u007fA search for radiative decays of the $P$-wave spin singlet charmonium resonance $h_c$ is performed based on $4.48 times 10^{8}$ $psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Events of the reaction channels $h_{c} rightarrow gamma eta$ and $gamma eta$ are observed with a statistical significance of $8.4 sigma$ and $4.0 sigma$, respectively, for the first time. The branching fractions of $h_{c} rightarrow gamma eta$ and $h_{c} rightarrow gamma eta$ are measured to be $mathcal{B}(h_{c} rightarrow gamma eta)=(1.52 pm 0.27 pm 0.29)times10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}(h_{c} rightarrow gamma eta)=(4.7 pm 1.5 pm 1.4)times10^{-4}$, respectively, where the first errors are statistical and the second are systematic uncertainties.

Motivated by recent measurements of the radiative decay rates of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet charmonium $h_c$ to the light meson $eta$ or $eta^prime$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate the decay rates of these channels at order $alpha alpha_s^4$. The photon is radiated mainly from charm quark pairs in the lowest order Feynman diagrams, since the diagrams where a photon radiated from light quarks are suppressed by $alpha_s$ or the relative charm quark velocity $v$, due to Charge parity conservation. The form factors of two gluons to $eta$ or $eta^prime$ are employed, which are the major mechanism for $eta$ and $eta^prime$ productions. $eta(eta^prime)$ is treated as a light cone object when we consider that the parent charmonium mass is much heavier than that of the final light meson. We obtain the branching ratio ${cal B}(h_cto gammaeta^prime) = (1.94^{+0.70}_{-0.51})times 10^{-3}$ in the nonrelativistic QCD approach, which is in agreement with the BESIII measurement. The prediction of the branching ratio of $h_cto gammaeta$ is also within the range of experimental error after including the larger uncertainty of the total decay width $Gamma_{h_c}$. The applications of these formulae to the radiative decays to $eta(eta^prime)$ of the emph{P}-wave spin singlet bottomonium $h_b(nP)$ are presented. These studies will shed some light on the $eta - eta^prime$ mixing effects, the flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking, as well as the nonperturbative dynamics of charmonium and bottomonium.
We observe for the first time the process $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow eta h_c$ with data collected by the BESIII experiment. Significant signals are observed at the center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=4.226$ GeV, and the Born cross section is measured to be $(9.5^{+2.2}_{-2.0} pm 2.7)$ pb. Evidence for $eta h_c$ is observed at $sqrt{s}=4.358$ GeV with a Born cross section of $(10.0^{+3.1}_{-2.7} pm 2.6)$ pb, and upper limits on the production cross section at other center-of-mass energies between 4.085 and 4.600 GeV are determined.
Using a data sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII, we perform search for the hadronic transition $h_crightarrowpi^+pi^-J/psi$ via $psi(3686)rightarrowpi^0h_c$. No signals of the transition are observed, and the upper limit on the product branching fraction $mathcal{B}(psi(3686)rightarrowpi^0h_c)mathcal{B}(h_crightarrowpi^+pi^-J/psi)$ at the 90% confidence level is determined to be $2.0times10^{-6}$. This is the most stringent upper limit to date.
FCNC top decays are very strongly suppressed in the Standard Model and the observation of any such decay would be a direct signature of physics beyond SM. Many new physics scenarios predict contributions to FCNC processes and the largest enhancement in many models is for t$rightarrow$cH decay. Enhancements for the decay channel t$rightarrow$c$gamma$ are more modest, but the decay still has a clearly identifiable kinematic signature. Prospects for measuring these decays at CLIC running at 380 GeV were studied with full detector simulation, taking the luminosity distribution, beam polarization and beam induced background into account. Top pair production events with t$rightarrow$cH decays can be identified based on the kinematic constraints and flavour tagging information. The analysis was divided into three steps: classification of top pair candidate events, event quality determination and kinematic reconstruction based on signal or background hypotheses, and final separation of signal from background. To obtain optimal results, selection criteria based on the dedicated Boosted Decision Trees (BDT) were used at each step. The expected limit on BR(t$rightarrow$cH)$times$BR(H$rightarrow bbar{b}$) from a combined analysis of hadronic and semi-leptonic top pair samples, as well as the limit on BR(t$rightarrow$c$gamma$) from hadronic top pair decays are presented.
This paper presents results from partial-wave analyses of the photoproduction reactions $gamma p rightarrow eta p$ and $gamma n rightarrow eta n$. World data for the observables DSG, $Sigma$, $T$, $P$, $F$, and $E$ were analyzed as part of this work. The dominant amplitude in the fitting range from threshold to a c.m. energy of 1900 MeV was found to be $S_{11}$ in both reactions, consistent with results of other groups. At c.m. energies above 1600 MeV, our solution deviates from published results, with this work finding higher-order partial waves becoming significant. Data off the proton suggest that the higher-order terms contributing to the reaction include $P_{11}$, $P_{13}$, and $F_{15}$. The final results also hint that $F_{17}$ is needed to fit double-polarization observables above 1900 MeV. Data off the neutron show a contribution from $P_{13}$, as well as strong contributions from $D_{13}$ and $D_{15}$.
