Using $4.48 times 10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $chi_{cJ} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi$ through the radiative decays $psi(3686) rightarrow gammachi_{cJ}$, where $J=0,1,2$. The decays $chi_{c1,2} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi$ are observed, and the corresponding branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(chi_{c1} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi) = (2.51 pm 0.18 pm 0.20)times10^{-4}$ and $mathcal{B}(chi_{c2} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi) = (2.33 pm 0.18 pm 0.29)times10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second one systematic. No significant $chi_{c0} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi$ decay is observed, and the upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be $2.0times10^{-5}$ at 90% confidence level. Also, we present a study of di-muon invariant mass dependent transition form factor for the decays $chi_{c1,2} rightarrow mu^{+}mu^{-}J/psi$.
Using $4.479 times 10^{8}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$. The decays $psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}$ and $chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi$ are observed for the first time. The measured branching fractions are $mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2}) = (11.7 pm 2.5 pm 1.0)times10^{-4}$, $(8.6 pm 0.3 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, $(6.9 pm 0.5 pm 0.6)times10^{-4}$, and $mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi) = (1.51 pm 0.30 pm 0.13)times10^{-4}$, $(3.73 pm 0.09 pm 0.25)times10^{-3}$, $(2.48 pm 0.08 pm 0.16)times10^{-3}$. The ratios of the branching fractions $frac{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}chi_{c0,1,2})}{mathcal{B}(psi(3686) rightarrow gammachi_{c0,1,2})}$ and $frac{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}J/psi)}{mathcal{B}(chi_{c0,1,2} rightarrow gamma J/psi)}$ are also reported.
Based on a sample of (225.3pm2.8)times 10^{6} J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector, the electromagnetic Dalitz decays of J/psi to P e^+e^-(P=eta/eta/pi^0) are studied. By reconstructing the pseudoscalar mesons in various decay modes, the decays J/psi to eta e^+e^-, J/psi to eta e^+e^- and J/psi to pi^0 e^+e^- are observed for the first time. The branching fractions are determined to be mathcal{B}(J/psito eta e^+e^-) = (5.81pm0.16pm0.31)times10^{-5}, mathcal{B}(J/psito eta e^+e^-) = (1.16pm0.07pm0.06)times10^{-5}, and mathcal{B}(J/psito pi^0 e^+e^-)=(7.56pm1.32pm0.50)times10^{-7}, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones systematic.
We measured the branching fractions of the decays $chi_{cJ}toSigma^{-}bar{Sigma}^{+}$ for the first time using the final states $nbar{n}pi^{+}pi^{-}$. The data sample exploited here is $448.1times10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with BESIII. We find $mathcal{B}(chi_{cJ}rightarrowSigma^{-}bar{Sigma}^{+}) = (51.3pm2.4pm4.1)times10^{-5},, (5.7pm1.4pm0.6)times10^{-5},, rm{and}~ (4.4pm1.7pm0.5)times10^{-5}$, for $J=0,1,2$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.
oindent A search for the decays $B^0_{s}rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-$ and $B^0 rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-$ is performed using data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0ensuremath{{,fb}^{-1}}xspace, collected with the LHCb detector in 2011. The number of candidates observed is consistent with the expected background and, assuming phase-space models of the decays, limits on the branching fractions are set: {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(B^0_{s}rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-) < 1.6 (1.2) times 10^{-8}$} and {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(B^0 rightarrow mu^+ mu^- mu^+ mu^-)< 6.6 (5.3) times 10^{-9}$} at 95,% (90,%) confidence level. In addition, limits are set in the context of a supersymmetric model which allows for the $B^0_{(s)}$ meson to decay into a scalar ($S$) and pseudoscalar particle ($P$), where $S$ and $P$ have masses of 2.5 GeV and 214.3 MeV, respectively, both resonances decay into $mu^+mu^-$. The branching fraction limits for these decays are {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(ensuremath{B^0_{s}rightarrow SP}xspace) < 1.6 (1.2) times 10^{-8}$} and {${ensuremath{cal B}xspace}(ensuremath{B^0rightarrow SP}xspace)< 6.3 (5.1) times 10^{-9}$} at 95% (90%) confidence level.
The products of the electron width of the J/psi meson and the branching fraction of its decays to the lepton pairs were measured using data from the KEDR experiment at the VEPP-4M electron-positron collider. The results are Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->e^+e^-)=(0.3323pm0.0064pm0.0048) keV, Gamma_{ee}(J/psi)*Br(J/psi->mu^+mu^-)=(0.3318pm0.0052pm0.0063) keV. Their combinations Gamma_{ee}times(Gamma_{ee}+Gamma_{mumu})/Gamma=(0.6641pm0.0082pm0.0100) keV, Gamma_{ee}/Gamma_{mumu}=1.002pm0.021pm0.013 can be used to improve theaccuracy of the leptonic and full widths and test leptonic universality. Assuming emu universality and using the world average value of the lepton branching fraction, we also determine the leptonic Gamma_{ll}=5.59pm0.12 keV and total Gamma=94.1pm2.7 keV widths of the J/psi meson.
