Γ = (106.9 ± 32.1 ± 28.1)~MeV is observed with an overall statistical significance of 6.3 σ, although with very limited significance in the subprocesses e+e−→K+1(1270)K− and K∗+(892)K∗−(892). The resonant parameters of the observed structure suggest it can be identified with the ϕ(2170), thus the results provide valuable input to the internal nature of the ϕ(2170).

The process 𝑒+𝑒−→𝜙𝜂′ has been studied for the first time in detail using data sample collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at center of mass energies from 2.05 to 3.08 GeV. A resonance with quantum numbers 𝐽𝑃𝐶=1−− is observed with mass 𝑀=(2177.5±4.8(stat)±19.5(syst))MeV/𝑐2 and width Γ=(149.0±15.6(stat)±8.9(syst)) MeV with a statistical significance larger than 10𝜎, including systematic uncertainties. If the observed structure is identified with the 𝜙(2170), then the ratio of partial width between the 𝜙𝜂′ by BESIII and 𝜙𝜂 by BABAR is (ℬ𝑅𝜙𝜂Γ𝑅𝑒𝑒)/(ℬ𝑅𝜙𝜂′Γ𝑅𝑒𝑒)=0.23±0.10(stat)±0.18(syst), which is smaller than the prediction of the 𝑠¯𝑠𝑔 hybrid models by several orders of magnitude.
Using a sample of (448.1±2.9)×106 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform the first partial wave analysis of ψ(3686)→K+K−η. In addition to the well established states, ϕ(1020), ϕ(1680), and K∗3(1780), contributions from X(1750), ρ(2150), ρ3(2250), and K∗2(1980) are also observed. The X(1750) state is determined to be a 1−− resonance. The simultaneous observation of the ϕ(1680) and X(1750) indicates that the X(1750), with previous observations in photoproduction, is distinct from the ϕ(1680). The masses, widths, branching fractions of ψ(3686)→K+K−η and the intermediate resonances are also measured.
