Trigger efficiencies at BESⅢ

Trigger efficiencies at BESⅢ were determined for both the J/ψ and ψ' data taking of 2009. Both dedicated runs and physics datasets are used; efficiencies are presented for Bhabha-scattering events, generic hadronic decay events involving charged tracks, dimuon events and ψ'→π+π-J/ψ, J/ψ→ 1+1- events.The efficiencies are found to lie well above 99% for all relevant physics cases, thus fulfilling the BESⅢ design specifications.     

Recent BES results on hadron spectroscopy

Light hadron spectroscopy is a powerful tool in hadronic physics.Several recent BES results on hadron spectroscopy are reported in this proceeding,including the confirmation of the enhancement in pp invariant mass in radiative J/ψ decays,the observation of a charged κ ± decaying to K ± π 0 and the measurement of exclusive decays of the χ c0 and χ c2 to π ^0 π^ 0 and ηη.     

Kinematics of τ two-body decay near τ threshold at BESⅢ

The kinematic properties of two-body decay near τ threshold are studied according to the special capacity of the BEPC accelerator and the BESⅢ detector.Explicitly presented are the transformations of energy and momentum of hadronic particles between different reference frames,and the corresponding distributions.A brand new method is proposed to obtain the energy spread of the accelerator by fitting the energy distribution of hadron from τ semi-leptonic decays.     

Prospects on Determining Electric Dipole Moments of ∑ and Hyperons at BESⅢ

The electric dipole moment of ∑（or ） hyperon, d∑ （or d ）, can be detected by analyzing the angular distribution in the decay process of J/φ → ∑^0^-∑^0（ ）. The dependence of d∑ （or d ） on the free parameters describing the angular distribution is studied in detail with a Monte Carlo simulation based on 10^9 J/φ events expected in one year data taking at BESⅢ. The result shows that an expected upper limit with 10^-16 ,- 10^-18 ecru on d∑ （or d ） can be achieved depending on the true values of free parameters.     

Recent results on hadron spectroscopy from BES

The BES-Ⅲ Detector is a very versatile multipurpose device located at the Institute of High Energy Physics （IHEP） in Beijing, China. Concerning the physics program it ties stringently up to the past BES and BES-Ⅱ experiments. Since start of the data taking in the middle of 2008 the accumulated dataset of 200.10^6 J/ψ events and 100.10^6 ψ＇ events already exceeds the world data on these resonances. In addition to studies of the charmonium systems the data offers great opportunity for investigations in the light hadron sector. In detail it will be reported about the confirmation of the enhancement in pp invariant mass in radiative J/ψ decays, the search for decays Y（2175） → K＊0K＊0, observation of a charged K^± in K^±π^0 and observation of a new excited baryon N＊（2065） decaying to pπ^0 and charged onjugate. The first result is based on data taken by BES-Ⅱ and BES-Ⅲ, the latter three on data collected by BES-Ⅱ only.

It is proved that the Pluto event generator satisfies the requirements of Monte Carlo simulation for HPLUS.

Study of low momentum track reconstruction for the BESⅢ main drift chamber

In order to overcome the difficulty brought by the circling charged tracks with transverse momentum less than 120 MeV in the BESⅢ Main Drift Chamber （MDC）, a specialized method called TCurlFinder was developed. This tracking method focuses on the charged track reconstruction under 120 MeV and possesses a special mechanism to reject background noise hits. The performance of the package has been carefully checked and tuned by both Monte Carlo data and real data. The study shows that this tracking method could obviously enhance the reconstruction efficiency in the low transverse momentum region, providing physics analysis with more and reliable data.
