  "abstract": "Using a data sample of $(2712.4\\pm14.4)\\times 10^{6}$ $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we report a high-precision study of the $π^{0}π^{0}$ mass spectrum from $ψ(3686)\\rightarrowπ^{0}π^{0}J/ψ$ decays. The enhancement previously observed near the $ππ$ mass threshold in the $π^+π^-$ channel is confirmed, with a statistical significance exceeding 10$σ$. A fit with a Breit-Wigner function yields a mass of $M = 274.3\\pm 2.1_{\\rm stat.}\\pm0.6_{\\rm syst.}~{\\rm MeV}/c^2$ and a width of $Γ= 17.1\\pm 1.5_{\\rm stat.}\\pm0.5_{\\rm syst.}~{\\rm MeV}$, consistent with those from the $π^{+}π^{-}$ channel. By including final-state interactions, we analyze the data using both chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) and QCD multipole expansion (QCDME). While the ChPT model describes the higher-mass region above 0.3 GeV/$c^2$ well, it fails to reproduce the significant threshold enhancement. In contrast, the QCDME model, which incorporates the $S$- and $D$-wave admixture structure of $ψ(3686)$, provides a better description of the full $π^{0}π^{0}$ mass spectrum.",
