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 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.
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.
We study the process $e^{+}e^{-} rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$ using 5.1 $fb^{-1}$ of data collected at 16 center-of-mass energy ($sqrt{s}$) points from 4.008 to 4.600$sim$GeV by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider. The measured Born cross sections for $e^{+}e^{-}rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$ are consistent with previous results, but with much improved precision. A fit to the cross section shows contributions from two structures: the first has $M=4209.5pm7.4pm1.4$$sim$MeV/$c^{2}$ and $Gamma=80.1pm24.6pm2.9$$sim$MeV, and the second has $M=4383.8pm4.2pm0.8$$sim$MeV/c$^{2}$ and $Gamma=84.2pm12.5pm2.1$$sim$MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second systematic. The lower-mass resonance is observed in the process $e^{+}e^{-}rightarrow pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$ for the first time with a statistical significance of $5.8sigma$. A charged charmonium-like structure is observed in the $pi^{pm}psi(3686)$ invariant mass spectrum for data at $sqrt{s} = 4.416~$GeV. A fit with an $S$-wave Breit-Wigner function yields a mass $M=4032.1pm2.4$~$MeV$^{2}$, where the errors are statistical only. However, there are still unresolved discrepancies between the fit model and data. The width of the intermediate state varies in a wide range for different kinematic regions within the data set. Therefore no simple interpretation of the data has been found, and a future data sample with larger statistics and more theoretical input will be required to better understand this issue.
Using $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.2 $fb^{-1}$ at center-of-mass energies ($sqrt{s}$) from 4.009 to 4.600 GeV, the process $e^{+}e^{-} to pi^{0} pi^{0}psi(3686)$ is studied for the first time. The corresponding Born cross sections are measured and found to be half of those of the reaction $e^{+}e^{-} to pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$. This is consistent with the expectation from isospin symmetry. Furthermore, the Dalitz plots for $pi^{0}pi^{0}psi(3686)$ are accordant with those of $pi^{+}pi^{-}psi(3686)$ at all energy points, and a neutral analogue to the structure in $pi^pm psi(3686)$ around 4040 MeV/$c^{2}$ first observed at $sqrt{s}$=4.416 GeV is observed in the isospin neutral mode at the same energy.
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.
