Using a data sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected at $sqrt{s}=$ 3.686 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, we search for the rare decay $J/psi to phi e^+ e^-$ via $psi(3686) to pi^+pi^- J/psi $. No signal events are observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi to phi e^+ e^-) < 1.2 times 10^{-7}$ at the 90% confidence level, which is still about one order of magnitude higher than the Standard Model prediction.
Using the data samples of $(1310.6pm7.2 )times 10^{6}$ $J/psi$ events and $(448.1pm2.9)times 10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare decays $J/psi to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.$ and $psi(3686) to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.$. No significant signals are observed and the corresponding upper limits on the branching fractions at the $90%$ confidence level are determined to be $Br(J/psi to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.)< 8.5times 10^{-8}$ and $Br (psi(3686) to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.)<1.4times 10^{-7}$, respectively. Our limit on $Br(J/psi to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.)$ is more stringent by two orders of magnitude than the previous results, and the $Br(psi(3686) to D^{0} e^{+}e^{-} +c.c.)$ is measured for the first time.
A search for the rare decay $B^0 rightarrow J/psi phi$ is performed using $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 ${rm fb}^{-1}$. No significan
t signal of the decay is observed and an upper limit of $1.1 times 10^{-7}$ at 90% confidence level is set on the branching fraction.
Using $10.1times10^{9}$ $J/psi$ events produced by the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) at a center-of-mass energy $sqrt{s}=3.097~rm{GeV}$ and collected with the BESIII detector, we present a search for the rare semi-leptonic decay $J/psito D^{-}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.$. No excess of signal above background is observed, and an upper limit on the branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psito D^{-}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.)<7.1times10^{-8}$ is obtained at $90%$ confidence level. This is an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude over the previous best limit.
Using a sample of $2.25times 10^8$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the $J/psi$ semi-leptonic weak decay $J/psi to D^{-}_{s} e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.$ with a much higher sensitivity than previous searches. We also perform the first search for $J/psi to D^{*-}_{s} e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.$ No significant excess of a signal above background is observed in either channel. At the $90%$ confidence level, the upper limits are determined to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi to D^{-}_{s}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.)<1.3times10^{-6}$ and $mathcal{B}(J/psi to {D^{*}_{s}}^{-}e^{+} u_{e}+c.c.)<1.8times10^{-6}$, respectively. Both are consistent with Standard Model predictions.
We study the electromagnetic Dalitz decay $J/psi to e^+e^- eta$ and search for di-electron decays of a dark gauge boson ($gamma$) in $J/psi to gamma eta$ with the two $eta$ decay modes $eta rightarrow gamma gamma$ and $eta rightarrow pi^+pi^-pi^0$ using $(1310.6pm 7.0)times10^6$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The branching fraction of $J/psi to e^+e^- eta$ is measured to be $(1.43 pm 0.04 ({rm stat}) pm 0.06 ({rm syst}))times 10^{-5}$, with a precision that is improved by a factor of $1.5$ over the previous BESIII measurement. The corresponding di-electron invariant mass dependent modulus square of the transition form factor is explored for the first time, and the pole mass is determined to be $Lambda = 2.84 pm 0.11({rm stat}) pm 0.08({rm syst})$ GeV/$c^2$. We find no evidence of $gamma$ production and set $90%$ confidence level upper limits on the product branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psi to gamma eta)times mathcal{B}(gamma to e^+e^-)$ as well as the kinetic mixing strength between the Standard Model photon and $gamma$ in the mass range of $0.01 le m_{gamma} le 2.4$ GeV/$c^2$.
