By using 6.32 fbâ1 of data collected with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV, we perform an amplitude analysis of the decay D+s ! K0S +â0 and determine the relative fractions and phase differences of different intermediate processes, which include K0S (770)+, K0S (1450)+, Kâ(892)0â+, Kâ(892)+â0, and Kâ(1410)0â+. With the detection efficiency based on the amplitude analysis results, the absolute branching fraction is measured to be B(D+s ! K0S +â0) = (5.43 ± 0.30stat ± 0.15syst) Ă 10â3.
We report a measurement of the observed cross sections of e+ eâ â J/ÏX based on 3.21 fb â 1 of data accumulated at energies from 3.645 to 3.891 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider. In analysis of the cross sections, we measured the decay branching fractions of B(Ï(3686) â J/ÏX) = (64.4 ± 0.6 ± 1.6)% and B(Ï(3770) â J/ÏX) = (0.5 ± 0.2 ± 0.1)% for the first time. The energy-dependent line shape of these cross sections cannot be well described by two Breit-Wigner (BW) amplitudes of the expected decays Ï (3686) â J/ÏX and Ï(3770) â J/ÏX. Instead, it can be better described with one more BW amplitude of the decay R(3760)â J/ÏX. Under this assumption, we extracted the R (3760) mass M R (3760 ) = 3766.2 ± 3.8 ± 0.4 MeV/c2, total width Î tot R ( 3760 ) = 22.2 ± 5.9 ± 1.4 MeV, and product of leptonic width and decay branching fraction
ÎeeR(3760) B[R(3760) â J/ÏX] = (79.4 ± 85.5 ± 11.7) eV. The significance of the R(3760) is 5.3Ï. The first uncertainties of these measured quantities are from fits to the cross sections and second systematic.
Using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at center-of-mass energies from 4.178 to 4.600 GeV, we study the process eĂŸeâ â Ï0Xð3872ĂÎł and search for Zcð4020Ă0 â Xð3872ĂÎł. We find no significant signal and set upper limits on ÏðeĂŸeâ â Ï0Xð3872Ăγà · BðXð3872Ă â ÏĂŸÏâJ=ÏĂ and ÏðeĂŸeâ â Ï0Zcð4020Ă0à · BðZcð4020Ă0 â Xð3872Ăγà · BðXð3872Ă â ÏĂŸÏâJ=ÏĂ for each energy point at 90% confidence level, which is of the order of several tenths pb.
By analyzing 6.32 fb â 1 of e+ eâ 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 â Ï + ΜÏ, with Ï+ â Ï + Ï0ÂŻÎœÏ, to be B D + s â Ï + Μ Ï = (5.29 ± 0.25 stat ± 0.20 syst) %. We estimate the product of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element |Vcs|and the D + s decay constant f D + s to be f D + s|Vcs| = (244.8 ± 5.8 stat ± 4.8syst) MeV, using the known values of the Ï + and D + s masses as well as the D + s lifetime, together with our branching fraction measurement. Combining the value of |Vcs| obtained from a global fit in the standard model and f D + s from lattice quantum chromodynamics, we obtain f D + s = (251.6 ± 5.9 stat ± 4.9syst) MeV and |Vcs| = 0.980 ± 0.023 stat ± 0.019 syst. Using the branching fraction of B D + s â ÎŒ + ΜΌ = (5.35±0.21)Ă10â3, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions B D + s â Ï + ΜÏ/B D +s â ÎŒ+ΜΌ = 9.89±0.71, which is consistent with the standard model prediction of lepton flavor universality.
We measure the inclusive semielectronic decay branching fraction of the D+s meson. A double-tag technique is applied to e+eâ annihilation data collected by the BESIII experiment at the BEPCII collider, operating in the center-of-mass energy range 4.178â4.230 GeV. We select positrons fromD+sâXe+Μe with momenta greater than 200 MeV/c and determine the laboratory momentum spectrum, accounting for the effects of detector efficiency and resolution. The total positron yield and semielectronic branching fraction are determined by extrapolating this spectrum below the momentum cutoff. We measure the D+s semielectronic branching fraction to be(6.30±0.13(stat.)±0.09(syst.)±0.04(ext.))%, showing no evidence for unobserved exclusive semielectronic modes. We combine this result with external data taken from literature to determine the ratio of the D+s and D0 semielectronic widths, Î(D+sâXe+Μe)Î(D0âXe+Μe)=0.790±0.016(stat.)±0.011(syst.)±0.016(ext.). Our results are consistent with and more precise than previous measurements.
The electromagnetic process is studied with the initial-state-radiation technique using 7.5 fbâ1 of data collected by the BESIII experiment at seven energy points from 3.773 to 4.600 GeV. The Born cross section and the effective form factor of the proton are measured from the production threshold to 3.0 GeV/ using the invariant-mass spectrum. The ratio of electric and magnetic form factors of the proton is determined from the analysis of the proton-helicity angular distribution.
