Study of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays Ds+→K+K+π−D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^- and Ds+→K+K+π−π0D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-\pi^0

Based on 7.33 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.128 and 4.226 GeV with the BESIII detector, the experimental studies of the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-$ and $D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-\pi^0$ are reported. We determine the absolute branching fraction of $D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-$ to be (${1.23^{+0.28}_{-0.25}}({\rm stat})\pm0.06({\rm syst})$) $\times 10^{-4}$. No significant signal of $D^+_s\to K^+K^+\pi^-\pi^0$ is observed and the upper limit on its decay branching fraction at 90\% confidence level is set to be $1.7\times10^{-4}$.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 4 table

Partial Wave Analysis of J/ψ→γγϕJ/\psi\rightarrow \gamma \gamma \phi

Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis on the decay $\gamma\gamma\phi$ is performed to investigate the intermediate resonances in $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma X, X\rightarrow\gamma\phi$. The resonances $f_{1}(1285)$, $\eta(1405)$, $f_{1}(1420)$, $f_{1}(1510)$, $f_{2}(1525)$, $X(1835)$, $f_{2}(1950)$, $f_{2}(2010)$, $f_{0}(2200)$ and $\eta_{c}$ are observed with statistical significance greater than 5$\sigma$. The product branching fractions $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma X, X\rightarrow \gamma \phi)$ are reported. The resonance parameters of $\eta(1405)$ and $X(1835)$ are also measured

Updated measurements of the M1 transition ψ(3686)→γηc(2S)\psi(3686) \to \gamma \eta_{c}(2S) with ηc(2S)→KKˉπ\eta_{c}(2S) \to K \bar{K} \pi

Based on a data sample of $(27.08 \pm 0.14 ) \times 10^8~\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the M1 transition $\psi(3686) \to \gamma \eta_{c}(2S)$ with $\eta_{c}(2S) \to K\bar{K}\pi$ is studied, where $K\bar{K}\pi$ is $K^{+} K^{-} \pi^{0}$ or $K_{S}^{0}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$. The mass and width of the $\eta_{c}(2S)$ are measured to be $(3637.8 \pm 0.8 (\rm {stat}) \pm 0.2 (\rm {syst}))$ MeV/$c^{2}$ and $(10.5 \pm 1.7 (\rm {stat}) \pm 3.5 (\rm {syst}))$ MeV, respectively. The product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}\left(\psi(3686) \rightarrow \gamma \eta_{c}(2 S)\right) \times \mathcal{B}(\eta_{c}(2 S) \rightarrow K \bar{K} \pi)$ is determined to be $(0.97 \pm 0.06 (\rm {stat}) \pm 0.09 (\rm {syst})) \times 10^{-5}$. Using $\mathcal{BR}(\eta_{c}(2S)\to K\bar{K}\pi)=(1.86^{+0.68}_{-0.49})\%$, we obtain the branching fraction of the radiative transition to be $\mathcal{BR}(\psi(3686) \to \gamma \eta_{c}(2S)) = (5.2 \pm 0.3 (\rm {stat}) \pm 0.5 (\rm {syst}) ^{+1.9}_{-1.4} (extr)) \times 10^{-4}$, where the third uncertainty is due to the quoted $\mathcal{BR}(\eta_{c}(2S) \to K\bar{K}\pi)$

Search for an invisible muon philic scalar X0X_{0} or vector X1X_{1} via J/ψ→μ+μ−+invisibleJ/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-+\rm{invisible} decay at BESIII

A light scalar $X_{0}$ or vector $X_{1}$ particles have been introduced as a possible explanation for the $(g-2)_{\mu}$ anomaly and dark matter phenomena. Using $(8.998\pm 0.039)\times10^9$ \jpsi events collected by the BESIII detector, we search for a light muon philic scalar $X_{0}$ or vector $X_{1}$ in the processes $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^- X_{0,1}$ with $X_{0,1}$ invisible decays. No obvious signal is found, and the upper limits on the coupling $g_{0,1}'$ between the muon and the $X_{0,1}$ particles are set to be between $1.1\times10^{-3}$ and $1.0\times10^{-2}$ for the $X_{0,1}$ mass in the range of $1<M(X_{0,1})<1000$~MeV$/c^2$ at 90$\%$ confidence level.Comment: 9 pages 7 figure

First Observation of a Three-Resonance Structure in e+e−→e^+e^-\rightarrow{non-open} Charm Hadrons

