Determination of the number of J/ψ events with inclusive J/ψ decays

A measurement of the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector in 2009 and 2012 is performed using inclusive decays of the J/ψ. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2009 is recalculated to be (223.7 ± 1.4) × 10 6 , which is in good agreement with the previous measurement, but with significantly improved precision due to improvements in the BESIII software. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2012 is determined to be (1086.9 ± 6.0) × 10 6 . In total, the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector is measured to be (1310.6 ± 7.0) × 10 6 , where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.

Improved measurement of the absolute branching fraction of $D^{+}\rightarrow \bar{K}^0 \mu ^{+}\nu _{\mu }$

Here, by analyzing 2.93 fb -1 of data collected at √s = 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction B(D + → K¯ 0 μ + ν μ ) = (8.72 ± 0.07 stat. ± 0.18 sys. )%, which is consistent with previous measurements within uncertainties but with significantly improved precision. Combining the Particle Data Group values of B(D 0 → K - μ + ν μ ), B(D + → K¯ 0 e + ν e ), and the lifetimes of the D 0 and D + mesons with the value of B(D + → K¯ 0 μ + ν μ ) measured in this work, we determine the following ratios of partial widths: Γ(D 0 → K - μ + ν μ )/Γ(D + → K¯ 0 μ + ν μ ) = 0.963 ± 0.044 and Γ(D + → K¯ 0 μ + ν μ )/Γ(D + → K¯ 0 e + ν e ) = 0.988 ± 0.033.

Measurements of the center-of-mass energies at BESIII via the di-muon process

From 2011 to 2014, the BESIII experiment collected about 5 fb -1 data at center-of-mass energies around 4 GeV for the studies of the charmonium-like and higher excited charmonium states. By analyzing the di-muon process e + e - → γ ISR/FSR μ + μ - , the center-of-mass energies of the data samples are measured with a precision of 0.8 MeV. The center-of-mass energy is found to be stable for most of the time during data taking.
