The effects of absolute energy calibration on BESⅢ physics are discussed in detail, which mainly involve the effects on τ mass measurement, cross section scan measurement, and generic error determination in other measurements.
The beam energy measurement system is of great importance for both BEPC-II accelerator and BES-III detector. The system is based on measuring the energies of Compton back-scattered photons. In order to meet the requirements of data taking and improve the measurement accuracy, the system has continued to be upgraded, which involves the updating of laser and optics subsystems, replacement of a view-port of the laser to the vacuum insertion subsystem, the use of an electric cooling system for a high purity germanium detector, and improvement of the data acquisition and processing subsystem. The upgrade system guarantees the smooth and efficient measurement of beam energy at BEPC-II and enables accurate offline energy values for further physics analysis at BES-III.
To achieve a high precision τ mass measurement at the high luminosity experiment BESIII,Monte Carlo simulation and sampling technique are utilized to simulate various data taking cases for single and multiparameter fits by virtue of which the optimal scheme is determined. The optimized proportion of luminosity distributed at selected points and the relation between precision and luminosity are obtained. In addition,the optimization of the fit scheme is confirmed by scrutinizing a variety of fit possibilities.
The cross sections for e^＋e^- →π^＋ π^-J/ψ, π^＋π^-ψ（2S）, K^＋K^-J/ψ, DD1D^0D1-π^＋ ＋c.c., D^＊D＋c.c., and D^＊D^＊ are measured using data sample collected on or near the T（4S） resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25 GeV/c^2, corresponding to the so called Y（4260）, is observed in π^＋π^-J/ψ final state. In addition, there is another cluster of events at around 4.05 GeV/c^2. Two resonant structures are observed in the π^＋π^-ψ（2S） invariant mass distribution, one at 4361±9±9 MeV/c^2 with a width of 74±15±10 MeV/c2, and another at 4664 ±11±5 MeV/c2 with a width of 48±15±3 MeV/c^2. The rich structures observed in all these final states indicate that our understanding of the vector charmonium states above the open charm threshold is still poor, let alone the other possible dynamics such as charmonium hybrids or final state re-scattering and so on.
The beam energy is measured in the e^＋e^- collision by using Compton backscattering. The uncertainty of this measurement process is studied by virtue of analytical formulas, and the special effects of variant energy spread and energy drift on the systematic uncertainty estimation are also studied with the Monte Carlo sampling technique. These quantitative conclusions are especially important for understanding the uncertainty of the beam energy measurement system.
