Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been phenomenologically classified into long and short populations based on the observed bimodal distribution of duration1. Multi-wavelength and multi-messenger observations in recent years have revealed that in general long GRBs originate from massive star core collapse events2, whereas short GRBs originate from binary...

The afterglow of GRB 170817A has been detected for more than three years, but the origin of the multi-band afterglow light curves remains under debate. A classical top-hat jet model is faced with difficulties in producing a shallow rise of the afterglow light curves as observed $(F_{\nu} \propto T^{0.8})$. Here we reconsider the model of stratified...

Polarization can serve as a probe of the radiation mechanism and magnetic field (MF) configuration in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In the case of constant MF, the synchrotron polarization in the prompt phase of GRBs has been widely studied. In this paper, we consider the case of the decaying MF. We calculate the time-averaged and instantaneous synchrot...

In the internal shock model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the synchrotron spectrum from the fast cooling electrons in a homogeneous downstream magnetic field (MF) is too soft to produce the low-energy slope of GRB spectra. However the magnetic field may decay downstream with distance from the shock front. Here we show that the synchrotron spectrum b...

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves generally are energy dependent, i.e., the higher the photon energy, the narrower the pulse. In addition, the peak of the pulse at lower energies is usually delayed compared with that in higher energy. The phenomenon even exists in some X-ray flares and following optical flares. However, its origin is still unclear...

Based on a data sample of 106×106 ψ′ events collected with the BESIII detector, the decays ψ′→γχc0,2, χc0,2→γγ are studied to determine the two-photon widths of the χc0,2 states. The two-photon decay branching fractions are determined to be B(χc0→γγ)=(2.24±0.19±0.12±0.08)×10-4 and B(χc2→γγ)=(3.21±0.18±0.17±0.13)×10-4. From these, the two-photon wid...

Using a data sample containing 1.06×108 ψ′ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII electron-positron collider, we search for a light exotic particle X in the process ψ′→π+π-J/ψ, J/ψ→γX, X→μ+μ-. This light particle X could be a Higgs-like boson A0, a spin-1 U boson, or a pseudoscalar sgoldstino particle. In this analysis, we find no...

The decays J/ψ → γ π+ π- π0 and J/ψ → γ π0 π0 π0 are analyzed using a sample of 225×10(6) J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay of η(1405) → f(0)(980)π0 with a large isospin violation is observed for the first time. The width of the f(0)(980) observed in the dipion mass spectra is anomalously narrower than the world average. Deca...

Previous studies have found that the width of gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulse is energy dependent and that it decreases as a power-law function with increasing photon energy. In this work we have investigated the relation between the energy dependence of pulse and the so-called Band spectrum by using a sample including 51 well-separated fast rise and e...

Using 106×106 ψ′ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, the higher-order multipole amplitudes in the radiative transition ψ′→γχc2→γπ+π-/γK+K- are measured. A fit to the χc2 production and decay angular distributions yields M2=0.046±0.010±0.013 and E3=0.015±0.008±0.018, where the first errors are statistical and the se...

The mass and width of the lowest lying S-wave spin singlet charmonium state, the eta_c, are measured using a data sample of 1.06x10^8 psi' decays collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. We use a model that incorporates interference between the signal reaction, psi' -> gamma eta_c, and a non-resonant radiative background to su...

... However, the traditional classification schemes have been challenged by recent observations, the dichotomy based on phenomenon does not necessarily correspond to the two distinct physical origins of GRBs. Some short-duration GRBs (such as GRB 090426, GRB 100816A, and GRB 200826A) are thought to possibly originate from massive collapsars (Zhang et al. 2009;Fan & Wei 2011;Nicuesa Guelbenzu et ⋆ Contact e-mail: fwzhang@pmo.ac.cn al. 2011; Xin et al. 2011;Zhang et al. 2012;Ahumada et al. 2021;Zhang et al. 2021;Rossi et al. 2022), while some longduration GRBs (such as GRB 060505, GRB 060614, 211227A, and GRB 211211A) are believed to possibly originate from compact binary mergers (Della Valle et al. 2006;Gal-Yam et al. 2006;Gehrels et al. 2006;Fynbo et al. 2006;Zhang et al. 2007;Lü et al. 2022;Rastinejad et al. 2022;Troja et al. 2022;Xiao et al. 2022;Yang et al. 2022;Zhu et al. 2022). Moreover, a significant overlapping is presented in the T90 distribution of SGRBs and LGRBs, and the measurement of T90 strongly depends on instrument and energy band (Zhang et al. 2012;. ...

Different magnetic field geometries have been considered, including ordered magnetic fields (e.g. Granot 2003 ;Granot & K önigl 2003 ;Lyutiko v, P ariev & Blandford 2003 ;Nakar, Piran & Waxman 2003 ;Mundell et al. 2013 ;Cheng, Zhao & Bai 2020 ;Teboul & Shaviv 2021 ;Kuwata et al. 2023 ), magnetic fields tangled in the shock plane or perpendicular to it (Ghisellini & Lazzati 1999 ;Gruzinov 1999 ;Medvedev & Loeb 1999 ;Sari, Piran & Halpern 1999 ;Granot et al. 2002 ), or asymmetric magnetic fields, e.g. those generated by causally disconnected regions (e.g. ...

... The special cases are those of η and η decays, which only involve the pseudoscalar nonet. In the case of the η c , the large decay width 32.0(7) MeV presents certain challenges for amplitude analyses: depending on the decay mode there may be significant contributions from interference with the nonresonant J/ψ → γX decays to the identical final states [530][531][532]. Therefore a viable alternative, where the η c is produced in two-photon processes, is discussed in this section. ...
... In addition, the unexpected large production cross section for e + e − → π + π − h c in the BESIII energy region [27] opened a new mechanism for studying the h c and η c (from h c → γ η c ), and BESIII contributed the world's best measurements of the properties of these states [28]. We report here the observation of the M1 transition ψ(2S) → γ η c (2S) at BESIII [29], a transition that has been sought for since the first-generation BES experiment in the 1980s.

... It is desirable to extend these studies to decays of χ cJ into pairs of decuplet ground-state baryons with spin 3=2. So far only χ c0 → Σð1385Þ AEΣ ð1385Þ ∓ decays [12] have been studied by the BESIII Collaboration. The decay χ cJ → Ω −Ωþ is unique due to the presence of three pairs of strange quarks in the final state. ...
