The Use of Storage Rings in the Study of Reactions at Low-momentum Transfers

A few aspects of the nucleus manifest themselves in direct reactions where the transferred momentum to the nucleus is very small. In the study of radioactive isotopes, one has to use inverse kinematics in which the radioactive ion impinges on a stable target. When the momentum transfer is low, one has to do these reactions with either an active target or in a storage-ring environment. In this contribution, the latter method will be discussed in some detail as the active targets are discussed in other contributions. The pilot studies performed by the EXL Collaboration in 2012 lead to the first ever measurements of reactions employing radioactive isotopes in the ring. In this contribution, the first results will be presented. The outlook will indicate in which directions the future of this field will be headed.</p

A new Time-of-flight detector for the R ³ B setup

We present the design, prototype developments and test results of the new time-of-flight detector (ToFD) which is part of the R3B experimental setup at GSI and FAIR, Darmstadt, Germany. The ToFD detector is able to detect heavy-ion residues of all charges at relativistic energies with a relative energy precision σΔE/ ΔE of up to 1% and a time precision of up to 14 ps (sigma). Together with an elaborate particle-tracking system, the full identification of relativistic ions from hydrogen up to uranium in mass and nuclear charge is possible.</p

Measurement of the branching fraction of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λc+ → Λk+

We report a branching fraction measurement of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Λc+→ΛK+ using a data sample collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The data span center-of-mass energies from 4.599 to 4.950 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 6.44 fb-1. The branching fraction of Λc+→ΛK+ relative to that of the Cabibbo-favored decay Λc+→Λπ+ is measured to be R=B(Λc+→ΛK+)B(Λc+→Λπ+)=(4.78±0.34±0.20)%. Combining with the world-average value of B(Λc+→Λπ+), we obtain B(Λc+→ΛK+)=(6.21±0.44±0.26±0.34)×10-4. Here the first uncertainties are statistical, the second systematic, and the third comes from the uncertainty of the Λc+→Λπ+ branching fraction. This result, which is more precise than previous measurements, does not agree with theoretical predictions, and suggests that nonfactorizable contributions have been underestimated in current models

Study ofηð1475ÞandXð1835Þin radiativeJ/ψdecays toγφ

The decay J/psi -> gamma gamma phi is studied using a sample of 1.31 x 10(9) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector. Two structures around 1475 MeV/c(2) and 1835 MeV/c(2) are observed in the gamma phi invariant mass spectrum for the first time. With a fit on the gamma phi invariant mass, which takes into account the interference between the two structures, and a simple analysis of the angular distribution, the structure around 1475 MeV/c(2) is found to favor an assignment as the eta(1475) and the mass and width for the structure around 1835 MeV/c(2) are consistent with the X(1835). The statistical significances of the two structures are 13.5 sigma and 6.3 sigma, respectively. The results indicate that both eta(1475) and X(1835) contain a sizeable s (s) over bar component

Our data sample consists of an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb−1 of e+e− annihilation data produced by the BEPCII collider and collected and analyzed with the BESIII detector. We exclusively reconstruct three D0 and six D+ hadronic decay modes and use the ratio of the yield of fully reconstructed Dbar D events ("double tags") to the yield of all reconstructed D or bar D mesons ("single tags") to determine the number of D0bar D0 and D+D− events, benefiting from the cancellation of many systematic uncertainties. Combining these yields with an independent determination of the integrated luminosity of the data sample, we find the cross sections to be σ(e+e− → D0bar D0) nb and σ(e+e− → D+D−) = (2.830 ± 0.011 ± 0.026) nb, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively.

Measurement of the matrix elements for the decays eta' -&gt; eta pi(+) pi(-) and eta' -&gt; eta pi(0)pi(0)

Based on a sample of 1.31 x 10(9) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector, the matrix elements for the decays eta' -> eta pi(+) pi(-) and eta' -> eta pi(0)pi(0) are determined using 351,016 eta' -> (eta -> gamma gamma)pi' pi(-) and 56,249 eta' -> (eta -> gamma gamma)pi(0) pi(0) events with background levels less than 1%. Two commonly used representations are used to describe the Dalitz plot density. We find that an assumption of a linear amplitude does not describe the data well. A small deviation of the obtained matrix elements between eta' -> eta pi(+) pi(-) and eta' -> eta pi(0)pi(0) is probably caused by the mass difference between charged and neutral pions or radiative corrections. No cusp structure in eta' -> eta pi(0)pi(0) is observed

Search for invisible decays of ω and ϕ with J/ψ data at BESIII

Using a data sample of (1310.6±7.0)×106  J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, we perform the first experimental search for invisible decays of a light vector meson (V=ω, ϕ) via J/ψ→Vη decays. The decay of η→π+π−π0 is utilized to tag the V meson decaying into the invisible final state. No evidence for a significant invisible signal is observed, and the upper limits on the ratio of branching fractions at the 90% confidence level are determined to be B(ω→invisible)B(ω→π+π−π0)<8.1×10−5 and B(ϕ→invisible)B(ϕ→K+K−)<3.4×10−4. By using the world average values of B(ω→π+π−π0) and B(ϕ→K+K−), the upper limits on the decay branching fractions at the 90% confidence level are set as B(ω→invisible)<7.3×10−5 and B(ϕ→invisible)<1.7×10−4, respectively

Study of ψ (3686) → Λ Λ ¯ ω

Based on a data sample of (448.1±2.9)×106 ψ(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fraction of ψ(3686)→ΛΛ¯ω is measured to be (3.30±0.34(stat)±0.29(syst))×10-5 for the first time. In addition, the Λω (or Λ¯ω) invariant mass spectra is studied and the potential presence of excited Λ states has been investigated

Measurement of the Branching Fraction For the Semileptonic Decay D0(+) -&gt; pi(-(0))mu(+)nu(mu )and Test of Lepton Flavor Universality

Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb(-1) taken at a center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII collider, we perform an analysis of the semileptonic decays D0(+) -> pi(-(0))mu(+)nu(mu ). The branching fractions of D-0 -> pi(-)mu(+)nu(mu), and D+ -> pi(0)mu(+)nu(mu ) are measured to be (0.272 +/- 0.008(start) +/- 0.006(syst))% and (0.350 +/- 0.011(star) +/- 0.010(syst))%, respectively, where the former is of much improved precision compared to previous results and the latter is determined for the first time. Using these results along with previous BESIII measurements of D0(+) -> pi(-(0))e(+)nu(e), we calculate the branching fraction ratios to be R-0 BD0 -> pi(-)mu(+)nu mu BD0 -> pi(-)e(+)nu e=0.922 +/- 0.030(start) +/- 0.022(syst) and R+ BD+ -> pi(0)mu(+)nu mu/BD+ -> pi(0)e(+)nu e= 0.964 +/- 0.037(start) +/- 0.026(syst), which arc compatible with the theoretical expectation of lepton flavor universality within 1.7 sigma and 0.5 sigma, respectively. We also examine the branching fraction ratios in different four-momentum transfer square regions, and find no significant deviations from the standard model predictions
