BESIII – physics using “charm” Charmonium physics: - Spectroscopy - transitions and decays Light hadron physics: - meson & baryon spectroscopy - glueball & hybrid - two-photon physics - e.m. form factors of nucleon Charm physics: - (semi)leptonic + hadronic decays - decay constant, form factors - CKM matrix: Vcd, Vcs - D 0 -D 0 bar mixing and CP violation - rare/forbidden decays Tau physics: - Tau decays near threshold - tau mass scan …and many more.
