Measurement of the CP-even fraction of D-0 -> pi(+) pi(-) pi(+) pi(-)

A measurement of the CP-even fraction of the decay D-0 -&gt; pi(+) pi(-) pi(+) pi(-) is performed with a quantum-correlated psi(3770) -&gt; D (D) over bar data sample collected by the BESIII experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb(-1). Using a combination of CP eigenstates, D-0 -&gt; pi(+) pi(-) pi(+) pi(-) and D -&gt; K-S,L(0) pi(+) pi(-) as tagging modes, the CP-even fraction is measured to be F-+(4 pi) = 0.735 +/- 0.015 +/- 0.005, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This is the most precise determination of this quantity to date. It provides valuable model-independent input for the measurement of the angle gamma of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix with B +/- -&gt; DK +/- decays, and for time-dependent studies of CP violation and mixing in the D-0-(D) over bar (0) system.For complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.106.092004</p

Study of the processes χcJ → Ξ−Ξ¯+ and Ξ0Ξ¯0

Using 448.1 × 106 ψ(3686) decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e+e− storage rings, the branching fractions and angular distributions of the decays χcJ → Ξ−Ξ¯¯¯¯+ and Ξ0Ξ¯¯¯¯0 (J = 0, 1, 2) are measured based on a partial-reconstruction technique. The decays χc1 → Ξ0Ξ¯¯¯¯0 and χc2 → Ξ0Ξ¯¯¯¯0 are observed for the first time with statistical significances of 7σ and 15σ, respectively. The results of this analysis are in good agreement with previous measurements and have significantly improved precision

Measurements of the center-of-mass energies of e+e− collisions at BESIII

During the 2016-17 and 2018-19 running periods, the BESIII experiment collected 7.5~fb−1 of e+e− collision data at center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.13 to 4.44~GeV. These data samples are primarily used for the study of excited charmonium and charmoniumlike states. By analyzing the di-muon process e+e−→(γISR/FSR)μ+μ−, we measure the center-of-mass energies of the data samples with a precision of 0.6 MeV. Through a run-by-run study, we find that the center-of-mass energies were stable throughout most of the data-taking period

Search for an axion-like particle in radiative J/ψ decays

We search for an axion-like particle (ALP) a through the process ψ(3686)→π+π−J/ψ, J/ψ→γa, a→γγ in a data sample of (2.71±0.01)×109 ψ(3686) events collected by the BESIII detector. No significant ALP signal is observed over the expected background, and the upper limits on the branching fraction of the decay J/ψ→γa and the ALP-photon coupling constant gaγγ are set at 95% confidence level in the mass range of 0.165≤ma≤2.84GeV/c2. The limits on B(J/ψ→γa) range from 8.3×10−8 to 1.8×10−6 over the search region, and the constraints on the ALP-photon coupling are the most stringent to date for 0.165≤ma≤1.468GeV/c2

Measurement of cross section for e+⁢e−→Ξ−⁢¯Ξ+ near threshold at BESIII

The Born cross sections and effective form factors for process +⁢−→Ξ−⁢¯Ξ+ are measured at eight center-of-mass energies between 2.644 and 3.080 GeV, using a total integrated luminosity of 363.9  pb−1 +⁢− collision data collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII. After performing a fit to the Born cross section of +⁢−→Ξ−⁢¯Ξ+, no significant threshold effect is observed

Partial wave analysis of J/ψ→γη′η′

Using a sample of (10.09±0.04)×109 J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, a partial wave analysis of J/ψ→γη′η′ is performed.The masses and widths of the observed resonances and their branching fractions are reported. The main contribution is from J/ψ→γf0(2020) with f0(2020)→η′η′, which is found with a significance of greater than 25σ. The product branching fraction B(J/ψ → γf0(2020))⋅B(f0(2020) → η′η′ is measured to be (2.63±0.06(stat.) + 0.31−0.46(syst.))×10−4

Search for the decay D0→π0ν¯ν

We present the first experimental search for the rare charm decay D0→π0ν¯ν. It is based on an e+e− collision sample consisting of 10.6×10^6 pairs of D0¯D0 mesons collected by the BESIII detector at √s=3.773 GeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 fb^−1. A data-driven method is used to ensure the reliability of the background modeling. No significant D0→π0ν¯ν signal is observed in data and an upper limit of the branching fraction is set to be 2.1×10^-4 at the 90% confidence level. This is the first experimental constraint on charmed-hadron decays into dineutrino final states

The measured branching fraction of this decay is (0.54±0.12±0.04)%, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic
