We present the first observation of the singly Cabibbo-suppressed decay Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi 0with asignificance of5.7 sigma and the first evidence of Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi thorn pi-decay with a significance of3.1 sigma,basedone thorn e-annihilation data recorded by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The data correspond to anintegrated luminosity of6.4fb-1, in the center-of-mass energy range from 4.600 to 4.950 GeV. Wedetermine the branching fractions of Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi 0and Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi thorn pi-relative to their Cabibbo-favored counterparts to beBo Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi 0 thorn Bo Lambda thorn c ->Lambda pi thorn pi 0 thorn 1/4o2.090.39stat0.07syst thorn x10-2andBo Lambda thorn c ->Lambda K thorn pi thorn pi- thorn Bo Lambda thorn c ->Lambda pi thorn pi thorn pi- thorn 1/4o1.130.41stat0.06syst thorn x10-2, respectively.

This result significantly departs from theoretical predictionsbased on quarkSUo3 thorn flavor symmetry, which is underpinned by the presumption of meson pairS-waveamplitude dominance, For complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.032003

The process e thorn e- -> sigma thorn sigma over bar - is studied from threshold up to 3.04 GeV=c2 via the initial -state radiation technique using data with an integrated luminosity of 12.0 fb-1, collected at center-of-mass energies between 3.773 and 4.258 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The pair production cross sections and the effective form factors of sigma are measured in eleven sigma thorn sigma over bar - invariant mass intervals from threshold to 3.04 GeV=c2. The results are consistent with the previous results from Belle and BESIII. Furthermore, the branching fractions of the decays J=psi ->sigma thorn sigma over bar - and psi o3686 thorn -> sigma thorn sigma over bar - are determined and the obtained results are consistent with the previous results of BESIII., For complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.034029

With a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 11.5 fb(-1) collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, for the first time the light hadron decay chi(c1()3872)->pi(+)pi(-)eta is searched for. While no significant signal is observed, the upper limits at the 90% confidence level for sigma[e(+)e(-)->gamma chi(c1)(3872)]B[chi(c1)(3872)->pi(+)pi(-)eta] at center of mass energies from 4.13 GeV to 4.34 GeV are determined. By normalizing to the chi(c1)(3872)->pi(+)pi(-)J/psi decay channel, a 90% confidence level upper limit for the branching fraction ratio R=B[chi(c1)(3872)->pi(+)pi(-)eta]/B[chi(c1)(3872)->pi(+)pi(-)J/psi]<0.12 is given. These measurements provide important inputs for understanding the internal structure of the chi(c1)(3872) resonance, For complete list of authors see http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.L011102
