Scalar-Kinetic Branes
This work tries to find out thick brane solutions in braneworld scenarios
described by a real scalar field in the presence of a scalar-kinetic term
with a single extra dimension, where
stands for the standard kinetic term and
. We mainly consider bent branes, namely de Sitter and Anti-de
Sitter four-dimensional slices. The solutions of a flat brane are obtained when
taking the four-dimensional cosmological constant .
When the parameter , these solutions turn to those of the standard
scenario. The localization and spectrum of graviton on these branes are also
analyzed.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, accepted by EP
Dual Spaces of Resonance In Thick Branes
In this work we consider form fields in a brane embedded in a
space-time. The membrane is generated by a domain wall in a
Randall-Sundrum-like scenario. We study conditions for localization of zero
modes of these fields. The expression agrees and generalizes the one found for
the zero, one, two and three-forms in a brane. By a generalization we mean
that our expression is valid for any form in an arbitrary dimension with
codimension one. We also point out that, even without the dilaton coupling,
some form fields are localized in the membrane. The massive modes are
considered and the resonances are calculated using a numerical method. We find
that different spaces have identical resonance structures, which we call dual
spaces of resonances(DSR).Comment: 15 page
Observation of Y(2175) in
The decays of are analyzed using a sample of events collected with the BESII detector at the Beijing
Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC). A structure at around GeV/ with
about significance is observed in the invariant mass
spectrum. A fit with a Breit-Wigner function gives the peak mass and width of
GeV/ and GeV/, respectively, that are consistent with those
of Y(2175), observed by the BABAR collaboration in the initial-state radiation
(ISR) process . The production branching
ratio is determined to be , assuming that the Y(2175) is a state.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Phys. Rev. Let

First observation of the M1 transition
Using a sample of 106 million \psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII
detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we have made the first measurement of the
M1 transition between the radially excited charmonium S-wave spin-triplet and
the radially excited S-wave spin-singlet states: \psi(3686)\to\gamma\eta_c(2S).
Analyses of the processes \psi(2S)\to \gamma\eta_c(2S) with \eta_c(2S)\to
\K_S^0 K\pi and K^+K^-\pi^0 gave an \eta_c(2S) signal with a statistical
significance of greater than 10 standard deviations under a wide range of
assumptions about the signal and background properties. The data are used to
obtain measurements of the \eta_c(2S) mass (M(\eta_c(2S))=3637.6\pm
2.9_\mathrm{stat}\pm 1.6_\mathrm{sys} MeV/c^2), width
(\Gamma(\eta_c(2S))=16.9\pm 6.4_\mathrm{stat}\pm 4.8_\mathrm{sys} MeV), and the
product branching fraction (\BR(\psi(3686)\to \gamma\eta_c(2S))\times
\BR(\eta_c(2S)\to K\bar K\pi) = (1.30\pm 0.20_\mathrm{stat}\pm
0.30_\mathrm{sys})\times 10^{-5}). Combining our result with a BaBar
measurement of \BR(\eta_c(2S)\to K\bar K \pi), we find the branching fraction
of the M1 transition to be \BR(\psi(3686)\to\gamma\eta_c(2S)) = (6.8\pm
1.1_\mathrm{stat}\pm 4.5_\mathrm{sys})\times 10^{-4}.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl

Precision measurement of the branching fractions of J/psi -> pi+pi-pi0 and psi' -> pi+pi-pi0
We study the decays of the J/psi and psi' mesons to pi+pi-pi0 using data
samples at both resonances collected with the BES III detector in 2009. We
measure the corresponding branching fractions with unprecedented precision and
provide mass spectra and Dalitz plots. The branching fraction for J/psi ->
pi+pi-pi0 is determined to be (2.137 +- 0.004 (stat.) +0.058-0.056 (syst.)
+0.027-0.026 (norm.))*10-2, and the branching fraction for psi' -> pi+pi-pi0 is
measured as (2.14 +- 0.03 (stat.) +0.08-0.07 (syst.) +0.09-0.08 (norm.))*10-4.
The J/psi decay is found to be dominated by an intermediate rho(770) state,
whereas the psi' decay is dominated by di-pion masses around 2.2 GeV/c2,
leading to strikingly different Dalitz distributions.Comment: 15 pages, 2 figure
Observation of decays into vector meson pairs , , and
Decays of to vector meson pairs , and

\psip events accumulated at the BESIII detector at the BEPCII
collider. The branching fractions are measured to be , , and , for , , and ,
respectively. The observation of decays into a pair of vector
mesons , and indicates that the hadron
helicity selection rule is significantly violated in decays. In
addition, the measurement of gives the rate of doubly
OZI-suppressed decay. Branching fractions for and
decays into other vector meson pairs are also measured with improved precision.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Observation of a charged charmoniumlike structure in at GeV
We study the process at a
center-of-mass energy of 4.26GeV using a 827pb data sample obtained with
the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. Based on a
partial reconstruction technique, the Born cross section is measured to be
pb. We observe a structure near the
threshold in the recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as the
. The measured mass and width of the structure are
MeV/c and MeV, respectively. Its
production ratio is determined to be . The first uncertainties
are statistical and the second are systematic.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; version accepted to be published in PR
