全球定位系统数据所显示的华北平原现今形变

华北平原是一个地震危险性很高的地区,但先前的全球定位系统测量显示,华北平原现今几乎没有地壳形变。利用中国东部三个块体的最新全球定位系统数据,发现华北平原的地震间形变发生在一个近东西向、宽约1100km的左旋剪切带内。地震间的左旋剪切形变为6.0±1.3mm/a,其造成的现今形变最终被沿北—北东向断层、右旋走滑的地震破裂和块体的逆时针旋转所调节。我们认为刚性华南块体相对于刚性阿穆里安块体向东的快速运动,产生了一对左旋剪切力偶,扭曲了非刚性的华北平原,形成了现今的地壳形变。

Measurements of the center-of-mass energies of e^(+)e^(-)collisions at BESIII

During the 2016-17 and 2018-19 running periods,the BESIII experiment collected 7.5 fb of e^(+)e^(-)collision data at center-of-mass energies ranging from 4.13 to 4.44 GeV.These data samples are primarily used for the study of excited charmonium and charmoniumlike states.By analyzing the di-muon process e^(+)e^(-)→(γISR=FSR)μ^(+)μ^(-),we measure the center-of-mass energies of the data samples with a precision of 0.6 MeV.Through a run-by-run study,we find that the center-of-mass energies were stable throughout most of the data-collection period.

Number of J/ψ events at BESIII

Using inclusive decays of J/ψ aprecise determination of the number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector was performed.For the two data sets taken in 2009 and 2012,the numbers of J/ψ events were recalculated to be(224.0±1.3)×10^(6) and(1088.5±4.4)×10^(6),respectively;these numbers are in good agreement with the previous measurements. For the J/ψ sample taken in 2017-2019,the number of events was determined to be(8774.0±39.4)×10^(6).The total number of J/ψ events collected with the BESIII detector was determined to be(10087±44)×10^(6),where the uncertainty is dominated by systematic effects,and the statistical uncertainty is negligible.
