We report the first observation of the Dalitz decay $eta to gamma e^+e^-$, based on a data sample of 1.31 billion $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The $eta$ mesons are produced via the $J/psi to gamma eta$ decay process. The ratio $Gamma(eta to gamma e^+ e^-)/Gamma(etatogammagamma)$ is measured to be $(2.13pm0.09(text{stat.})pm0.07(text{sys.}))times10^{-2}$. This corresponds to a branching fraction ${cal B}(eta to gamma e^+e^-)= (4.69 pm0.20(text{stat.})pm0.23(text{sys.}))times10^{-4}$. The transition form factor is extracted and different expressions are compared to the measured dependence on the $e^+e^-$ invariant mass. The results are consistent with the prediction of the Vector Meson Dominance model.

We study the electromagnetic Dalitz decay $J/psi to e^+e^- eta$ and search for di-electron decays of a dark gauge boson ($gamma$) in $J/psi to gamma eta$ with the two $eta$ decay modes $eta rightarrow gamma gamma$ and $eta rightarrow pi^+pi^-pi^0$ us ing $(1310.6pm 7.0)times10^6$ $J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The branching fraction of $J/psi to e^+e^- eta$ is measured to be $(1.43 pm 0.04 ({rm stat}) pm 0.06 ({rm syst}))times 10^{-5}$, with a precision that is improved by a factor of $1.5$ over the previous BESIII measurement. The corresponding di-electron invariant mass dependent modulus square of the transition form factor is explored for the first time, and the pole mass is determined to be $Lambda = 2.84 pm 0.11({rm stat}) pm 0.08({rm syst})$ GeV/$c^2$. We find no evidence of $gamma$ production and set $90%$ confidence level upper limits on the product branching fraction $mathcal{B}(J/psi to gamma eta)times mathcal{B}(gamma to e^+e^-)$ as well as the kinetic mixing strength between the Standard Model photon and $gamma$ in the mass range of $0.01 le m_{gamma} le 2.4$ GeV/$c^2$.
Using 586 $textrm{pb}^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ collision data acquired at $sqrt{s}=4.170$ GeV with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we report the first observation of $D_{s}^{*+} to D_{s}^{+} e^{+} e^{-}$ with a significance of $5.3 sigma$. The ratio of branching fractions $calB(D_{s}^{*+} to D_{s}^{+} e^{+} e^{-}) / calB(D_{s}^{*+} to D_{s}^{+} gamma)$ is measured to be $[ 0.72^{+0.15}_{-0.13} (textrm{stat}) pm 0.10 (textrm{syst})]%$, which is consistent with theoretical expectations.
We have studied the vector to pseudoscalar conversion decay phi -> eta e+e-, with eta -> pi0pi0pi0, with the KLOE detector at DAPHNE. The data set of 1.7 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at sqrt(s)~Mphi contains a clear conversion decay signal of ~31,000 even ts from which we measured a value of BR(phi -> eta e+e-)=(1.075+-0.007+-0.038)x10-4. The same sample is used to determine the transition form factor by a fit to the e+e- invariant mass spectrum, obtaining b(phi eta) =(1.17 +- 0.10 + 0.07) GeV-2, that improves by a factor of five the precision of the previous measurement and is in good agreement with VMD expectations.
We report the first observation of the rare eta->e+e-e+e- decay based on 1.7 fb^{-1} collected by the KLOE experiment at the DAFNE phi-factory. The selection of the e+e-e+e- final state is fully inclusive of radiation. We have identified 362 +- 29 ev ents resulting in a branching ratio of (2.4 +- 0.2_stat+bckg +- 0.1_syst) x 10^{-5}.
Using a data sample of $448.1 times 10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we report the first observation of the electromagnetic Dalitz decay $psi(3686) to eta e^+ e^-$, with significances of 7.0$sigma$ a nd 6.3$sigma$ when reconstructing the $eta$ meson via its decay modes $etatogamma pi^+ pi^-$ and $etatopi^+pi^-eta$ ($eta to gammagamma$), respectively. The weighted average branching fraction is determined to be $mathcal{B}(psi(3686) to eta e^+ e^-)= (1.90 pm 0.25 pm 0.11) times 10^{-6}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic.
