Abstract:

Using 24.1 fb−1 of e+e− collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the Born cross sections and effective form factors of the e+e−→Σ+Σ¯− reaction are measured. The measurements are performed at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.510 to 4.951 GeV. No significant evidence for the decay of the charmonium(-like) states, ψ(3770), ψ(4040), ψ(4160), Y(4230), Y(4360), ψ(4415), and Y(4660), into a Σ+Σ¯− final state is observed. Consequently, upper limits for the products of the branching fractions and the electronic partial widths at the 90% confidence level are reported for these decays.

Abstract:

A measurement of CP-violating observables associated with the interference of B0→ D0K⋆(892)0 and B0→D¯0K⋆8920 decay amplitudes is performed in the D0→ K∓π±(π+π−), D0→ π+π−(π+π−), and D0→ K+K− final states using data collected by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1. CP-violating observables related to the interference of Bs0→D0K¯⋆8920 and Bs0→D¯0K¯⋆8920 are also measured, but no evidence for interference is found. The B0 observables are used to constrain the parameter space of the CKM angle γ and the hadronic parameters rB0DK⋆ and δB0DK⋆ with inputs from other measurements. In a combined analysis, these measurements allow for four solutions in the parameter space, only one of which is consistent with the world average.
