Based on 10 billion J/psi events collected at the BESIII experiment, a search for CP violation in Lambda decay is performed in the difference between CP-odd decay parameters alpha_ for Lambda -> p ...pi(-) and alpha(+) for (Lambda) over bar -> (p) over bar pi(+) by using the process e(+)e(-) -> J/psi -> Lambda(Lambda) over bar. With a five-dimensional fit to the full angular distributions of the daughter baryon, the most precise values for the decay parameters arc determined to be a_ = 0.7519 +/- 0.0036 +/- 0.0024 and alpha(+) = -0.7559 +/- 0.0036 +/- 0.0030, respectively. The Lambda and (Lambda) over bar averaged value of the decay parameter is extracted to be a(avg) = 0.7542 +/- 0.0010 +/- 0.0024 with unprecedented accuracy. The CP asymmetry A(CP) = (alpha_ + alpha(+))/(a_-alpha(+)) is determined to be -0.0025 +/- 0.0046 +/- 0.0012, which is one of the most precise measurements in the baryon sector. The reported results for the decay parameter will play an important role in the studies of the polarizations and CP violations for the strange, charmed and beauty baryons.
The process e^{+}e^{-}→D_{s}^{*+}D_{s}^{*-} is studied with a semi-inclusive method using data samples at center-of-mass energies from threshold to 4.95 GeV collected with the BESIII detector ...operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross sections of the process are measured for the first time with high precision in this energy region. Two resonance structures are observed in the energy-dependent cross sections around 4.2 and 4.4 GeV. By fitting the cross sections with a coherent sum of three Breit-Wigner amplitudes and one phase-space amplitude, the two significant structures are assigned masses of (4186.8±8.7±30) and (4414.6±3.4±6.1) MeV/c^{2}, widths of (55±15±53) and (122.5±7.5±8.1) MeV, where the first errors are statistical and the second ones are systematic. The inclusion of a third Breit-Wigner amplitude is necessary to describe a structure around 4.79 GeV.
We study the process e^{+}e^{-}→Λ_{c}^{+}Λover ¯_{c}^{-} at twelve center-of-mass energies from 4.6119 to 4.9509 GeV using data samples collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The ...Born cross sections and effective form factors (|G_{eff}|) are determined with unprecedented precision after combining the single and double-tag methods based on the decay process Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+}. Flat cross sections around 4.63 GeV are obtained and no indication of the resonant structure Y(4630), as reported by Belle, is found. In addition, no oscillatory behavior is discerned in the |G_{eff}| energy dependence of Λ_{c}^{+}, in contrast to what is seen for the proton and neutron cases. Analyzing the cross section together with the polar-angle distribution of the Λ_{c}^{+} baryon at each energy point, the moduli of electric and magnetic form factors (|G_{E}| and |G_{M}|) are extracted and separated. For the first time, the energy dependence of the form factor ratio |G_{E}/G_{M}| is observed, which can be well described by an oscillatory function.

In this contribution we will review the progresses toward the construction of a tracking system able to measure the passage of charged particles with a combined precision of ∼10ps and ∼10μm, either ...using a single type of sensor, able to concurrently measure position and time, or a combination of position and time sensors.
