The BESIII experiment: yin and yang of physics

Abstract

BESIII is an experiment running at the Beijing electron-positron collider (BEPCII), based at the IHEP laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The collider BEPCII is a multibunch machine which operates in the energy range 2-4.95 GeV in the laboratory center of mass. BESIII is steadily
operating since 2009 and has collected the world's largest samples of J/ψ, ψ(2s) and ψ(3770). It has the unique opportunity to collect data directly in the region of the new XYZ states: this allows BESIII to have a major role in understanding the nature of these states, and search for new and exotic states. In the summer of 2024, both the spectrometer and accelerator will go through an upgrade program to continue data taking until beyond 2030. The Italian groups are leading an international collaboration to upgrade the inner tracker with a new cylindrical GEM detector, designed and built between Italy and China. This seminar is a journey throughout the two souls of the Italian BESIII group: the Yin (detector development) and the Yang (data analysis). Are you ready for this journey?