We report the measurement of the cross sections for $e^+e^-$$\rightarrow${nOCH} (nOCH stands for non-open charm hadrons) with improved precision at center-of-mass energies from 3.645 to 3.871 GeV. We observe for the first time a three-resonance structure in the energy-dependent lineshape of the cross sections, which are $\mathcal R(3760)$, $\mathcal R(3780)$ and $\mathcal R(3810)$ with significances of $9.4\sigma$, $15.7\sigma$, and $9.8\sigma$, respectively. The $\mathcal R(3810)$ is observed for the first time. We found two solutions in analysis of the cross sections. For solution I [solution II], we measure the mass, the total width and the product of electronic width and nOCH decay branching fraction to be $(3805.8 \pm 1.1 \pm 2.7)$ [$(3805.8 \pm 1.1 \pm 2.7)$] MeV/$c^2$, $(11.6 \pm 2.6 \pm 1.9)$ [$(11.5 \pm 2.5 \pm 1.8)$] MeV, and $(10.8\pm 3.2\pm 2.3)$ [$(11.0\pm 2.9\pm 2.4)$] eV for the $\mathcal R(3810)$, respectively. In addition, we measure the branching fractions ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal R}(3760)$$\rightarrow${nOCH}$)=(24.5 \pm 13.4 \pm 27.4)\% [(6.8 \pm 5.4 \pm 7.6)\%]$ for the first time, and ${\mathcal B}(\mathcal R(3780)$$\rightarrow${nOCH}$)=(11.6 \pm 5.8 \pm 7.8)\% [(10.3 \pm 4.5 \pm 6.9)\%]$. Moreover, we determine the open-charm (OC) branching fraction ${\mathcal B}({\mathcal R}$$(3760)\rightarrow${OC}$)=(75.5 \pm 13.4 \pm 27.4)\% [(93.2 \pm 5.4 \pm 7.6)\%]$, which supports the interpretation of $\mathcal R(3760)$ as an OC pair molecular state, but contained a simple four-quark state component. The first uncertainties are from fits to the cross sections, and the second are systematic

Measurement of the e+e−→KS0KL0π0e^{+}e^{-} \to K_{S}^{0} K_{L}^{0} \pi^{0} cross sections from s=\sqrt{s}= 2.000 to 3.080 GeV

Based on $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data collected at center-of-mass energies from 2.000 to 3.080 GeV by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis is performed for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to K_{S}^{0} K_{L}^{0} \pi^{0}$. The results allow the Born cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to K_{S}^{0} K_{L}^{0} \pi^{0}$, as well as its subprocesses $e^{+}e^{-}\to K^{*}(892)^{0}\bar{K}$ and $K^{*}_{2}(1430)^{0}\bar{K}$ to be measured. The Born cross sections for $e^{+}e^{-}\to K_{S}^{0} K_{L}^{0}\pi^{0}$ are consistent with previous measurements by BaBar and SND, but with substantially improved precision. The Born cross section lineshape of the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to K^{*}(892)^{0}\bar{K}$ is consistent with a vector meson state around 2.2 GeV with a statistical significance of 3.2$\sigma$. A Breit-Wigner fit determines its mass as $M_Y=(2164.1\pm9.6\pm3.1)~{\rm{MeV}}/c^{2}$ and its width as $\Gamma_{Y}=(32.4\pm21.1\pm1.5)~\rm{MeV}$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic, respectively

Study of e+e−→π+π−π0e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0} at s\sqrt{s} from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV at BESIII

With the data samples taken at center-of-mass energies from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, a partial wave analysis on the $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ process is performed. The Born cross sections for $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ and its intermediate processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\rho\pi$ and $\rho(1450)\pi$ are measured as functions of $\sqrt{s}$. The results for $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$ are consistent with previous results measured with the initial state radiation method within one standard deviation, and improve the uncertainty by a factor of ten. By fitting the line shapes of the Born cross sections for the $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow\rho\pi$ and $\rho(1450)\pi$, a structure with mass $M = 2119\pm11\pm15\ {\rm MeV}/c^2$ and width $\Gamma=69\pm30\pm5 {\rm MeV}$ is observed with a significance of $5.9\sigma$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. This structure can be intepreteted as an excited $\omega$ state

A New Look at the Scalar Meson f0(500)f_0(500) via D+→π+π−ℓ+νℓD^+\to \pi^+\pi^-\ell^+\nu_\ell Decays

