Determination of the number of ψ(3686) events at BESIII

The numbers of ψ(3686) events accumulated by the BESIII detector for the data taken during 2009 and 2012 are determined to be $(107.0\pm 0.8)\times {10}^{6}$ and $(341.1\pm 2.1)\times {10}^{6}$, respectively, by counting inclusive hadronic events, where the uncertainties are systematic and the statistical uncertainties are negligible. The number of events for the sample taken in 2009 is consistent with that of the previous measurement. The total number of ψ(3686) events for the two data taking periods is $(448.1\pm 2.9)\times {10}^{6}$.

Study of e + e - → p p ¯ π 0 in the vicinity of the ψ ( 3770 )

The process e + e - →pp¯π 0 has been studied by analyzing data collected at √s=3.773 GeV, at s√=3.650 GeV, and during a ψ(3770) line shape scan with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross section of pp¯π 0 in the vicinity of the ψ(3770) is measured, and the Born cross section of ψ(3770)→pp¯π 0 is extracted considering interference between resonant and continuum production amplitudes. Two solutions with the same probability and a significance of 1.5σ are found. The solutions for the Born cross section of ψ(3770)→pp¯π 0 are 33.8±1.8±2.1 pb and 0.06 +0.10 -0.04 +0.01 -0.01 pb (<0.22 pb at a 90% confidence level). Using the estimated cross section and a constant decay amplitude approximation, the cross section σ(pp¯→ψ(3770)π 0 ) is calculated for the kinematic situation of the planned P¯ANDA experiment. The maximum cross section corresponding to the two solutions is expected to be less than 0.79 nb at 90% confidence level and 122±10 nb at a center-of-mass energy of 5.26 GeV.
