Study of X(3872) and contributions to the hardware upgrade of BES III

• Applicant: Professor Dr. Wolfgang Kühn
• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields
• Term: from 2015 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 271236083

This project has two goals: (i) the investigation of the exotic X(3872) by searching for hadronic decays and measurement the electronic width and the total width of this state; (ii) contributions to the data acquisition and trigger system of the planed BES3 zero-degree calorimeter upgrade for ISR processes.
