The Born cross section for the process e þ e − → pp is measured using the initial state radiation technique with an undetected photon. This analysis is based on datasets corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 7.5 fb −1 , collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider at center of mass energies between 3.773 and 4.600 GeV. The Born cross section for the process e þ e − → pp and the proton effective form factor are determined in the pp invariant mass range between 2.0 and 3.8 GeV=c 2 divided into 30 intervals. The proton form factor ratio (jG E j=jG M j) is measured in 3 intervals of the pp invariant mass between 2.0 and 3.0 GeV=c 2 .
The process e þ e − → ΛΛ is studied using data samples at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 2.2324, 2.400, 2.800 and 3.080 GeV collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider. The Born cross section is measured at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 2.2324 GeV, which is 1.0 MeV above the ΛΛ mass threshold, to be 305 AE 45 þ66 −36 pb, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The cross section near threshold is larger than that expected from theory, which predicts the cross section to vanish at threshold. The Born cross sections at ffiffi ffi s p ¼ 2.400, 2.800 and 3.080 GeV are measured and found to be consistent with previous experimental results, but with improved precision. Finally, the corresponding effective electromagnetic form factors of Λ are deduced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
