The decays $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{s}}^0 $$ B s 0 → J/ψπ+π−K+K− are studied using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1, collected with the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The decays $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{s}}^0 $$ B s 0 → $$ \mathrm{J}/{\uppsi \mathrm{K}}^{\ast 0}{\overline{\mathrm{K}}}^{\ast 0} $$ J / ψK ∗ 0 K ¯ ∗ 0 and $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{s}}^0 $$ B s 0 → χc1(3872)K+K−, where the K+K−pair does not originate from a ϕ meson, are observed for the first time. Precise measurements of the ratios of branching fractions between intermediate χc1(3872)ϕ, $$ \mathrm{J}/{\uppsi \mathrm{K}}^{\ast 0}{\overline{\mathrm{K}}}^{\ast 0} $$ J / ψK ∗ 0 K ¯ ∗ 0 , ψ(2S)ϕ and χc1(3872)K+K− states are reported. A structure, denoted as X(4740), is observed in the J/ψϕ mass spectrum and, assuming a Breit-Wigner parameterisation, its mass and width are determined to be$$ {\displaystyle \begin{array}{c}{m}_{\mathrm{X}(4740)}=4741\pm 6\pm 6\kern0.5em \mathrm{MeV}/{c}^2,\\ {}{\Gamma}_{\mathrm{X}(4740)}=53\pm 15\pm 11\kern0.5em \mathrm{MeV},\end{array}} $$ m X 4740 = 4741 ± 6 ± 6 MeV / c 2 , Γ X 4740 = 53 ± 15 ± 11 MeV , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. In addition, the most precise single measurement of the mass of the $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{s}}^0 $$ B s 0 meson is performed and gives a value of$$ {m}_{{\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{s}}^0}=5366.98\pm 0.07\pm 0.13\kern0.5em \mathrm{MeV}/{c}^2. $$ m B s 0 = 5366.98 ± 0.07 ± 0.13 MeV / c 2 .

The production cross-section of the χc1(3872) state relative to the ψ(2S) meson is measured using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of $$ \sqrt{s} $$ s = 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 2.0 and 5.4 fb−1, respectively. The two mesons are reconstructed in the J/ψπ+π− final state. The ratios of the prompt and nonprompt χc1(3872) to ψ(2S) production cross-sections are measured as a function of transverse momentum, pT, and rapidity, y, of the χc1(3872) and ψ(2S) states, in the kinematic range 4 < pT< 20 GeV/c and 2.0 < y < 4.5. The prompt ratio is found to increase with pT, independently of y. For the prompt component, the double ratio of the χc1(3872) and ψ(2S) production cross-sections between 13 and 8 TeV is observed to be consistent with unity, independent of pT and centre-of-mass energy.
Lepton scattering is an established ideal tool for studying inner structure of small particles such as nucleons as well as nuclei. As a future high energy nuclear physics project, an Electron-ion collider in China (EicC) has been proposed. It will be constructed based on an upgraded heavy-ion accelerator, High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) which is currently under construction, together with a new electron ring. The proposed collider will provide highly polarized electrons (with a polarization of ∼80%) and protons (with a polarization of ∼70%) with variable center of mass energies from 15 to 20 GeV and the luminosity of (2–3) × 1033 cm−2 · s−1. Polarized deuterons and Helium-3, as well as unpolarized ion beams from Carbon to Uranium, will be also available at the EicC.The main foci of the EicC will be precision measurements of the structure of the nucleon in the sea quark region, including 3D tomography of nucleon; the partonic structure of nuclei and the parton interaction with the nuclear environment; the exotic states, especially those with heavy flavor quark contents. In addition, issues fundamental to understanding the origin of mass could be addressed by measurements of heavy quarkonia near-threshold production at the EicC. In order to achieve the above-mentioned physics goals, a hermetical detector system will be constructed with cutting-edge technologies.This document is the result of collective contributions and valuable inputs from experts across the globe. The EicC physics program complements the ongoing scientific programs at the Jefferson Laboratory and the future EIC project in the United States. The success of this project will also advance both nuclear and particle physics as well as accelerator and detector technology in China.
