The cross section of the process $e^+e^- rightarrow etaJ/psi$ is measured at center-of-mass energies from $sqrt{s} =$ 4.178 to 4.600 GeV using data samples corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 11 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. The dependence of the cross section on $sqrt{s}$ shows an enhancement around $4.2$ GeV. While the shape of the cross section cannot be fully explained with a single $psi(4160)$ or $psi(4260)$ state, a coherent sum of the two states does provide a reasonable description of the data.
Using data samples with a total integrated luminosity of $20.1~rm fb^{-1}$ collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the cross section of the process $e^+e^- rightarrow pi^+pi^-psi(3686)$ is measured at center-of-mass energies between 4.0076 and 4.6984 GeV. The measured cross section is consistent with previous results, but with much improved precision. A fit to the measured energy-dependent cross section, which includes three Breit-Wigner functions and a non-resonant contribution, confirms the existence of the charmonium-like states $Y(4220)$, $Y(4390)$, and $Y(4660)$. This is the first observation of the $Y(4660)$ at the BESIII experiment.
The cross section of the process $e^+e^- rightarrow omega chi_{c0}$ is measured at center-of-mass energies from $sqrt{s} =$ 4.178 to 4.278 GeV using a data sample of 7 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. The dependence of the cross section on $sqrt{s}$ shows a resonant structure with mass of $(4218.5pm1.6(text{stat.})pm4.0(text{syst.}))$ MeV/$c^2$ and width of $(28.2pm3.9(text{stat.})pm1.6(text{syst.}))$ MeV, respectively. This observation confirms and improves upon the result of a previous study. The angular distribution of the $e^+e^- rightarrow omega chi_{c0}$ process is extracted for the first time.
The cross section of the process $e^{+} e^{-} rightarrow K^{+} K^{-}$ is measured at a number of center-of-mass energies $sqrt{s}$ from 2.00 to 3.08 GeV with the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII). The results provide the best precision achieved so far. A resonant structure around 2.2 GeV is observed in the cross section line shape. A Breit-Wigner fit yields a mass of $M=2239.2 pm 7.1 pm 11.3$~and a width of $Gamma=139.8pm12.3pm20.6$ MeV, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones are systematic. In addition, the time-like electromagnetic form factor of the kaon is determined at the individual center-of-mass energy points.
The cross section for the process $e^+e^- to omegaeta$ is measured in the center-of-mass energy range 1.34--2.00 GeV. The analysis is based on data collected with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The measured $e^+e^- to omegaeta$ cross section is the most accurate to date. A significant discrepancy is observed between our data and previous BABAR measurement.
The process $e^+e^- to pi^+pi^-pi^0eta$ is studied in the center-of-mass energy region below 2 GeV with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. The four intermediate states contribute to this process: $omegaeta$, $phieta$, $a_0(980)rho$, and a structureless $pi^+pi^-pi^0eta$ state. We measure the total $e^+e^- to pi^+pi^-pi^0eta$ cross section and the cross sections for its components: $omegaeta$, $phieta$, and a sum of $a_0(980)rho$ and the structureless state. Our results are in agreement with previous measurements and have comparable or better accuracies.
