# Introduction to BESIII
The [Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII)](http://bes3.ihep.ac.cn) is a particle detector
experiment situated at the
[Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPCII)](http://english.ihep.cas.cn/doc/1840.html).
It is primarily designed to perform studies of charmonium and charm physics, light
hadrons, determination of the tau mass, and $R$ scans at a center-of-mass energy of
ranging between 2 to 5 GeV.
