The vector charmoniumlike state $Y(4220)$ was reported recently in the cross sections of $e^+e^-to omega chi_{c0}$, $pi^+pi^-h_c$, $pi^+pi^- J/psi$, and $D^0 D^{*-}pi^+ + c.c.$ measured by the BESIII experiment. A combined fit is performed to the cross sections of these four final states to extract the resonant parameters of the $Y(4220)$. We determine a mass $M=(4219.6pm 3.3pm 5.1)$~MeV/$c^2$ and a total width $Gamma=(56.0pm 3.6pm 6.9)$~MeV for the $Y(4220)$, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. Assuming the $Y(4220)$ decays dominantly to the above four modes and their isospin symmetric modes, we also estimate its leptonic decay width and decay branching fractions. These information is essential for the understanding of the nature of this state.
Many vector charmonium-like states have been reported recently in the cross sections of $e^+e^- rightarrow omegachi_{c0}$, $pi^{+}pi^{-}h_c$, $pi^{+}pi^{-}J/psi$, $pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$ and $pi^{+}D^{0}D^{*-}+c.c.$ To better understand the nature of these states, a combined fit is performed to these cross sections by using three resonances $Y(4220)$, $Y(4390)$ and $Y(4660)$. The resonant parameters for the three resonances are obtained. We emphasize that two resonances $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4390)$ are sufficient to explain these cross sections below 4.6 GeV. The lower limits of $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4390)$s leptonic decay widths are also determined to be $(36.4pm2.0pm4.2)$ and $(123.8pm6.5pm9.0)$ eV.
The cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-} to eta J/psi$ at center-of-mass energies ($sqrt{s}$) between 3.81 and 4.60 GeV are measured with high precision by using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Three structures are observed by analyzing the lineshape of the measured cross sections, and a maximum-likelihood fit including three resonances is performed by assuming the lowest lying structure is the $psi(4040)$. For the other resonances, we obtain masses of $(4218.7 pm 4.0 pm 2.5)$ and $(4380.4 pm 14.2 pm 1.8)$ MeV/c$^{2}$ with corresponding widths of $(82.5 pm 5.9 pm 0.5)$ and $(147.0 pm 63.0 pm 25.8)$ MeV, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The measured resonant parameters are consistent with those of the $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4360)$ from pr evious measurements of different final states. For the first time, we observe the decays of the $Y(4220)$ and $Y(4360)$ into $eta J/psi$ final states.
The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is a key element to describe flavour dynamics in the Standard Model. With only four parameters, this matrix is able to describe a large range of phenomena in the quark sector, such as CP violation and rare decays. It can thus be constrained by many different processes, which have to be measured experimentally with a high accuracy and computed with a good theoretical control. With the advent of the B factories and the LHCb experiment taking data, the precision has significantly improved recently. The most relevant experimental constraints and theoretical inputs are reviewed and fits to the CKM matrix are presented for the Standard Model and for some topical model-independent studies of New Physics.
Search for exotics has increased importance since the observation of the X(3872), 13 years ago, announced by the Belle Collaboration. The observation of pentaquark states by LHCb, and the Z-charged states observed at Belle and BES III have raised even more the attention to the field. Presently several states are observed that do not fit potential models, and looking for them in different production mechanisms and search for their decay modes it is important, as well as to do precise measurement of their mass, width, lineshape. We shortly report in this note about the plan in searching for exotics at Belle II at KEK (Tsukuba, Japan), that just ended the Phase-II running period, and show the first re-discovery results using 5 pb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity.
Charm and charmonium physics have gained renewed interest in the past decade. Recent spectroscopic observations strongly motivate these studies. Among the several possible reactions, measurements in proton-antiproton annihilation play an important role, complementary to the studies performed at B-factories. The fixed target PANDA experiment at FAIR (Darmstadt, Germany) will investigate fundamental questions of hadron and nuclear physics in the interactions of antiprotons with nucleons and nuclei. With reaction rates as large as 2*10^7 interactions/s, and a mass resolution 20 times better as compared with the most recent B-factories, PANDA is in a privileged position to successfully perform the measurement of the width of narrow states, such as the X(3872). PANDA will investigate also high spin particles, whose observation was forbidden at B-factories, i.e. F-wave charmonium states. In this report extrapolations on cross sections and rates with PANDA are given.
