BES III: pp mass threshold enhancement
Possible interpretations Conventional meson ppbar bound state / multi-quark glueball
Chinese Phys C 34 (2010) 421
Confirmation of enhancement first observed by BES II
M ~ 1.83-1.86 GeV

BES III: pp mass threshold PWA
Breit-Wigner and S-wave FSI describes structure M = 1832 ± 19 MeV G = 13 ± 39 MeV Spin-parity of 0-+
strongly favored by PWA fit

Angular distribution of X(1835) consistent with 0-+ assignment
Pure glue lattice expects lowest 0-+ glueball mass ~ 2.5 GeV
X(2370) M = 2376 ± 9 MeV G = 83 ± 17 MeV
X(2120) M = 2122 ± 7 MeV G = 83 ± 16 MeV
X(1835) M = 1837 ± 3 MeV G = 190 ± 9 MeV

BES III: X(1870) in J/y->wX, X->hp+p-
Identification of X(1870)? Spin-parity 0-+? Is it the X(1835)? h2(1870)? Need PWA!

BES III: Summary and prospects Huge data samples collected for charmonium decays at BES
III Data based on 200 M J/y events Confirms of the ppbar mass threshold enhancement at 1832
MeV Confirms of the X(1835)->h’p+p- and finds two new structures:
X(2120) and X(2370) Observes the new structure X(1870) in J/y -> wX(hp+p-) 1.2 billion J/y and 500 million y events already collected
Expect rich physics results in the coming years from BES III

The decay of the 3p system at point 1 to the di-pion resonance Rpp and a bachelor pion is described in the Gottfried-Jackson frame.
The decay of Rpp→ papb at point 2 is described in the helicity frame.

COMPASS: Summary and prospects Diffractive production of 3p states
Analysis of 50x statistics of initial pilot run Results for p1(1600)-> p-p-p+ and p1(1600)->p-p0p0
Confirmation of exotic state Ongoing analysis
Pilot Primakoff data sees no exotic in quasi-photoproduction Exotic signals also seen in hp and h’p channels Search for p1(2000) in the KKpp final state
COMPASS has acquired large statistics on many reactions Diffractive dissociation of p, p-, K- on various targets Central production of (pp) in pp reactions, which can be used for
glueball searches. p-g and K-g Primakoff reactions on heavy targets
