Observation of X(2370) and search for X(2120) in $J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma K{\bar{K}} \eta '$: BESIII Collaboration

Using a sample of 1.31 × 10 9 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a study of J/ψ → γKK¯η'. X(2370) is observed in the KK¯η' invariant-mass distribution with a statistical significance of 8.3σ. Its resonance parameters are measured to be M = 2341.6 ± 6.5(stat.) ± 5.7(syst.) MeV/c 2 and Γ = 117 ± 10(stat.) ± 8(syst.) MeV. The product branching fractions for J/ψ → γX(2370), X(2370) → K + K – η' and J/ψ → γX(2370), X(2370) → $K$ $^{0}_{S}$ $K$ $^{0}_{S}$η' are determined to be (1.79 ± 0.23(stat.) ± 0.65(syst.)) × 10 –5 and (1.18 ± 0.32(stat.) ± 0.39(syst.)) × 10 –5 , respectively. No evident signal for X(2120) is observed in the KK¯η' invariant-mass distribution. The upper limits for the product branching fractions of B(J/ψ → γX(2120) → γK + K – η') and B(J/ψ → γX(2120) → $K$ $^{0}_{S}$ $K$ $^{0}_{S}$η') are determined to be 1.49 × 10 –5 and 6.38 × 10 –6 at the 90% confidence level, respectively.

Future Physics Programme of BESIII

There has recently been a dramatic renewal of interest in hadron spectroscopy and charm physics. This renaissance has been driven in part by the discovery of a plethora of charmonium-like XYZ states at BESIII and B factories, and the observation of an intriguing proton-antiproton threshold enhancement and the possibly related X(1835) meson state at BESIII, as well as the threshold measurements of charm mesons and charm baryons. We present a detailed survey of the important topics in tau-charm physics and hadron physics that can be further explored at BESIII during the remaining operation period of BEPCII. This survey will help in the optimization of the data-taking plan over the coming years, and provides physics motivation for the possible upgrade of BEPCII to higher luminosity.
