Precise Measurement of the e + e - → π + π - J / ψ Cross Section at Center-of-Mass Energies from 3.77 to 4.60 GeV
The statistical significance of this resonance is estimated to be larger than 7.6 σ . The mass and width of the second resonance agree with the Y(4360) resonance reported by the BABAR and Belle experiments within errors. Finally, the Y ( 4008 ) resonance previously observed by the Belle experiment is not confirmed in the description of the BESIII data.
Evidence of Two Resonant Structures in e + e - → π + π - h c
The cross sections of e + e - →π + π - h c at center-of-mass energies from 3.896 to 4.600 GeV are measured using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The cross sections are found to be of the same order of magnitude as those of e + e - →π + π - J/ψ and e + e - →π + π - ψ (2S), but the line shape is inconsistent with the Y states observed in the latter two modes. Two structures are observed in the e + e - → π + π - h c cross sections around 4.22 and 4.39 GeV / c 2 , which we call Y ( 4220 ) and Y ( 4390 ) , respectively. A fit with a coherent sum of two Breit-Wigner functions results in a mass of (4218.4 $+5.5\atop{-4.5 ± 0.9) MeV/c 2 and a width of 66.0$+12.3\atop-8.3$±0.4 MeV for the Y (4220), and a mass of (4391.5 $+6.3\atop-16.8$ ± 1.0) MeV/c 2 and a width of (139.5$+16.2\atop-20.6 ± 0.6) MeV for the Y (4390), where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The statistical significance of Y ( 4220 ) and Y(4390) is 10σ over one structure assumption.
Luminosity measurements for the R scan experiment at BESIII
By analyzing the large-angle Bhabha scattering events e + e - → (γ)e + e - and diphoton events e + e - → (γ)γγ for the data sets collected at center-of-mass (c.m.) energies between 2.2324 and 4.5900 GeV (131 energy points in total) with the upgraded Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII), the integrated luminosities have been measured at the different c.m. energies, individually. Finally, the results are important inputs for the R value and J/ψ resonance parameter measurements.
Amplitude Analysis of the Decays η ' → π + π - π 0 and η ' → π 0 π 0 π 0
Based on a sample of 1.31 × 10 9 J / ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis of the isospin-violating decays η'→ π + π - π 0 and η' → π 0 π 0 π 0 is performed. A significant P-wave contribution from η'→ ρ ± π ∓ is observed for the first time in η' → π + π - π 0 . The branching fraction is determined to be B ( η'→ ρ ± π ∓ ) = ( 7.44 ± 0.60 ± 1.26 ± 1.84 ) × 10 -4 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic, and the third model dependent. In addition to the nonresonant S -wave component, there is a significant σ meson component. The branching fractions of the combined S -wave components are determined to be B ( η' → π + π - π 0 ) S = ( 37.63 ± 0.77 ± 2.22 ± 4.48 ) × 10 -4 and B ( η' → π 0 π 0 π 0 ) = ( 35.22 ± 0.82 ± 2.54 ) × 10 -4 , respectively. Finally, the latter one is consistent with previous BESIII measurements.
Measurement of the absolute branching fraction of D + → $\bar{K}$ 0 e + ν e via $\bar{K}$ 0 → π 0 π 0
By analyzing 2.93 fb–1 data collected at the center-of-mass energy with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction of the semileptonic decay D+ → $\bar{K}$0 e+νe to be Β(D + → $\bar{K}$ 0 e + ν e ) = (8.59 ± 0.14 ± 0.21)% using $\bar{K}$ 0 → K 0 s → π 0 π 0 , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Finally, our result is consistent with previous measurements within uncertainties..
Feasibility studies of time-like proton electromagnetic form factors at $\overline{\rm P}$ANDA at FAIR
Simulation results for future measurements of electromagnetic proton form factors at $\overline{\rm P}$ANDA (FAIR) within the PandaRoot software framework are reported. The statistical precision with which the proton form factors can be determined is estimated. The signal channel p¯p → e + e – is studied on the basis of two different but consistent procedures. The suppression of the main background channel, i.e. p¯p → π + π – , is studied. Furthermore, the background versus signal efficiency, statistical and systematical uncertainties on the extracted proton form factors are evaluated using two different procedures. The results are consistent with those of a previous simulation study using an older, simplified framework. Furthermore, a slightly better precision is achieved in the PandaRoot study in a large range of momentum transfer, assuming the nominal beam conditions and detector performance.

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.
