Amplitude analysis of the decays D0 → π+π−π+π− and D0 → π+π−π0π0*

Using e+e− annihilation data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1 taken at the center-of-mass energy √s = 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, a joint amplitude analysis is performed on the decays D0 → π+π−π+π− and D0 → π+π−π0π0 (non-η). The fit fractions of individual components are obtained, and large interferences among the dominant components of the decays D0 → a1(1260)π, D0 → π(1300)π, D0 → ρ(770)ρ(770), and D0 → 2(ππ)S are observed in both channels. With the obtained amplitude model, the CP-even fractions of D0 → π+π−π+π− and D0 → π+π−π0π0 (non-η) are determined to be (75.2 ± 1.1stat. ± 1.5syst.) % and (68.9 ± 1.5stat. ± 2.4syst.)%, respectively. The branching fractions of D0 → π+π−π+π− and D0 → π+π−π0π0 (non-η) are measured to be (0.688 ± 0.010stat. ± 0.010syst.)% and (0.951 ± 0.025stat. ± 0.021syst.)%, respectively. The amplitude analysis provides an important model for the binning strategy in measuring the strong phase parameters of D0 → 4π when used to determine the CKM angle γ(φ3) via the B− → DK− decay

Measurement of integrated luminosity of data collected at 3.773 GeV by BESIII from 2021 to 2024

We present a measurement of the integrated luminosity e+e- of collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at a center-of-mass energy of Ecm = 3.773 GeV. The integrated luminosities of the datasets taken from December 2021 to June 2022, from November 2022 to June 2023, and from October 2023 to February 2024 were determined to be 4.995±0.019 fb-1, 8.157±0.031 fb-1, and 4.191±0.016 fb-1, respectively, by analyzing large angle Bhabha scattering events. The uncertainties are dominated by systematic effects, and the statistical uncertainties are negligible. Our results provide essential input for future analyses and precision measurements

Prediction of Energy Resolution in the JUNO Experiment

International audienceThis paper presents the energy resolution study in the JUNO experiment, incorporating the latest knowledge acquired during the detector construction phase. The determination of neutrino mass ordering in JUNO requires an exceptional energy resolution better than 3% at 1 MeV. To achieve this ambitious goal, significant efforts have been undertaken in the design and production of the key components of the JUNO detector. Various factors affecting the detection of inverse beta decay signals have an impact on the energy resolution, extending beyond the statistical fluctuations of the detected number of photons, such as the properties of liquid scintillator, performance of photomultiplier tubes, and the energy reconstruction algorithm. To account for these effects, a full JUNO simulation and reconstruction approach is employed. This enables the modeling of all relevant effects and the evaluation of associated inputs to accurately estimate the energy resolution. The study reveals an energy resolution of 2.95% at 1 MeV. Furthermore, the study assesses the contribution of major effects to the overall energy resolution budget. This analysis serves as a reference for interpreting future measurements of energy resolution during JUNO data taking. Moreover, it provides a guideline in comprehending the energy resolution characteristics of liquid scintillator-based detectors

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

The number of ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector during the 2021 run period is determined to be (2259.3±11.1)×106 by counting inclusive ψ(3686) hadronic events. The uncertainty is systematic and the statistical uncertainty is negligible. Meanwhile, the numbers of ψ(3686) events collected during the 2009 and 2012 run periods are updated to be (107.7±0.6)×106 and (345.4±2.6)×106, respectively. Both numbers are consistent with the previous measurements within one standard deviation. The total number of ψ(3686) events in the three data samples is (2712.4±14.3)×10^
