Abstract

We report the first measurement of the dielectron invariant mass dependent transition form factor in the electromagnetic Dalitz decay 𝐽/𝜓 →𝑒+⁢𝑒−⁢𝜋0 using (10087 ±44) ×106  𝐽/𝜓 events collected by the BESIII detector. A clear 𝜌 −𝜔 interference structure is observed, consistent with the pion form factor, which offers a novel approach to extract the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the anomalous muon magnetic moment (𝑎𝜇 ) and refine the predictions of the vector meson dominance (VMD) model and hadronic light-by-light contribution to 𝑎𝜇. By taking into account the contribution of this 𝜌 −𝜔 interference structure, the branching fraction of 𝐽/𝜓 →𝑒+⁢𝑒−⁢𝜋0 in the full 𝑒+⁢𝑒− invariant mass range is also measured for the first time to be (8.06 ±0.31⁢(stat) ±0.38⁢(syst)) ×10−7, approximately twice the nonresonant VMD prediction.
