abstract
This paper will discuss the design and construction of BESIII, which is designed to study physics in the tau-charm energy region utilizing the new high luminosity BEPCII double ring e+e- collider. The expected performance will be given based on Monte Carlo simulations and results of cosmic ray and beam tests. In BESIII, tracking and momentum measurements for charged particles are made by a cylindrical multilayer drift chamber in a 1 T superconducting solenoid. Charged particles are identified with a time-of-flight system based on plastic scintillators in conjunction with dE/dx (energy loss per unit pathlength) measurements in the drift chamber. Energies of electromagnetic showers are measured by a CsI(Tl) crystal calorimeter located inside the solenoid magnet. Muons are identified by arrays of resistive plate chambers in the steel magnetic flux return. The level 1 trigger system, Data Acquisition system and the event filter system based on networked computers will also be described.

No signal found in first search for eta to pi0 plus invisible dark scalar decay, setting branching fraction limits of (1.8-5.5)x10^-5 at 90% CL and improving DM-nucleon cross section bounds by ~5 orders of magnitude.
First amplitude analysis of ψ(3686)→γKS0KS0 with a one-channel K-matrix finds four f0 and three f2 poles consistent with known states and reports branching-fraction ratios to J/ψ decays that constrain possible glueball content.
Dark pions stabilized by U(1) flavor symmetry in an SU(3)/SO(3) dark sector obtain the correct thermal relic density through up-scatterings to heavier mesons and dark eta decays, producing LHC signals from long-lived particle showers.
A joint fit to LHCb B to D h decays and BESIII quantum-correlated D Dbar data yields gamma = 71.3 plus or minus 5.0 degrees, the most precise measurement to date.
A novel model-independent approach with per-event phase-space weights on combined BESIII and LHCb data measures the CKM angle γ as (71.3 ± 5.0)° in B± → D(→ K0S h'+h'-) h± decays.
A framework based on the YFS theorem enables process-independent local IR subtraction and resummation matching for automated NNLO_EW calculations in lepton collider processes.
STCF with 1 ab^{-1} can probe several-TeV new-physics scales in sterile-neutrino EFT and constrain an RPV SUSY parameter to ~0.1 TeV^{-2} for apparent BNV in unexplored Lambda_c+ channels.
BESIII reports discoveries of new excited nucleon, Lambda, Sigma, Xi, and Omega hyperon states from high-statistics electron-positron collision data.
BESIII provides an updated model-independent measurement of strong-phase differences in D0 and bar{D}0 decays to K_S/L^0 pi^+ pi^- using quantum-correlated data, claimed to be the most precise.
Measures Br(D_s^+ → μ^+ ν_μ) = (0.5294 ± 0.0108_stat ± 0.0085_syst)% and extracts f_{D_s^+} |V_cs| = 241.8 ± 4.7 MeV.
STCF can reach |V_eN|^2 values one to two orders of magnitude below current bounds for heavy neutral leptons via displaced-vertex searches from ALP decays in D-meson production.
BESIII presents experimental searches for sub-GeV dark matter via invisible decays, dark baryons, light vector bosons, and baryon/lepton-number-violating processes in charmonium and hyperon decays.
A review of BESIII charmed meson decay studies presents the most precise averages for |V_cs|, |V_cd|, D and D_s decay constants, and several hadronic form factors from combined experimental results.
