Description

Hadron spectroscopy is one of the most important physics goals of BESIII. BESIII brings great opportunities to study the XYZ states of charmonium by directly producing the Y states up to 4.6 GeV. We focus on the investigation of XYZ states and the discovery of new charged charmonium-like structures. Two isospin triplets Z(3900) and Z(4020) have been discovered, decaying into J/psi pi and hc pi, respectively. Structures with compatible parameters have been found decaying to DD and DD*, respectively.
Furthermore, we have investigated the new transitions between charmonium states, e.g. Y(4260)->gamma X(3872).