Using $2.93~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV, we investigate the semileptonic decays $D^+\to \pi^+\pi^- \ell^+\nu_\ell$ ($\ell=e$ and $\mu$). The $D^+\to f_0(500)\mu^+\nu_\mu$ decay is observed for the first time. By analyzing simultaneously the differential decay rates of $D^+\to f_0(500) \mu^+\nu_\mu$ and $D^+\to f_0(500) e^+\nu_e$ in different $\ell^+\nu_\ell$ four-momentum transfer intervals, the product of the relevant hadronic form factor $f^{f_0}_{+}(0)$ and the magnitude of the $c\to d$ Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cd}|$ is determined to be $f_{+}^{f_0} (0)|V_{cd}|=0.0787\pm0.0060_{\rm stat}\pm0.0033_{\rm syst}$ for the first time. With the input of $|V_{cd}|$ from the global fit in the standard model, we determine $f_{+}^{f_0} (0)=0.350\pm0.027_{\rm stat}\pm0.015_{\rm syst}$. The absolute branching fractions of $D^+\to f_0(500)_{(\pi^+\pi^-)}\mu^+\nu_\mu$ and $D^+\to \rho^0_{(\pi^+\pi^-)} \mu^+\nu_\mu$ are determined as $(0.72\pm0.13_{\rm stat}\pm0.10_{\rm syst})\times10^{-3}$ and $(1.64\pm0.13_{\rm stat}\pm0.11_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-3}$. Combining these results with those of previous BESIII measurements on their semielectronic counterparts from the same data sample, we test lepton flavor universality by measuring the branching fraction ratios ${\mathcal B}_{D^+\to \rho^0 \mu^+\nu_\mu}/{\mathcal B}_{D^+\to \rho^0 e^+\nu_e}=0.88\pm0.10$ and ${\mathcal B}_{D^+\to f_0(500) \mu^+\nu_\mu}/{\mathcal B}_{D^+\to f_0(500) e^+\nu_e}=1.14\pm0.28$, which are compatible with the standard model expectation.Comment: Supplemental Materials added in this versio

First measurements of the absolute branching fraction of Λc(2625)+→Λc+π+π−\Lambda_{c}(2625)^{+}\to \Lambda^{+}_{c}\pi^+\pi^- and upper limit on Λc(2595)+→Λc+π+π−\Lambda_{c}(2595)^{+}\to \Lambda^{+}_{c}\pi^+\pi^-

The absolute branching fraction of the decay $\Lambda_{c}(2625)^{+}\to \Lambda^{+}_{c}\pi^+\pi^-$ is measured for the first time to be $(50.7 \pm 5.0_{\rm{stat.}} \pm 4.9_{\rm{syst.}} )\%$ with 368.48 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector at the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s} = 4.918$ and $4.950$ GeV. This result is lower than the naive prediction of 67\%, obtained from isospin symmetry, by more than $2\sigma$, thereby indicating that the novel mechanism referred to as the \textit{threshold effect}, proposed for the strong decays of $\Lambda_{c}(2595)^{+}$, also applies to $\Lambda_{c}(2625)^{+}$. This measurement is necessary to obtain the coupling constants for the transitions between $s$-wave and $p$-wave charmed baryons in heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. In addition, we search for the decay $\Lambda_{c}(2595)^{+}\to \Lambda^{+}_{c}\pi^+\pi^-$. No significant signal is observed, and the upper limit on its branching fraction is determined to be 80.8\% at the 90\% confidence level.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figure

Observation of the Singly Cabibbo-Suppressed Decay Λc+→Σ−K+π+\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{-}K^{+}\pi^{+}

The singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{-}K^{+}\pi^{+}$ is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of $6.4\sigma$ by using 4.5 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected at center-of-mass energies between 4.600 and 4.699 GeV with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. The absolute branching fraction of $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{-}K^{+}\pi^{+}$ is measured to be $(3.8\pm1.3_{\rm stat}\pm0.2_{\rm syst})\times 10^{-4}$ in a model-independent approach. This is the first observation of a Cabibbo-suppressed $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ decay involving $\Sigma^-$ in the final state. The ratio of branching fractions between $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^{-}K^{+}\pi^{+}$ and the Cabibbo-favored decay $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to \Sigma^- \pi^+\pi^+$ is calculated to be $(0.4 \pm 0.1)s_{c}^{2}$, where $s_{c} \equiv \sin\theta_c = 0.2248$ with $\theta_c$ the Cabibbo mixing angle. This ratio significantly deviates from $1.0s_{c}^{2}$ and provides important information for the understanding of nonfactorization contributions in $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ decays.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
