Observation of in
Using a sample of events recorded with
the BESIII detector at the symmetric electron positron collider BEPCII, we
report the observation of the decay of the charmonium state
into a pair of mesons in the process

time to be , where the first uncertainty is
statistical, the second systematic and the third is from the uncertainty of

determined as MeV/ and
MeV.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figure
Higher-order multipole amplitude measurement in
Using events collected with the BESIII detector at
the BEPCII storage ring, the higher-order multipole amplitudes in the radiative
transition are measured.
A fit to the production and decay angular distributions yields
and , where the first
errors are statistical and the second systematic. Here denotes the
normalized magnetic quadrupole amplitude and the normalized electric
octupole amplitude. This measurement shows evidence for the existence of the
signal with statistical significance and is consistent with
the charm quark having no anomalous magnetic moment.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

Observation and study of the decay
We report the observation and study of the decay

collected with the BESIII detector. Its branching fraction, including all
possible intermediate states, is measured to be

denoted as , in the mass spectrum in the GeV/
region. Using two decay modes of the meson ( and
), a simultaneous fit to the mass spectra is
performed. Assuming the quantum numbers of the to be , its
significance is found to be 4.4, with a mass and width of MeV/ and MeV, respectively, and a
product branching fraction
. Alternatively, assuming , the
significance is 3.8, with a mass and width of MeV/ and MeV, respectively, and a product
branching fraction
. The angular distribution of

measurements the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures and 4 table
Study of and and
We study the decays of and to the final states
and based on a single
baryon tag method using data samples of

the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The decays to

measured branching fractions of and
are in good agreement with, and much
more precise, than the previously published results. The angular parameters for
these decays are also measured for the first time. The measured angular decay
parameter for , , is found to be negative, different to the other
decay processes in this measurement. In addition, the "12\% rule" and isospin
symmetry in the and and
systems are tested.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures. This version is consistent with paper published

Two-photon widths of the states and helicity analysis for \chi_{c2}\ar\gamma\gamma}
Based on a data sample of 106 M events collected with the
BESIII detector, the decays \psi^{\prime}\ar\gamma\chi_{c0, 2},\chi_{c0,
2}\ar\gamma\gamma are studied to determine the two-photon widths of the
states. The two-photon decay branching fractions are determined
to be {\cal B}(\chi_{c0}\ar\gamma\gamma) = (2.24\pm 0.19\pm 0.12\pm
0.08)\times 10^{-4} and {\cal B}(\chi_{c2}\ar\gamma\gamma) = (3.21\pm 0.18\pm
0.17\pm 0.13)\times 10^{-4}. From these, the two-photon widths are determined
to be keV,
keV, and
, where the uncertainties
are statistical, systematic, and those from the PDG {\cal
B}(\psi^{\prime}\ar\gamma\chi_{c0,2}) and errors,
respectively. The ratio of the two-photon widths for helicity and
helicity components in the decay \chi_{c2}\ar\gamma\gamma is
measured for the first time to be .Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Measurement of azimuthal asymmetries in inclusive charged dipion production in annihilations at = 3.65 GeV
We present a measurement of the azimuthal asymmetries of two charged pions in
the inclusive process based on a data set of 62
at the center-of-mass energy GeV collected with
the BESIII detector. These asymmetries can be attributed to the Collins
fragmentation function. We observe a nonzero asymmetry, which increases with
increasing pion momentum. As our energy scale is close to that of the existing
semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering experimental data, the measured
asymmetries are important inputs for the global analysis of extracting the
quark transversity distribution inside the nucleon and are valuable to explore
the energy evolution of the spin-dependent fragmentation function.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
