Introduction to BESIII

The Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) is a particle detector experiment situated at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII). It is primarily designed to perform studies of charmonium and charm physics, light hadrons, determination of the tau mass, and \(R\) scans at a center-of-mass energy of ranging between 2 to 5 GeV.
