Preview of the seminar “BESIII: status and prospects” by Igor Boiko, 21.11.2018

    The BESIII experiment is being conducted at the BEPCII electron–positron collider with the annihilation energy of 2 to 4.6 GeV in Beijing. The collider has a record luminosity (10^33/cm^2/s) for this energy range.The collected statistics of the experimental data is 1–2 orders of magnitude higher than statistics of other experiments.The BESIII research programme is quite wide, including study of charmed particles and charmonium states, light hadron spectroscopy, tau-lepton physics, search for new physical phenomena, and a lot more.

The current status of the BESIII experiment was reported, and upgrade prospects for the collider and the experimental facility were discussed.In particular, results obtained by the JINR team and researches planned for the near future were presented.
