Abstract: (arXiv)
The decays J/ψγπ+ππ0J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0 and J/ψγπ0π0π0J/\psi \rightarrow \gamma \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0 are analyzed using a sample of 225 million \jpsi events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay of \eta(1405)\ar f_{0}(980)\pi^0 with a large isospin violation is observed for the first time. The width of the f0(980)f_{0}(980) observed in the dipion mass spectra is anomalously narrower than the world average. Decay rates for three-pion decays of the η\eta' are also measured precisely.
