Abstract

A new facility, for precision physics in the charm/tau energy regime has become operational at the Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, China. It features the dual ring e(+)e(-) collider BEPCII operating at luminosities up to 10(33) cm(-2)s(-1) and at a centre-of-mass energy between 2 GeV and 4.6 GeV. BESIII, a new state-of-the-art detector has been built, and successfully commissioned. This contribution describes the facility. presents a brief overview of the physics program and shows preliminary results from first run in spring 2009 which collected a sample of 156 pb(-1) the psi(2S) resonance.
