Based on a sample of $(1310.6 pm 7.0) times 10^6~J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present measurements of $J/psi$ and $eta^prime$ absolute branching fractions using the process $J/psirightarrowgammaeta^prime$. By analyzing events where the radiative photon converts into an $e^+e^-$ pair, the branching fraction for $J/psi rightarrow gamma eta^prime$ is measured to be $(5.27pm0.03pm0.05)times 10^{-3}$. The absolute branching fractions of the five dominant decay channels of the $eta^prime$ are then measured independently for the first time and are determined to be $mathcal{B}(eta^prime rightarrow gamma pi^{+} pi^{-})$ = (29.90$pm$0.03$pm$0.55)%, $mathcal{B}(eta^prime rightarrow eta pi^{+} pi^{-})$ = (41.24$pm$0.08$pm$1.24)%, $mathcal{B}(eta^prime rightarrow eta pi^{0} pi^{0})$ = (21.36$pm$0.10$pm$0.92)%, $mathcal{B}(eta^prime rightarrow gamma omega)$ = (2.489$pm$0.018$pm$0.074)%, and $mathcal{B}(eta^prime rightarrow gamma gamma)$ = (2.331$pm$0.012$pm$0.035)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.
By analyzing a data sample of 2.93 fb$^{-1}$ collected at $sqrt s=$ 3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII storage rings, we measure the branching fractions ${mathcal B}(D^0toomegaeta)=(2.15pm0.17_{rm stat.}pm0.15_{rm sys.})times 10^{-3}$, ${mathcal B}(D^0toetapi^0)=(0.58pm0.05_{rm stat.}pm0.05_{rm sys.})times 10^{-3}$, ${mathcal B}(D^0toeta^primepi^0)=(0.93pm0.11_{rm stat.}pm0.09_{rm sys.})times 10^{-3}$, ${mathcal B}(D^0toetaeta)=(2.20pm0.07_{rm stat.}pm0.06_{rm sys.})times 10^{-3}$ and ${mathcal B}(D^0toeta^primeeta)=(0.94pm0.25_{rm stat.}pm0.11_{rm sys.})times 10^{-3}$. We note that ${mathcal B}(D^0to omegaeta)$ is measured for the first time and that ${mathcal B}(D^0to etaeta)$ is measured with much improved precision.
The relative branching fractions of $B^+ to h^+h^{prime +}h^{prime -}$ decays, where $h^{(prime)}$ is a pion or kaon, are measured. The analysis is performed with a data sample, collected with the LHCb detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $3.0 {rm fb}^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions. The results obtained improve significantly on previous measurements of these quantities, and are important for the interpretation of Dalitz plot analyses of three-body charmless hadronic decays of $B^+$ mesons.
Using 482 pb$^{-1}$ of data taken at $sqrt{s}=4.009$ GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of $D^{*0}$ into $D^0pi^0$ and $D^0gamma$ to be $BR(D^{*0} to D^0pi^0)=(65.5pm 0.8pm 0.5)%$ and $BR(D^{*0} to D^0gamma)=(34.5pm 0.8pm 0.5)%$ respectively, by assuming that the $D^{*0}$ decays only into these two modes. The ratio of the two branching fractions is $BR(D^{*0} to D^0pi^0)/BR(D^{*0} to D^0gamma) =1.90pm 0.07pm 0.05$, which is independent of the assumption made above. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The precision is improved by a factor of three compared to the present world average values.
Using a sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a study of the decay $psi(3686) rightarrow phi pi^{+}pi^{-}eta$. The branching fraction of $psi(3686)rightarrowphieta^prime$ is determined to be $(1.51pm0.16pm0.12)times 10^{-5}$, which is consistent with the previous measurement but with significantly improved precision. The resonances $f_{1}(1285)$ and $eta(1405)$ are clearly observed in the $pi^{+}pi^{-}eta$ mass spectrum with statistical significances of $18sigma$ and $9.7sigma$, respectively. The corresponding product branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(psi(3686)rightarrowphi f_{1}(1285),f_{1}(1285)rightarrowpi^{+}pi^{-}eta) =(1.03pm0.10pm0.09)times 10^{-5}$ and $mathcal{B}(psi(3686)rightarrowphieta(1405),eta(1405)rightarrowpi^{+}pi^{-}eta) =(8.46pm1.37pm0.92)times 10^{-6}$.
We report measurements of branching fractions for charged and neutral $Bto eta_c K$ decays where the $eta_c$ meson is reconstructed in the $K_S^0 K^{pm}pi^{mp}, K^+ K^- pi^0, K^{*0} K^-pi^+$ and $p bar{p}$ decay channels. The neutral $B^0$ channel is a CP eigenstate and can be used to measure the CP violation parameter $sin 2phi_1$. We also report the first observation of the $B^0to eta_c K^{*0}$ mode. The results are based on an analysis of 29.1 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB.
