    Using a sample of ð27.12 0.14Þ × 108 ψð3686Þ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decay ψð3686Þ → ΛΛ¯ η0 with η0 subsequently decaying into γπþπ− and ηπþπ− is observed for the first time. The branching fraction of ψð3686Þ → ΛΛ¯ η0 is measured to be ð7.34 0.94ðstatÞ 0.43ðsysÞÞ × 10−6. No resonant structures are evident in the Λη0, Λ¯ η0 and ΛΛ¯ mass spectra

    Measurement of the e(+)e(-) -> pi(+) pi(-) cross section between 600 and 900 MeV using initial state radiation

    We extract the e(+) e(-) -> pi(+) pi(-) cross section in the energy range between 600 and 900 MeV, exploiting the method of initial state radiation. A data set with an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb(-1) taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider is used. The cross section is measured with a systematic uncertainty of 0.9%. We extract the pion form factor vertical bar F pi vertical bar(2) as well as the contribution of the measured cross section to the leading-order hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to (g - 2)(mu). We find this value to be a(mu)(pi pi,LO) (600-900 MeV) = (368.2 +/- 2.5(stat)+/- 3.3(sys)).10(-10), which is between the corresponding values using the BaBar or KLOE data. (C) 2015 The Authors.

    Observation of the Psi(1(3)D(2)) State in e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-)gamma chi(c1) at BESIII

    We report the observation of the X(3823) state in the process e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-) X(3823) pi(+)pi(-)gamma chi(c1) with a statistical significance of 6.2 sigma, in data samples at center-of-mass energies root s = 4.230, 4.260, 4.360, 4.420, and 4.600 GeV collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII electron positron collider. The measured mass of the X(3823) state is (3821.7 +/- 1.3 +/- 0.7) MeV/c(2), where the first error is statistical and the second systematic, and the width is less than 16 MeV at the 90% confidence level. The products of the Born cross sections for e(+)e(-) -> pi(+)pi(-) X(3823) and the branching ratio B [X(3823) -> gamma X-c1c2] are also measured. These measurements are in good agreement with the assignment of the X(3823) state as the Psi(1(3)D(2)) charmonium state
