Light Hadron Spectroscopy and Decay at BESIII

Light hadron spectroscopy plays an important role in understanding the decay dynamics of unconventional hadronic states, such as strangeonium and glueballs. BESIII provides an ideal avenue to search for these exotic states thanks to a huge amount of data recorded at various energy points in the tau-charm mass region including J/psi resonance. This report summarizes recent results of the BESIII experiment related to the glueballs and strangeonium-like states.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, Conference proceeding of FPCP-201

Measurement of the parameters of the (3770) resonance

We present a measurement of the cross section for hadron production by e+e- annihilation in the vicinity of the previously observed resonance near 3.77 GeV. The data are used to determine the parameters of the (3770) resonance. The values found are: mass, 3764±5 MeV/c2, total width, 23.5±5 MeV, and partial width to electron pairs, 276±50 eV. © 1980 The American Physical Society

Direct photon production at the

We present results of a detailed analysis of inclusive direct photon production at the (3095). The direct-photon momentum distribution for x>0.4 is presented and compared with the leading-order quantum-chromodynamic prediction. The total production rate is found to be consistent with theoretical expectations, but the observed momentum distribution is considerably softer. Results of an analysis of some inclusive properties of the hadronic system recoiling against the direct photon are presented. The mean charged-particle and Ks multiplicities are presented as functions of the invariant mass of the hadronic system. These data agree well with the corresponding mean multiplicities measured in e+e- annihilations at center-of-mass energies comparable to the invariant mass of the hadronic system. © 1981 The American Physical Society

Measurement of ψ(3097) and ψ′(3686) decays into selected hadronic modes

Measurements of ψ(3097) and ψ′(3686) branching fractions for selected hadronic decays are presented. The ratio of ψ′ to ψ branching fractions for these decays is consistent with the ratio of branching fractions to lepton pairs, with the exception of the decays to pπ and K*K for which this ratio is substantially smaller. © 1983 The American Physical Society

Decays of the (3097) to baryon-antibaryon final states

A high-statistics study of decays into baryon final states has been done with the Mark II detector at SPEAR. A detailed test of baryon-antibaryon decay modes is presented. Substantial resonance formation is observed in multibody decays of the involving baryons. Branching ratios for a large number of decay modes are given, including the radiative decay pp. The flavor-SU(3)-forbidden decays (1385)+charge conjugate are observed with substantial branching ratios. © 1984 The American Physical Society

D-meson production in e+e- annihilation at Ec.m. between 3.8 and 6.7 GeV

The Mark II detector at SPEAR has been used to study D-meson production in e+e- annihilation at center-of-mass energies between 3.8 and 6.7 GeV. The neutral and charged D mesons are identified from their K and K decay modes. Measurements of RD and of the inclusive differential cross section s ddz are presented. The quasi-two-body cross sections DD, D*D, and D*D* are derived from an overall fit to the D recoil spectra. No evidence was found for the associated production of charmed mesons and charmed baryons. © 1982 The American Physical Society

Pion pair production in photon-photon collisions at spear

We report a measurement of the cross section for the process γγ→π+π- at invariant masses 500 MeV/c2 < mππ<2000 MeV/c2. A value for the radiative width of the f(1270) tensor meson Γf→γγ = 3.6 ± 0.3 ± 0.5 KeV (helicity λ = 2) has been obtained from a fit to the observed ππ mass spectrum. © 1981
