QCD predicts that strongly interacting matter will undergo a transition from a state of hadronic constituents to a plasma of unbound quarks and gluons. We first survey the conceptual features of this transition and its description in finite…
The recently observed by CLEO cascade decays Upsilon(3S) -> gamma chi_{bJ}^\prime -> gamma omega Upsilon are discussed. It is shown that within the nonrelativistic description of bottomonium in the heavy b quark limit, the ratio of the…
We discuss, how to study $I = 0$ quarkonium resonances decaying into pairs of heavy-light mesons using static potentials from lattice QCD. These static potentials can be obtained from a set of correlation functions containing both static…
In the past decade, more and more charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states have been reported in experiments, which have led us to extensive discussions on the underlying structure of these states. In this review paper, we briefly…
We calculate spin averaged splittings in the bottomonium and charmonium systems using the clover action. We compare static and kinetic masses of heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons and discuss the consistency of the results.
Many charmonium-like and bottomonium-like $XYZ$ resonances have been observed by the Belle, Babar, CLEO and BESIII collaborations in the past decade. They are difficult to fit in the conventional quark model and thus are considered as…
At CLEO, the charmonium singlet states eta_c(2 1S0) and h_c(1 1P1) have been firmly identified and a long standing discrepancy for Gamma_(gamma gamma)(chi_c2) has been resolved.
The QCD string model is employed to evaluate the masses of orbitally and radially excited heavy-light mesons and lightest hybrids in the spectrum of charmonium and bottomonium. The number of parameters of the model is reduced to only seven…
The FASTSUM Collaboration has calculated several quantities relevant for QCD studies at non-zero temperature using the lattice technique. We report here our results for the (i) interquark potential in charmonium; (ii) bottomonium spectral…
We review recent charmonium and bottomonium spectroscopy results from the B-factories Belle and \babar. A particular focus is given to the new $\eta_{c}(1S)$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)$ measurement and to the radiative transitions from $\Upsilon…
We argue that the relative yields of $\Upsilon$ states observed at the LHC can be understood as bottomonium states coming to early thermal equilibrium and then freezing out. The bottomonium freezeout temperature is approximately 250 MeV. We…
We present the masses of singly ($B$, $B_s$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Sigma_b$, etc.), doubly ($B_c$, $\eta_b$, $\Upsilon$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$, etc.), and triply ($\Omega_{bcc}$, $\Omega_{bbc}$, $\Omega_{bbb}$, etc.) heavy hadrons arising from…
Charmonium production in heavy-ion collisions is investigated within a kinetic theory framework incorporating in-medium properties of open- and hidden-charm states in line with recent QCD lattice calculations. A continuously decreasing…
Recent developments and selected topics in low-energy QCD are summarized, from chiral effective field theory to systems with strange and charm quarks, from lattice QCD to precision experiments.
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a firmly established part of the Standard Model, yet its long distance properties remain challenging at a conceptual level. In recent years significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made…
Recent experimental results on heavy quarkonia spectroscopy and decays are reviewed. In particular, new results are discussed on charmonium spin singlet states, bottomonium D-states, photon and hadronic transitions from heavy quarkonium…
A constituent parton picture of hadrons with logarithmic confinement naturally arises in weak coupling light-front QCD. Confinement provides a mass gap that allows the constituent picture to emerge. The effective renormalized Hamiltonian is…
We discuss a general theoretical framework for the study of bound states made of two heavy quarks. For states below threshold, the framework has been developed to the level of providing precision studies for several charmonium and…
Quarkonium-nucleus systems are composed of two interacting hadronic states without common valence quarks, which interact primarily through multi-gluon exchanges, realizing a color van der Waals force. We present lattice QCD calculations of…
This report discusses some recent investigations of the heavy hadron spectra using lattice QCD. The first half addresses multiple precision determinations of the masses of charm (and bottom) baryons. Recent lattice results in the tetraquark…
