The Impact of Digital Economy on Middle-Income Groups: An Empirical Study in China

This paper explores the impact and mechanism of the digital economy on middle-income groups. In theory, the digital economy can empower middle-income groups by increasing entrepreneurial activity. Empirically, based on the data of CFPS database from 2010 to 2018, this paper measures the proportion of middle-income groups and the development level of digital economy in 25 provinces in China, uses the number of new registrations of private enterprises to describe the entrepreneurial activity, and established a two-way fixed effect model, intermediary mechanism model and heterogeneity analysis model to empirical analysis on this basis. It is found that the digital economy has a significant positive effect on middle-income groups and stimulating entrepreneurial activity is an important transmission mechanism for the digital economy to empower middle-income groups. When other factors remain unchanged, every 1 percentage point increase in the China’s digital economy development index, the proportion of middle-income groups will increase by 0.14%, and the entrepreneurial activity will increase by 0.097%. Further studies have found that significant heterogeneity exists in the effect of middle-income groups empowering middle-income groups. The higher level of digital economy development, the lower impact on middle-income groups, which has the characteristics of diminishing marginal effects

Research on energy sharing between distribution network and multiple systems based on the mixed game strategy and water-electric-gas integrated energy complementation

Introduction: It is significant for energy sharing to study the complementary utilization of multiple energy sources, such as water, electricity and gas, and the interaction among multiple stakeholders.Methods: We propose a research on energy sharing between distribution network and multiple systems based on the mixed game strategy and water-electric-gas integrated energy complementation. Firstly, this paper describes the relationship and functions of all stakeholders under the research framework, and establishes the mathematical model of each unit in the water-electric-gas complementary IES. Secondly, the internal roles are layered based on the relationship between stakeholders in the system. Then a non-cooperative game model for the distribution network operator and multiple subsystems is established according to the theory of Stackelberg game, and a cooperative game model for multiple subsystems is further established based on the theory of Nash bargaining. In the next step, the complexity of the problem is analyzed, followed by the description of the specific algorithm and process of solving the model.Results: Finally, the results of example analysis show that the model proposed in this paper not only balances the interests of stakeholders at the upper and lower layers of the system, but also allocates the interests of multiple subsystems at the lower layer.Discussion: Thus effectively improving the energy utilization of the system

Observation of a charged charmoniumlike structure in e+e−→(D∗Dˉ∗)±π∓e^+e^- \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp at s=4.26\sqrt{s}=4.26GeV

We study the process $e^+e^- \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp$ at a center-of-mass energy of 4.26GeV using a 827pb$^{-1}$ 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 $(137\pm9\pm15)$pb. We observe a structure near the $(D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm}$ threshold in the $\pi^\mp$ recoil mass spectrum, which we denote as the $Z^{\pm}_c(4025)$. The measured mass and width of the structure are $(4026.3\pm2.6\pm3.7)$MeV/c$^2$ and $(24.8\pm5.6\pm7.7)$MeV, respectively. Its production ratio $\frac{\sigma(e^+e^-\to Z^{\pm}_c(4025)\pi^\mp \to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp)}{\sigma(e^+e^-\to (D^{*} \bar{D}^{*})^{\pm} \pi^\mp)}$ is determined to be $0.65\pm0.09\pm0.06$. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; version accepted to be published in PR

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

Study of J/ψ→ppˉJ/\psi\to p\bar{p} and J/ψ→nnˉJ/\psi\to n\bar{n}

The decays $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$ have been investigated with a sample of 225.2 million $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider. The branching fractions are determined to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to p\bar{p})=(2.112\pm0.004\pm0.031)\times10^{-3}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to n\bar{n})=(2.07\pm0.01\pm0.17)\times10^{-3}$. Distributions of the angle $\theta$ between the proton or anti-neutron and the beam direction are well described by the form $1+\alpha\cos^2\theta$, and we find $\alpha=0.595\pm0.012\pm0.015$ for $J/\psi\to p\bar{p}$ and $\alpha=0.50\pm0.04\pm0.21$ for $J/\psi\to n\bar{n}$. Our branching-fraction results suggest a large phase angle between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes describing the $J/\psi\to N\bar{N}$ decay.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures, the 2nd version, submitted to PR

Search for the Lepton Flavor Violation Process J/ψ→eμJ/\psi \to e\mu at BESIII

We search for the lepton-flavor-violating decay of the $J/\psi$ into an electron and a muon using $(225.3\pm2.8)\times 10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. Four candidate events are found in the signal region, consistent with background expectations. An upper limit on the branching fraction of $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to e\mu)< 1.5 \times 10^{-7}$ (90% C.L.) is obtained

First observation of the M1 transition ψ(3686)→γηc(2S)\psi(3686)\to \gamma\eta_c(2S)

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

Search for Baryonic Decays of \psi(3770) and \psi(4040)

By analyzing data samples of 2.9 fb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=3.773 GeV, 482 pb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=4.009 GeV and 67 pb^{-1} collected at \sqrt s=3.542, 3.554, 3.561, 3.600 and 3.650 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we search for \psi(3770) and \psi(4040) decay to baryonic final states, including \Lambda\bar\Lambda\pi^+\pi^-, \Lambda \bar\Lambda\pi^0, \Lambda\bar\Lambda\eta, \Sigma^+ \bar\Sigma^-, \Sigma^0 \bar\Sigma^0, \Xi^-\bar\Xi^+ and \Xi^0\bar\Xi^0 decays. None are observed, and upper limits are set at the 90% confidence level.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

Search for C-parity violation in J/ψ→γγJ/ \psi \to \gamma\gamma and γϕ \gamma \phi

Using $1.06\times10^8$ $\psi(3686)$ events recorded in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 3.686 GeV with the BESIII at the BEPCII collider, we present searches for C-parity violation in $J/\psi \to \gamma\gamma$ and $\gamma \phi$ decays via $\psi(3686) \to J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$. No significant signals are observed in either channel. Upper limits on the branching fractions are set to be $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to \gamma\gamma) < 2.7 \times 10^{-7}$ and $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \to \gamma\phi) < 1.4 \times 10^{-6}$ at the 90\% confidence level. The former is one order of magnitude more stringent than the previous upper limit, and the latter represents the first limit on this decay channel.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
