Measurement of branching fractions of $J/\psi$ and $\psi$(3686) decays to $\Sigma^+$< and $\overline\Sigma^-$

Using 1310.6 x 10 6 J/ψ and 448.1 x 10 6 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, the branching fractions of J/ψ decays to $Σ^+\overline{Σ}^-$ is measured to be (10.61 ± 0.04 ± 0.36) x 10 -4 , which is significantly more precise than the current world average. The branching fractions of ψ(3686) decays to $Σ^+\overline{Σ}^-$ is measured to be (2.52 ± 0.04 ± 0.09) x 10 -4 , which is consistent with the previous measurements. In addition, the ratio of $\mathcal{B}$(ψ(3686) → $Σ^+\overline{Σ}^-$)/$\mathcal{B}$(J/ψ → $Σ^+\overline{Σ}^-$) is determined to be (23.8 ± 1.1)% which violates the “12% rule”.

Observation of the decays $χ$ cJ → $\mathrm{nK}^0_s\overline{Λ}$ + $c.c.$

By analyzing 4.48 x 10 8 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector, we observe the decays $χ$ cJ → $\mathrm{nK}^0_s\overline{Λ}$ + $c.c.$ (J = 0, 1, 2) for the first time, via the radiative transition ψ(3686) → $γχ_{cJ}$. The branching fractions are determined to be (6.65 ± 0.26 stat ± 0.41 syst ) x 10 -4 , (1.66 ± 0.12 stat ± 0.12 syst ) x 10 -4 , and (3.58 ± 0.16 stat ± 0.23 syst ) x 10 -4 for J = 0, 1, and 2, respectively.

Study of the decay D s + → π + π + π - η and observation of the W -annihilation decay D s + → a 0 ( 980 ) + ρ 0

The decay $D^+_s$ → $π^+π^+π^-η$ is observed for the first time, using e + e - collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.32 fb -1 collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 4.178 and 4.226 GeV. The absolute branching fraction for this decay is measured to be $\mathscr{B}$($D^+_s$ → $π^+π^+π^-η$) = (3.12 ± 0.13 stat ± 0.90 syst )%. The first amplitude analysis of this decay reveals the substructures in $D^+_s$ → $π^+π^+π^-η$ nd determines the relative fractions and the phases among these substructures. The dominant intermediate process is $D^+_s$ → $a_1$(1260) + $η,a_1$(1260) + → ρ(770) 0 $π^+$ with a branching fraction of (1.73 ± 0.14 stat ±0.08 syst )%. We also observe the W-annihilation process $D^+_s$ → $a_0$(980) + ρ(770) 0 , $a_0$(980) + → $π^+η$ with a branching fraction of (0.21 ± 0.08 stat ± 0.05 syst )%, which is larger than the branching fractions of other measured pure W-annihilation decays by 1 order of magnitude.

Observation of e + e - → ηψ(2S) at center-of-mass energies from 4.236 to 4.600 GeV

Using a total of 5 25 fb -1 of e + e - collision data with center-of-mass energies from 4.236 to 4.600 GeV, we report the first observation of the processe + e - → ηψ(2S) with a statistical significance of 4.9 standard deviations. The data sets were collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. We measure the yield of events integrated over center-of-mass energies and also present the energy dependence of the measured cross section.
