A partial wave analysis (PWA) of the $pi^- pi^- pi^+$ and $pi^- pi^0 pi^0$ systems produced in the reaction $pi^- p to (3pi)^-p$ at 18 GeV/$c$ was carried out using an emph{isobar} model assumption. This analysis is based on 3.0M $pi^- pi^0 pi^0$ events and 2.6M $pi^- pi^-pi^+$ events and shows production of the $a_1(1260)$, $a_2(1320)$, $pi_2(1670)$ and $a_4(2040)$ resonances. Results of detailed studies of the stability of partial wave fits are presented. An earlier analysis of 250K $pi^- pi^- pi^+$ events from the same experiment showed possible evidence for a $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ exotic meson with a mass of $sim$1.6 GeV/$c^2$ decaying into $rho pi$. In this analysis of a higher statistics sample of the $(3pi)^-$ system in two charged modes we find no evidence of an exotic meson.
Based on a sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a search for the rare decay $etarightarrow 4pi^{0}$ via $J/psirightarrowgammaeta$. No significant $eta$ signal is observed in the invariant mass spectrum of 4$pi^{0}$. With a Bayesian approach, the upper limit on the branching fraction of $etarightarrow 4pi^{0}$ is determined to be $mathcal{B}(etarightarrow 4pi^{0})$ $< 4.94times10^{-5}$ at the 90% confidence level, which is a factor of six smaller than the previous experimental limit.
Using a sample of $1.3times 10^9$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we report the first observation of $eta^{prime}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ and $eta^{prime}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$. The measured branching fractions are $mathcal{B}$($eta^{prime}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{+}pi^{-}$) = $(8.53pm0.69({rm stat.})pm0.64({rm syst.}))times10^{-5}$ and $mathcal{B}$($eta^{prime}topi^{+}pi^{-}pi^{0}pi^{0}$) = $(1.82pm0.35({rm stat.})pm0.18({rm syst.}))times10^{-4}$, which are consistent with theoretical predictions based on a combination of chiral perturbation theory and vector-meson dominance.
Using a data sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.93 $fb^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector at a center-of-mass energy of $sqrt{s}= 3.773~GeV$,we search for the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decays $D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}$, $pi^{0}pi^{0}eta$, $pi^{0}etaeta$ and $etaetaeta$ using the double tag method. The absolute branching fractions are measured to be $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}pi^{0}) = (2.0 pm 0.4 pm 0.3)times 10^{-4}$, $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}pi^{0}eta) = (3.8 pm 1.1 pm 0.7)times 10^{-4}$ and $mathcal{B}(D^{0}topi^{0}etaeta) = (7.3 pm 1.6 pm 1.5)times 10^{-4}$ with the statistical significances of $4.8sigma$, $3.8sigma$ and $5.5sigma$, respectively, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. No significant signal of $D^{0}toetaetaeta$ is found, and the upper limit on its decay branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(D^{0}toetaetaeta) < 1.3 times 10^{-4}$ at the $90%$ confidence level.
We report measurements of the observed cross sections for $e^+e^-toomega pi^+pi^-$, $omega K^+K^-$, $omega pbar p$, $K^+K^-rho^0pi^0$, $K^+K^-rho^+pi^-+c.c.$, $K^{*0}K^-pi^+pi^0+c.c.$, $K^{*+}K^-pi^+pi^-+c.c.$, $phipi^+pi^-pi^0$ and $Lambda bar Lambda pi^0$ at $sqrt s=$ 3.773 and 3.650 GeV. Upper limits (90% C.L.) are given for observed cross sections and for $psi(3770)$ decay branching fractions for production of these final states. These measurements are made by analyzing the data sets of 17.3 pb$^{-1}$ collected at $sqrt{s}=3.773$ GeV and 6.5 pb$^{-1}$ collected at $sqrt{s}=3.650$ GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC collider.
We present an amplitude analysis of the decay $D^{0} rightarrow K^{-} pi^{+} pi^{+} pi^{-}$ based on a data sample of 2.93 ${mbox{,fb}^{-1}}$ acquired by the BESIII detector at the $psi(3770)$ resonance. With a nearly background free sample of about 16000 events, we investigate the substructure of the decay and determine the relative fractions and the phases among the different intermediate processes. Our amplitude model includes the two-body decays $D^{0} rightarrow bar{K}^{*0}rho^{0}$, $D^{0} rightarrow K^{-}a_{1}^{+}(1260)$ and $D^{0} rightarrow K_{1}^{-}(1270)pi^{+}$, the three-body decays $D^{0} rightarrow bar{K}^{*0}pi^{+}pi^{-}$ and $D^{0} rightarrow K^{-}pi^{+}rho^{0}$, as well as the four-body decay $D^{0} rightarrow K^{-}pi^{+}pi^{+}pi^{-}$. The dominant intermediate process is $D^{0} rightarrow K^{-}a_{1}^{+}(1260)$, accounting for a fit fraction of $54.6%$.
