A key motivation for the two-photon physics program of the BESIII collaboration is the need of high precision data on electromagnetic transition form factors as input to the calculations of the ...contribution of hadronic Light-by-light scattering to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The data collected with the BESIII detector allow to study the momentum dependence of the form factors at small momentum transfers, which is of special relevance for

Exclusive and kinematically complete high-statistics measurements of quasifree polarized np scattering have been performed in the energy region of the narrow resonancelike structure d* with I(JP) = ...0(3 super(+)), M approximately 2380 MeV, and Gamma approximately 70 MeV observed recently in the double-pionic fusion channels pn arrow right dpi super(0)pi super(0) and pn arrow right dpi super(+)pi super(-). The experiment was carried out with the WASA detector setup at COSY having a polarized deuteron beam impinged on the hydrogen pellet target and utilizing the quasifree process dp arrow right np + p sub(spectator). This allowed the np analyzing power, A sub(y) to be measured over a broad angular range. The obtained A sub(y)angular distributions deviate systematically from the current SAID SP07 NN partial-wave solution. Incorporating the new A sub(y)data into the SAID analysis produces a pole in the super(3)D sub(3) - super(3)G sub(3) waves in support of the d* resonance hypothesis.
The existence of a light dark force mediator has been tested with the KLOE detector at DAΦNE. This particle, called U, is searched for using the decay chain ϕ→ηU, η→π+π−π0, U→e+e−. No evidence is ...found in 1.5 fb−1 of data. The resulting exclusion plot covers the mass range 5<MU<470 MeV, setting an upper limit on the ratio between the U boson coupling constant and the fine structure constant, α′/α, of ⩽2×10−5 at 90% C.L. for 50<MU<420 MeV.
Measurements of hadronic cross sections in e+e- collisions are an important input for the Standard Model calculations of the hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, (g - ...2)μ. We present a new measurement of the cross section e+e- → π+π-, the pion form factor, which dominates the hadronic contribution. Using the method of initial state radiation, 2.93 fb-1 of data taken with the BESIII detector at the ψ (3770) peak have been evaluated to determine the cross section in the energy range between 600 and 900 MeV with a systematic uncertainty of 0.9%. The new BESIII data are compared to previous measurements by KLOE and BaBar, and their impact on (g - 2)μ is discussed.
There is a long standing discrepancy of 3 – 4 standard deviations between the direct measurement and the Standard Model prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g – 2)μ. While new ...direct measurements have been proposed to clarify the situation, theory calculations are completely limited by the accuracy of the hadronic contributions to (g – 2)μ. In order to increase their precision, experimental information can be used as input. In this presentation we will discuss recent and future measurements of relevant hadronic cross sections and transition form factors.
Studies of light pseudoscalar mesons are an important aspect of the physics program pursued at BESIII. In this presentation recent results from eta and eta' decays and the current status of the gamma ...gamma physics program will be discussed.
The existence of a light dark force mediator has been tested with the KLOE detector at DA Phi NE. This particle, called U. is searched for using the decay chain phi -> eta U, eta -> ...pi(+)pi(-)pi(0), U -> e(+)e(-). No evidence is found in 1.5 fb(-1) of data. The resulting exclusion plot covers the mass range 5 < M-U < 470 MeV, setting an upper limit on the ratio between the U boson coupling constant and the One structure constant, alpha'/alpha, of <= 2 x 10(-5) at 90% C.L. for 50 < M-U < 420 MeV.
We present a new limit on the production of a light dark-force mediator with the KLOE detector at DAΦNE. This boson, called U, has been searched for in the decay ϕ→ηU, U→e+e−, analyzing the decay ...η→π0π0π0 in a data sample of 1.7 fb−1. No structures are observed in the e+e− invariant mass distribution over the background. This search is combined with a previous result obtained from the decay η→π+π−π0, increasing the sensitivity. We set an upper limit at 90% C.L. on the ratio between the U boson coupling constant and the fine structure constant of α′/α<1.7×10−5 for 30<MU<400 MeV and α′/α⩽8×10−6 for the sub-region 50<MU<210 MeV. This result assumes the Vector Meson Dominance expectations for the ϕηγ⁎ transition form factor. The dependence of this limit on the transition form factor has also been studied.
