By analyzing 2.93 fb−1 of data taken at the ψ(3770) resonance peak with the BESIII detector, we measure the branching fractions for the hadronic decays D+→K0SK0SK+, D+→K0SK0Sπ+, D0→K0SK0S and D0→K0SK0SK0S. They are determined to be B(D+→K0SK0SK+)=(2.54±0.05stat.±0.12sys.)×10−3, B(D+→K0SK0Sπ+)=(2.70±0.05stat.±0.12sys.)×10−3, B(D0→K0SK0S)=(1.67±0.11stat.±0.11sys.)×10−4 and B(D0→K0SK0SK0S)=(7.21±0.33stat.±0.44sys.)×10−4, where the second one is measured for the first time and the others are measured with significantly improved precision over the previous measurements.

Using a data sample of 448.1×106 𝜓(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII, we perform search for the hadronic transition ℎ𝑐→𝜋+𝜋−𝐽/𝜓 via 𝜓(3686)→𝜋0ℎ𝑐. No signals of the transition are observed, and the upper limit on the product branching fraction ℬ(𝜓(3686)→𝜋0ℎ𝑐)ℬ(ℎ𝑐→𝜋+𝜋−𝐽/𝜓) at the 90% confidence level (C.L.) is determined to be 2.0×10−6. This is the most stringent upper limit to date.
Using a dataset of 6.32 fb−1 of 𝑒+𝑒− annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4178 and 4226 MeV, we have measured the absolute branching fraction of the leptonic decay 𝐷+𝑠→𝜏+𝜈𝜏 via 𝜏+→𝑒+𝜈𝑒¯𝜈𝜏, and find ℬ𝐷+𝑠→𝜏+𝜈𝜏=(5.27±0.10±0.12)×10−2, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The precision is improved by a factor of 2 compared to the previous best measurement. Combining with 𝑓𝐷+𝑠 from lattice quantum chromodynamics calculations or the |𝑉𝑐𝑠| from the CKMfitter group, we extract |𝑉𝑐𝑠|=0.978±0.009±0.012 and 𝑓𝐷+𝑠=(251.1±2.4±3.0) MeV, respectively. Combining our result with the world averages of ℬ𝐷+𝑠→𝜏+𝜈𝜏 and ℬ𝐷+𝑠→𝜇+𝜈𝜇, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions ℬ𝐷+𝑠→𝜏+𝜈𝜏/ℬ𝐷+𝑠→𝜇+𝜈𝜇=9.72±0.37, which is consistent with the standard model prediction of lepton flavor universality.
We report on a comparison of two possible Λ+c spin hypotheses, J=12 and 32, via the process e+e−→Λ+cΛ¯−c, using the angular distributions of Λ+c decays into pK0S, Λπ+, Σ0π+, and Σ+π0. The data were recorded at s√=4.6 GeV with the BESIII detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 587 pb−1. The Λ+c spin is determined to be J=12, with this value favored over the 32 hypothesis with a significance corresponding to more than 6 Gaussian standard deviations.
By analyzing the large-angle Bhabha scattering events e+e− → (γ)e+e− and diphoton events e+e− → (γ)γγ for the data sets collected at center-of-mass (c.m.) energies between 2.2324 and 4.5900 GeV (131 energy points in total) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII), the integrated luminosities have been measured at the different c.m. energies, individually. The results are important inputs for the R value and J/ψ resonance parameter measurements.
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−→Ξ0Ξ¯0 utilizing a single-tag method. A fit to the cross section of e+e−→Ξ0Ξ¯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−→Ξ−Ξ¯+ and Ξ0Ξ¯0 is calculated using recent BESIII measurement and is found to be compatible with expectation from isospin symmetry.
Based on 4.481×108 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the branching fraction of the isospin violating decay ψ(3686)→Σ¯0Λ+c.c. is measured to be (1.60±0.31±0.13 ± 0.58)×10−6, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is the uncertainty arising from interference with the continuum. This result is significantly smaller than the measurement based on CLEO-c data sets. The decays χcJ→ΛΛ¯ are measured via ψ(3686)→γχcJ, and the branching fractions are determined to be B(χc0→ΛΛ¯)=(3.64±0.10±0.10±0.07)×10−4, B(χc1→ΛΛ¯)=(1.31±0.06±0.06±0.03)×10−4, B(χc2→ΛΛ¯)=(1.91±0.08±0.17±0.04)×10−4, where the third uncertainties are systematic due to the ψ(3686)→γχcJ branching fractions.
Using the data samples collected in the energy range from 3.773 to 4.600 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we measure the dressed cross sections as a function of center-of-mass energy for 𝑒+𝑒−→𝐾+𝐾−𝜋+𝜋−(𝜋0), 𝐾+𝐾−𝐾+𝐾−(𝜋0), 𝜋+𝜋−𝜋+𝜋−(𝜋0), and 𝑝¯𝑝𝜋+𝜋−(𝜋0). The cross sections for 𝑒+𝑒−→𝐾+𝐾−𝐾+𝐾−𝜋0, 𝑝¯𝑝𝜋+𝜋−(𝜋0) are the first measurements. Cross sections for the other five channels are much more precise than previous results in this energy region. We also search for charmonium and charmonium-like resonances, such as the 𝑌(4230), decaying into the same final states. We find evidence of the 𝜓(4040) decaying to 𝜋+𝜋−𝜋+𝜋−𝜋0 with a statistical significance of 3.6𝜎. Upper limits are provided for other decays since no clear signals are observed.
Based on 14.7 fb−1 of e+e− annihilation data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at 17 different center-of-mass energies between 3.7730 GeV and 4.5995 GeV, Born cross sections of the two processes e+e−→pp¯η and e+e−→pp¯ω are measured for the first time. No indication of resonant production through a vector state V is observed, and upper limits on the Born cross sections of e+e−→V→pp¯η and e+e−→V→pp¯ω at the 90% confidence level are calculated for a large parameter space in resonance masses and widths. For the current world average parameters of the ψ(4230) of m=4.2187 GeV/c2 and Γ=44 MeV, we find upper limits on resonant production of the pp¯η and pp¯ω final states of 7.5 pb and 10.4 pb at the 90% CL, respectively.
