Study ofJ/ψ→pp¯andJ/ψ→nn¯
2012
The decays J/psi -> p (p) over bar and J/psi -> n (n) over bar have been investigated with a sample of 225.2 x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider. The branching fractions are determined to be B(J/psi -> p (p) over bar) = (2.112 +/- 0.004 +/- 0.031 x 10(-3) and B(J/psi -> n (n) over bar) =(2.07 +/- 0.01 +/- 0.17) x 10(-3). Distributions of the angle theta between the proton or antineutron and the beam direction are well described by the form 1 + alpha cos(2)theta, and we find alpha = 0.595 +/- 0.012 +/- 0.015 for J/psi -> p (p) over bar and alpha = 0.50 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.21 for J/psi -> n (n) over bar. Our branching- fraction results suggest a …
Superconductor-Diamond Hybrid Quantum System
2016
This chapter describes recent progress on research into superconducting flux qubit, NV diamond, and superconductor-diamond hybrid quantum systems. First, we describe important physical properties of superconducting macroscopic artificial atoms i.e., the tunability of the qubit energy level spacing, the coherence property, an example of strong coupling to another quantum system such as an LC harmonic oscillator, and qubit state readout through a Josephson bifurcation amplifier. We then introduce the NV center in diamond as an intriguing candidate for quantum information processing, which offers excellent multiple accessibility via visible light, microwaves and magnetic fields. Finally, we de…
Two-photon widths of theχc0,2states and helicity analysis forχc2→γγ
2012
Based on a data sample of 106 X 10(6) psi' events collected with the BESIII detector, the decays psi' -> gamma chi(c0,2), chi(c0,2) -> gamma gamma are studied to determine the two-photon widths of the chi(c0,2) states. The two-photon decay branching fractions are determined to be B(chi(c0) -> gamma gamma) = (2.24 +/- 0.19 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.08) X 10(-4) and B(chi(c2) -> gamma gamma) = (3.21 +/- 0.18 +/- 0.17 +/- 0.13) X 10(-4) From these, the two-photon widths are determined to be Gamma(gamma gamma)(chi(c0)) = (2.33 +/- 0.20 +/- 0.13 +/- 0.17) keV, Gamma(gamma gamma)(chi(c2)) = (0.63 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.04) keV, and R = Gamma(gamma gamma)(chi(c2))/Gamma(gamma gamma)(chi(c0)) = 0.271 +/- 0.0…
First observation of the isospin violating decayJ/ψ→ΛΣ¯0+c.c.
2012
Using a sample of (225.2 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi events collected with the BESIII detector, we present results of a study of J/psi -> gamma Lambda(Lambda) over bar and report the first observation of the isospin violating decay J/psi -> Lambda(Sigma) over bar (0) + c.c., in which (Sigma) over bar (0) decays to gamma (Lambda) over bar. The measured branching fractions are B(J/psi -> (Lambda) over bar Sigma(0)) = (1.46 +/- 0.11 +/- 0.12) x 10(-5) and B(J/psi -> Lambda(Sigma) over bar (0)) = (1.37 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.11) x 10(-5). We search for Lambda(1520) -> gamma Lambda decay, and find no evident signal, and an upper limit for the product branching fraction B(J/psi -> Lambda(Lambda) over bar (152…
Observation ofe+e−→ηJ/ψat center-of-mass energys=4.009 GeV
2012
Using a 478 pb(-1) data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider storage ring at a center-of-mass energy of root s = 4.009 GeV, the production of e(+)e(-) -> eta J/psi is observed for the first time with a statistical significance of greater than 10 sigma. The Born cross section is measured to be (32.1 +/- 2.8 +/- 1.3) pb, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic. Assuming the eta J/psi signal is from a hadronic transition of the psi(4040), the fractional transition rate is determined to be B(psi(4040) -> eta J/psi) = (5.2 +/- 0.5 +/- 0.2 +/- 0.5) x 10(-3), where the first, second, and third errors are statistical, s…
Observation of Two NewN*Resonances in the Decayψ(3686)→pp¯π0
2013
Based on 106 x 10(6)psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII facility, a partial wave analysis of psi(3686) -> p (p) over bar pi(0) is performed. The branching fraction of this channel has been determined to be B psi(3686) -> p (p) over bar pi(0) = (1.65 +/- 0.03 +/- 0.15) x 10(-4). In this decay, 7 N* intermediate resonances are observed. Among these, two new resonances, N(2300) and N(2570) are significant, one 1/2(+) resonance with a mass of 2300(-30-0)(+40+109) MeV/c(2) and width of 340(-30-58)(+30+110) MeV/c(2), and one 5/2(-) resonance with a mass of 2570(-10-10)(+19+34) MeV/c(2) and width of 250(-24-21)(+14+69) MeV/c(.)(2) For the remaining 5 N* intermediate r…
Search for hadronic transitionχcJ→ηcπ+π−and observation ofχcJ→KK¯πππ
2013
Hadronic transitions of chi(cJ) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-) (J = 0, 1, 2) are searched for using a sample of 1.06 x 10(8) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The eta(c) is reconstructed with (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) and K+K-pi(0) final states. No signals are observed in any of the three chi(cJ) states in either eta(c) decay mode. At the 90% confidence level, the upper limits are determined to be B(chi(c0) -> eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) eta(c)pi(+)pi(-)) is lower than the existing theoretical prediction by almost an order of magnitude. The branching fractions of chi(cJ) -> (KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+)pi(+)pi(-), K+K-pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), omega K…
Evidence forηc→γγand measurement ofJ/ψ→3γ
2013
The decay of J/psi to three photons is studied using psi (3686) -> pi(+) pi(-) J/psi in a sample of 1.0641 X 10(8) psi (3686) events collected with the BESIII detector. Evidence of the direct decay of eta(c) to two photons, eta(c) -> gamma gamma, is reported, and the product branching fraction is determined to be B(J/psi -> gamma eta(c,) eta(c) -> gamma gamma = (4.5 +/- 1.2 +/- 0.6) X 10(-6), where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic. The branching fraction for J/psi -> 3 gamma is measured to be (11.3 +/- 1.8 +/- 2.0) X 10(-6) with improved precision. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.032003
Search for a light exotic particle inJ/ψradiative decays
2012
Using a data sample containing 1.06x10^8 psi' events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII electron-positron collider, we search for a light exotic particle X in the process psi' -> pi^+ pi^- J/psi, J/psi -> gamma X, X -> mu^+ mu^-. This light particle X could be a Higgs-like boson A^0, a spin-1 U boson, or a pseudoscalar sgoldstino particle. In this analysis, we find no evidence for any mu^+mu^- mass peak between the mass threshold and 3.0 GeV/c^2. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the product-branching fractions for J/psi -> gamma A^0, A^0 -> mu^+ mu^- which range from 4x10^{-7} to 2.1x10^{-5}, depending on the mass of A^0, for M(A^0)<3.0 GeV/c^2.
