Abstract:

With a sample of (10087 ± 44) × 106J/ψ events accumulated with the BESIII detector, we analyze the decays η′ → π+π−l+l−(l = e, μ) via the process J/ψ → γη′. The branching fractions are measured to be B(η′ → π+π−e+e−) = (2.45 ± 0.02(stat.) ± 0.08(syst.)) × 10−3 and B(η′ → π+π−μ+μ−) = (2.16 ± 0.12(stat.) ± 0.06(syst.)) × 10−5, and the ratio is Bη′→π+π−e+e−Bη′→π+π−μ+μ−=113.4±0.9stat.±3.7syst.. In addition, by combining the η′ → π+π−e+e− and η′ → π+π−μ+μ− decays, the slope parameter of the electromagnetic transition form factor is measured to be bη′ = 1.30 ± 0.19 (GeV/c2)−2, which is consistent with previous measurements from BESIII and theoretical predictions from the VMD model. The asymmetry in the angle between the π+π− and l+l− decay planes, which has the potential to reveal the CP-violation originating from an unconventional electric dipole transition, is also investigated. The asymmetry parameters are determined to be ACPη′→π+π−e+e−=−0.21±0.73stat.±0.01syst.% and ACPη′→π+π−μ+μ−=0.62±4.71stat.±0.08syst.%, implying that no evidence of CP-violation is observed at the present statistics. Finally, an axion-like particle is searched for via the decay η′ → π+π−a, a → e+e−, and upper limits of the branching fractions are presented for the mass assumptions of the axion-like particle in the range of 0 − 500 MeV/c2.

Abstract:

A search for the fully reconstructed Bs0→ μ+μ−γ decay is performed at the LHCb experiment using proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4 fb−1. No significant signal is found and upper limits on the branching fraction in intervals of the dimuon mass are setBBs0→μ+μ−γ<4.2×10−8, mμ+μ−∈2mμ1.70GeV/c2, BBs0→μ+μ−γ<7.7×10−8, mμ+μ−∈1.70, 2.88GeV/c2, BBs0→μ+μ−γ<4.2×10−8, mμ+μ−∈3.92mBs0GeV/c2, at 95% confidence level. Additionally, upper limits are set on the branching fraction in the [2mμ, 1.70] GeV/c2 dimuon mass region excluding the contribution from the intermediate ϕ(1020) meson, and in the region combining all dimuon-mass intervals.

Abstract:

We measured the Born cross sections for the process e+e− → ωη′ at 22 center-of-mass energies from 2.000 to 3.080 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. We observed a resonant structure with a statistical significance of 9.6σ. A Breit-Wigner fit determines its mass to be MR = (2153 ± 30 ± 31) MeV/c2 and its width to be ΓR = (167 ± 77 ± 7) MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.
