Description
World-record data samples collected by the BESIII detector provide an ideal laboratory for hadron spectroscopy studies. Using 10 billion event and 2.7 billion event samples collected at the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ resonances of charmonium, respectively, detailed studies of light hadrons and charmonium decays are conducted. Scan samples above 4 GeV allow for investigations into exotic candidate charmonium-like XYZ states, the structure of which may be probed through careful study of their production mechanisms and decays. In this talk, I will explore these topics by providing an overview of some of the recent results of the BESIII hadron spectroscopy program.
