Determination of the Spin and Parity of the Z c ( 3900 )

In this paper, the spin and parity of the Z c (3900) ± state are determined to be J P = 1 + with a statistical significance larger than 7σ over other quantum numbers in a partial wave analysis of the process e + e - → π + π - J/Ψ. We use a data sample of 1.92 fb -1 accumulated at $ \sqrt{s}=4.23 $ and 4.26 GeV with the BESIII experiment. When parametrizing the Z c (3900) ± with a Flatté-like formula, we determine its pole mass M pole = (3881.2±4.2 stat ±52.7 syst ) MeV/c 2 and pole width Γ pole = (51.8± 4.6 stat ± 36.0 syst ) MeV. Finally, we also measure cross sections for the process e + e - → Z c (3900) + π - + c.c. → J/Ψπ + π - and determine an upper limit at the 90% confidence level for the process e + e - → Z c (4020) + π - + c.c. → J/Ψ π + π - .

Branching fraction measurements of ψ ( 3686 ) → γ χ c J

In this paper, using a sample of 106 million ψ(3686) decays, the branching fractions of ψ(3686) → γχ c0 , ψ(3686) → γχ c1 , and ψ(3686) → γχ c2 are measured with improved precision to be (9.389±0.014±0.332) %, (9.905±0.011±0.353) %, and (9.621±0.013±0.272) %, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. Finally, the product branching fractions of ψ(3686) → γχ c1 , χ c1 → γJ/ψ and ψ(3686) → γχ c2 , χ c2 → γJ/ψ and the branching fractions of χ c1 → γJ/ψ and χ c2 → γJ/ψ are also presented.

Analysis of $D$ + → $K¯$ 0 $e$ + $ν$ $e$ and $D$ + → $π$ 0 $e$ + $ν$ $e$ semileptonic decays

Using 2.93 fb –1 of data taken at 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we study the semileptonic decays D + → K¯ 0 e + ν e and D + → π 0 e + ν e . Here, we measure the absolute decay branching fractions B(D + → K¯ 0 e + ν e ) = (8.60 ± 0.06 ± 0.15) × 10 –2 and B(D + → π 0 e + ν e ) = (3.63 ± 0.08 ± 0.05) × 10 –3 , where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic. We also measure the differential decay rates and study the form factors of these two decays. With the values of |V cs | and |V cd | from Particle Data Group fits assuming CKM unitarity, we obtain the values of the form factors at q 2 = 0, $f$ $^{K}_{+}$(0) = 0.725 ± 0.004 ± 0.012 and $f$ $^{π}_{+}$(0) = 0.622 ± 0.012 ± 0.003. Taking input from recent lattice QCD calculations of these form factors, we determine values of the CKM matrix elements |V cs | = 0.944 ± 0.005 ± 0.015 ± 0.024 and |V cd | = 0.210 ± 0.004 ± 0.001 ± 0.009, where the third uncertainties are theoretical.

Measurement of integrated luminosity and center-of-mass energy of data taken by BESIII at √s = 2.125 GeV*

To study the nature of the state Y (2175), a dedicated data set of e + e – collision data was collected at the center-of-mass energy of 2.125 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. By analyzing large-angle Bhabha scattering events, the integrated luminosity of this data set is determined to be 108.49±0.02±0.85 pb –1 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic. In addition, the center-of-mass energy of the data set is determined with radiative dimuon events to be 2126.55±0.03±0.85 MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one is systematic.

Measurement of higher-order multipole amplitudes in ψ ( 3686 ) → γ χ c 1 , 2 with χ c 1 , 2 → γ J / ψ and search for the transition η c ( 2 S ) → γ J / ψ

Using 106 ×10 6 ψ (3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we measure multipole amplitudes for the decay ψ (3686) → γχ c1,2 → γγ J/ψ beyond the dominant electric-dipole amplitudes. The normalized magnetic-quadrupole (M2) amplitude for ψ (3686) → γχ c1,2 → γγ J/ψ and the normalized electric-octupole amplitudes for ψ ( 3686 ) → γχ c2 , χ c2 → γJ/ψ are determined. The M2 amplitudes for ψ (3686) → γ χ c1 and χ c1,2 → γ J / ψ are found to differ significantly from zero and are consistent with theoretical predictions. We also obtain the ratios of M2 contributions of ψ ( 3686 ) and J /ψ decays to χ c1,2 , b$1\atop{2}$/ b$2\atop{2}$ = 1.35 ± 0.72 and a$1\atop{2}$/a$2\atop{2}$ = 0.617 ± 0.083 , which agree well with theoretical expectations. By considering the multipole contributions of χ c 1 , 2 , we measure the product branching fractions for the cascade decays ψ ( 3686 ) → γχ c0,1,2 → γγJ/ψ and search for the process η c (2S) → γJ/ψ through ψ ( 3686 ) → γη c (2S). The product branching fraction for ψ (3686) → γχ c0 → γγJ/ψ is 3σ larger than published measurements, while those of ψ (3686) → γχ c1,2 → γγJ/ψ are consistent. In conclusion, no significant signal for the decay ψ ( 3686 ) → γη c (2S) → γγJ/ψ is observed, and the upper limit of the product branching fraction at the 90% confidence level is determined.

Precise Measurement of the e + e - → π + π - J / ψ Cross Section at Center-of-Mass Energies from 3.77 to 4.60 GeV

The statistical significance of this resonance is estimated to be larger than 7.6 σ . The mass and width of the second resonance agree with the Y(4360) resonance reported by the BABAR and Belle experiments within errors. Finally, the Y ( 4008 ) resonance previously observed by the Belle experiment is not confirmed in the description of the BESIII data.
