In this article, we review the recent experimental studies on the charmoniumlike states, mainly from the e+e- annihilation experiments BESIII, Belle, BaBar, and CLEO-c, and the hadron collider experiment LHCb. We discuss the results on the…
We report recent measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of charmless hadronic B decays using the data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- collider.
Nonleptonic $B$ to charmonium decays generally deviate from the factorization predictions. We study rescattering effects mediated by intermediate charmed mesons in this class of decay modes and, in particular, we consider $B^- \to K^- h_c$…
A summary of charm hadron production fractions is given, as measured at e+e- storage rings and at HERA, taking into account the newest values of charmed hadron decay branching ratios.
BESIII had collected large data samples on $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ peaks during the first run in 2009. From 2010 to 2011, about 2.9 fb$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity were obtained on the peak of $\psi(3770)$ for open charm physics. We…
