The number of J/ψ events taken in 2009 is recalculated to be（223.7±1.4）×10^6, which is in good agreement with the previous measurement, but with significantly improved precision due to improvements in the BESⅢ software. The number of J/ψ events taken in 2012 is determined to be（1086.9±6.0）×10^6. In total, the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESⅢ detector is measured to be（1310.6±7.0）×10^6, where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.展开更多

Though the dp and η/ηt states have long been established experimentally, only a handful of strangeonia are well known, in contrast to the rich cc charmoium system. An overview of the ss states and their experimental status is presented in this paper. The BESⅢ experiment has collected the world＇s largest samples of J/ψ, ψ（2S）, ψ（3770）, and direct e＋e- annihilations at energies below the J/O and above 3.8 GeV, and will continue to accumulate high quality, large integrated luminosity in the T-charm energy region. These data, combined with the excellent performance of the BESⅢ detector, will offer unprecedented opportunities to explore the ss system. In this paper we describe the experimental techniques to explore strangeonia with the BESⅢ detector.展开更多

This paper describes a series of event generators, including η/η＇→γl~＋l^-, η/η＇→γπ~＋π^-, η＇→ωe~＋e^-, η→π~＋π^-π~0, η/η＇→π~0π~0π~0, η＇→ηππ andη＇→π~＋π^-π~＋π^-/π~＋π^-π~0π~0, which have been developed for investigating η/ηdecay dynamics. For most of these generators, their usability has been validated in BESIII analyses for determining the detection efficiency, and background studies. The consistency between data and Monte Carlo shows that these generators work well in the BESⅢ simulation, and will also be useful for ongoing BESⅢ analyses and other experiments for studying η/η＇ physics.
