The BESIII experiment in Beijing takes data in $tau$-charm domain since 2009. For the moment the world largest samples of $J/psi$, $psi(3686)$, $psi(3770)$ and $psi(4040)$ data have been collected. Hadron spectroscopy is a unique way to access QCD, w
hich is one of the most important physics goals of BESIII. Experimental search of new forms of hadrons and subsequent investigation of their properties would provide validation of and valuable input to the quantitative understanding of QCD. The key to success lies in high levels of precision during the measurement and high statistics in the recorded data set complemented with sophisticated analysis methods. Partial wave analysis (PWA) is a powerful tool to study the hadron spectroscopy, that allows one to extract the resonances spin-parity, mass, width and decay properties with high sensitivity and accuracy. In this poster, we present the working PWA framework of BESIII -- GPUPWA and the recent results of PWA of $J/psitogammaetaeta$. GPUPWA is a PWA framework for high statistics partial wave analyses harnessing the GPU parallel computing.
Background treatment is crucial to extract physics from precision experiments. In this paper, we introduce a novel method to assign each event a signal probability. This could then be used to weight the events contribution to the likelihood during fi
tting. To illustrate the effect of this method, we test it with MC samples. The consistence between the constructed background and the background from MC truth shows that the background subtraction method with probabilistic event weights is feasible in partial wave analysis at BES III.
Recent BES results on light scalars are reported in this talk, including the observation of a charged kappa decaying to K pi0 with 5.8 * 10^7 J/psi data at BES II and the direct measurements of a0(980)-f0(980) mixing in the processes J/psi --> phi f0
(980) --> phi a0(980) --> phi eta pi0 and chi_c1 --> pi0 a0(980) --> pi0 f0(980) --> pi0 pi+ pi- with 2.26 * 10^8 J/psi data and 1.06 * 10^8 psi data at BES III.
