Observation of Three Vector Charmonium-like States decaying into D*0 D*- π+ in e+ e- annihilations
The BESIII collaboration recently reported “observations of three vector charmonium-like states with JPC=1-- decaying into D*0D*-π+ produced in e+e- annihilations in the energy range from 4.19 GeV to 4.95 GeV”. The masses of the three resonance states are found to be around 4.21 GeV, 4.47 GeV and 4.68 GeV, respectively, with broad widths larger than 50 MeV. They are candidates of exotic hadrons beyond conventional meson, as no c-cbar charmonium states predicted in quark model are consistent with these new findings. The results have been published in Physical Review Letters on March 23th, 2023. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 121901 (2023)].

BESIII recently reported the study of the Cabibbo-favored Semileptonic (SL) decay Λc+ -> Λe+νe [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 231803 (2022)], with the largest Λc threshold data sets collected at the center-of-mass energy region between 4.6 GeV and 4.7 GeV.
Precision measurements of hyperon radiative decay Λ → nγ
The BESIII collaboration has reported the first absolute branching fraction and decay asymmetry of Λ → nγ via J/ψ→ΛΛbar process with 10 billion J/ψ data. This is the first measurement of radiative hyperon decays at an electron-positron collider experiment. The measured value of the branching fraction with improved precision, is 5.6 standard deviations different from the PDG average value. The results have been published in Physics Review Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 212002 (2022)].
Observation of an Isoscalar Resonance with Exotic J^PC=1^(-+) Quantum Numbers in J/ψ→γηη'
The BESIII collaboration reported the observation of an isoscalar resonance with exotic JPC=1-+ quantum numbers. This research is published in Physical Review Letters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 192002 (2022)], accompanied by a detailed companion paper in Physical Review D [Phys. Rev. D 106, 072012 (2022)]. This is an observation of a new category of hadronic matter, which is an important step forward in low energy QCD.

First observation of the direct production of a non-vector state in e+e- annihilation
The BESIII Collaboration has observed the direct production of an axial vector particle, χc1(1P), in electron-positron (e+e-) annihilation. The paper has been published in Physical Review Letters [Phy. Rev. Lett. 129 (2022) 122001]. This is the first experimental observation of the direct production of a non-vector state in e+e- annihilation process.
First evidence for the first neutral open-strange hidden-charm tetraquark state
The BESIII Collaboration recently reported the evidence of a new exotic multi-quark state, namely Zcs(3985)0. It is the neutral partner of the charged tetraquark Zcs(3985)+ observed in 2021 at BESIII. This is the first candidate of the neutral hidden-charm tetraquark with non-zero strangeness, which marks a new milestone in exploration of the genuine properties of the family of the exotic multi-quark hadrons. The paper has been published in Physical Review Letters [Phy. Rev. Lett. 129 (2022) 112003].
