Using a sample of ( 2712.4 ± 14.3 ) × 10 6     ψ ( 3686 ) events collected with the BESIII detector, we perform a search for the isospin-violating decays χ c J → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . ( J = 0 , 1 , 2 ) and η c → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . No significant signal for χ c J or η c is observed in the Λ Σ ¯   0 invariant mass distribution. The upper limits on the branching fractions at the 90% confidencemore » level are set to be B ( χ c 0 → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . ) < 1.5 × 10 − 6 , B ( χ c 1 → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . ) < 1.6 × 10 − 6 , B ( χ c 2 → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . ) < 1.7 × 10 − 6 , and B ( η c → Λ Σ ¯   0 + c . c . ) < 6.2 × 10 − 5 for the first time.« less

The first direct measurement of the relative phase between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes for a J/ψ decaying into a vector-pseudoscalar final state is performed using 26 energy points of e⁺e⁻ annihilation data between 3.00 GeV and 3.12 GeV. The data sets were collected by the BESIII detector with a total integrated luminosity of 452 pb⁻¹. By investigating the interference pattern in the cross section lineshape of e⁺e⁻ → ϕη, the relative phase between the strong and electromagnetic amplitudes of J/ψ decay is determined to be within [133°, 228°] at 68% confidence level.

The processes e⁺⁢e^- →Σ⁰⁢$$\overline{Σ}$$⁰ and e⁺⁢e^- →Σ⁺⁢$$\overline{Σ}$$^- are studied using initial-state-radiation events in a sample of 980 fb^-1 collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e⁺⁢e^- collider. The cross sections from the mass threshold to 3 GeV/c² and the effective form factors of Σ⁰ and Σ⁺ are measured. In the charmonium region, we observe the decays J/ψ →Σ⁰⁢$$\overline{Σ}$$⁰and J/ψ →Σ⁺⁢$$\overline{Σ}$$^- and determine the respective branching fractions.
