Abstract

A selection of results from electron-positron collisions at BESIII are reviewed. The results presented here illustrate the wide range of physics topics that can be studied using the Beijing Electron Positron Collider~(BEPC). At low collision energies, the cross section for e+eπ+πe^+e^-\to \pi^+\pi^- provides much-needed input into theoretical calculations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, and the reaction e+eppˉe^+e^-\to p\bar{p} provides access to the electromagnetic form factors of the proton. In the charmonium region, a large sample of ψ\psi^\prime decays can be used to measure new decay modes of charmonium states. And at higher energies, BESIII is uniquely situated to explore questions concerning the still-unexplained XYZXYZ states.
