Abstract:
Using data samples with a total integrated luminosity of 253 pb^{-1} collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider, the differential cross sections of inclusive π^{±} and K^{±} production, as a function of the momentum and normalized by the total hadronic cross section, are measured at center-of-mass energies from 2.000 to 3.671 GeV. The measured π^{±} cross sections are consistent with the previously reported π^{0} cross sections by BESIII, while the K^{±} cross sections are systematically higher than the K_{S}^{0} cross sections by a factor of approximately 1.4. These new results are in agreement with state-of-the-art QCD analyses at next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy, particularly in the large hadron momentum region at energy scales down to 3 GeV. These findings support the validity of isospin symmetry in parton fragmentation processes.

Alpha (α) decay is the emission of an α particle from the nucleus. For example, polonium-210 undergoes α decay:
Electron Behavior
Electrons Orbit the Nucleus
Electrons are found in specific locations outside of the nucleus. The shell in which an electron resides indicates the general energy level of the electron: those closer to the nucleus have less energy,...
Electron Behavior
Electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles that are attracted to an orbit around the positively-charged nucleus of an atom. They reside in locations that are associated with energy levels called shells and are further organized into sub-shells and orbitals within each shell.
