Abstract
We report on an analysis of the decay $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma\pi^0\eta^{\prime}$ using a sample of $(1310.6 \pm 7.0) \times ~10^6~ J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector. We search for the CP-violating process $\eta_c\rightarrow\pi^0\eta^{\prime}$ and a dark gauge boson $U'$ in $J/\psi\rightarrow U^{\prime}\eta^{\prime},~U^{\prime}\rightarrow\gamma\pi^0,~\pi^0\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$. No evidence of an $\eta_{c}$ signal is observed in the $\pi^0\eta^{\prime}$ invariant-mass spectrum and the upper limit of the branching fraction is determined to be $7.2 \times~10^{-5}$ at the 90\% confidence level. We also find no evidence of $U'$ production and set upper limits at the 90\% confidence level on the product branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi \rightarrow U^{\prime} \eta^{\prime}) \times \mathcal{B}(U^{\prime} \rightarrow \pi^{0} \gamma)$ in the range between $(0.8 - 6.5)\times 10^{-7}$ for 0.2 $\leq m_{U^{\prime}} \leq 2.1 $GeV$/c^{2}$. In addition, we study the process $J/\psi\rightarrow\omega\eta^{\prime}$ with $\omega\rightarrow\gamma\pi^0$. The branching fraction of $J/\psi\rightarrow\omega\eta^{\prime}$ is found to be $(1.87\pm0.09\pm0.12) \times 10^{-4}$, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic, with a precision that is improved by a factor of 1.4 over the previously published BESIII measurement.
Highlights
The Standard Model (SM) has been successful in explaining a wide variety of experimental data; it fails to explain several observations, such as dark matter, the baryon asymmetry in the Universe, the neutrino masses, and so on

In this paper, using a sample of 1.31 × 109J=ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first study of J=ψ → γπ0η0, which allows us to search for the conjugation and parity symmetry (CP)-violating decay of ηc → π0η0 and to search for a new gauge boson [5] by investigating the γπ0-mass spectrum
Summary
The Standard Model (SM) has been successful in explaining a wide variety of experimental data; it fails to explain several observations, such as dark matter, the baryon asymmetry in the Universe, the neutrino masses, and so on. The BESIII (Beijing Electron Spectrometer) experiment is currently searching for beyond-the-SM physics using low-energy eþe− collision data. The dark photon occurs naturally in many proposed models and has been invoked to explain various experimental and observational anomalies [7] This new gauge boson referred to as U0 has the same quantum number, JPC 1⁄4 1−−, as the ω meson. In this paper, using a sample of 1.31 × 109J=ψ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present the first study of J=ψ → γπ0η0, which allows us to search for the CP-violating decay of ηc → π0η0 and to search for a new gauge boson [5] by investigating the γπ0-mass spectrum. We present the most accurate measurement of the J=ψ → ωη0 branching fraction [current BESIII measurement value is
