Study of J/ψ→pp̄ and J/ψ→nn̄

The decays J/ψ→pp̄ and J/ψ→nn̄ have been investigated with a sample of 225.2×10⁶ J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e⁺e⁻ collider. The branching fractions are determined to be B(J/ψ→pp̄)=(2.112±0.004±0.031)×10⁻³ and B(J/ψ→nn̄)=(2.07±0.01±0.17)×10⁻³. Distributions of the angle θ between the proton or antineutron and the beam direction are well described by the form 1+αcos ²θ, and we find α=0.595±0.012±0.015 for J/ψ→pp̄ and α=0.50±0.04±0.21 for J/ψ→nn̄. Our branching-fraction results suggest a large phase angle between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes describing the J/ψ→NN¯¯¯ decay.

First observation of the isospin violating decay J/ψ→ΛΣ̄⁰+c.c.

Using a sample of (225.2±2.8)×10⁶ J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present results of a study of J/ψ→γΛΛ¯¯¯ and report the first observation of the isospin violating decay J/ψ→ΛΣ¯¯¯⁰+c.c., in which Σ¯¯¯⁰ decays to γΛ¯¯¯. The measured branching fractions are B(J/ψ→Λ¯¯¯Σ⁰)=(1.46±0.11±0.12)×10⁻⁵ and B(J/ψ→ΛΣ¯¯¯⁰)=(1.37±0.12±0.11)×10⁻⁵. We search for Λ(1520)→γΛ decay, and find no evident signal, and an upper limit for the product branching fraction B(J/ψ→ΛΛ¯¯¯(1520)+c.c.)×B(Λ(1520)→γΛ)<4.1×10⁻⁶ is set at the 90% confidence level. We also report the observation of η c →ΛΛ¯¯¯ in J/ψ→γη c , η c →ΛΛ¯¯¯ and measure the branching fraction B(η c →ΛΛ¯¯¯)=(1.16±0.12(stat)±0.19(syst)±0.28(PDG))×10⁻³.

Research and Development of H Ion Source and LEBT for a Kaon-neutrino Factory

A baseline H{sup -} ion source and low energy beam transport system (LEBT) have been identified for Project X. The filament-discharge H{sup -} ion source has been fabricated by D-Pace, Inc. and is now in operation at LBNL. The source is capable of delivering over 10mA of H{sup -} beam in cw operation with normalized 4rms emittances less than 0.7 {pi} mm mrad. A two-solenoid magnetic lens LEBT system has been design. The design has been validated with simulations of beam transport for 5 mA 30 keV H- beams using various simulation codes.

Observation of {chi}{sub c1} Decays into Vector Meson Pairs {phi}{phi}, {omega}{omega}, and {omega}{phi}

Using (106{+-}4)x10{sup 6} {psi}(3686) events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e{sup +}e{sup -} collider, we present the first measurement of decays of {chi}{sub c1} to vector meson pairs {phi}{phi}, {omega}{omega}, and {omega}{phi}. The branching fractions are measured to be (4.4{+-}0.3{+-}0.5)x10{sup -4}, (6.0{+-}0.3{+-}0.7)x10{sup -4}, and (2.2{+-}0.6{+-}0.2)x10{sup -5}, for {chi}{sub c1}{yields}{phi}{phi}, {omega}{omega}, and {omega}{phi}, respectively, which indicates that the hadron helicity selection rule is significantly violated in {chi}{sub cJ} decays. In addition, the measurement of {chi}{sub cJ}{yields}{omega}{phi} provides the first indication of the rate of doubly OZI-suppressed {chi}{sub cJ} decay. Finally, we present improved measurements for the branching fractions of {chi}{sub c0} and {chi}{sub c2} to vector meson pairs.

Observation of χ cJ decaying into the pp̄K⁺K⁻ final state

First measurements of the decays of the three χ cJ states to pp̄K⁺K⁻ final states are presented. Intermediate Φ→K⁺K⁻ and Λ(1520)→pK⁻ resonance states are observed, and branching fractions for χ cJ →p̄K⁺Λ(1520), Λ(1520)Λ¯¯¯(1520), and Φpp̄ are reported. We also measure branching fractions for direct χ cJ →pp̄K⁺K⁻ decays. These are first observations of χ cJ decays to unstable baryon resonances and provide useful information about the χ cJ states. The experiment uses samples of χ cJ mesons produced via radiative transitions from 106×10⁶ ψ' mesons collected in the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e⁺e⁻ collider.

Confirmation of the X(1835) and Observation of the Resonances X(2120) and X(2370) in J/{psi}{yields}{gamma}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{eta}'

With a sample of (225.2{+-}2.8)x10{sup 6} J/{psi} events registered in the BESIII detector, J/{psi}{yields}{gamma}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{eta}' is studied using two {eta}{sup '} decay modes: {eta}{sup '}{yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{eta} and {eta}{sup '}{yields}{gamma}{rho}{sup 0}. The X(1835), which was previously observed by BESII, is confirmed with a statistical significance that is larger than 20{sigma}. In addition, in the {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{eta}' invariant-mass spectrum, the X(2120) and the X(2370), are observed with statistical significances larger than 7.2{sigma} and 6.4{sigma}, respectively. For the X(1835), the angular distribution of the radiative photon is consistent with expectations for a pseudoscalar.
