Three Resonances in the Cross Section of e⁺ e^-→π⁺ π^- h_c The BESIII collaboration has reported the observation of three resonant structures in the cross section of e+ e-→π+ π- hc based on precise measurements at center-of-mass energies between 4.01 and 4.95 GeV. The cross section exhibits a plateau-like behavior between 4.3 and 4.5 GeV, followed by a sharp drop, revealing for the first time three distinct resonances. These resonances appear at masses of approximately 4.22, 4.33, and 4.47 GeV. The third structure was detected for the first time with a statistical significance exceeding 5σ. The results provide crucial insights into the nature of exotic particles, and have been published in Physical Review Letters on 11 August 2025 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 071901].

The X(2370) paper from the BESIII experiment was selected into PRL Collection of the most important papers in 2024 In 2024, the Spin-Parity quantum numbers of the X(2370) particle was determined to be 0-+ for the first time by the BESIII collaboration and its mass is found to be consistent with the theoretically predicted mass of the lightest pseudoscalar glueball. This important experimental measurement supports the interpretation of the X(2370) as the lightest pseudoscalar glueball and it was published in the journal of Physical Review Letters (PRL) on the 2nd of May, 2024 as PRL Editor's Suggestion (PRL 132 (2024) 181901). Recently, this letter was selected into the Physical Review Letters Collection of the Year 2024, i.e., the most important papers in 2024.

Evidence for Two Excited Ω^- Hyperons ​The BESIII collaboration recently reported the evidence for two excited Ω- hyperons. The results have been published in Physics Review Letters on March 4, 2025 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 134, 131903 (2025)]. Baryons are the simplest system in which all three colors of QCD form a colorless object.
