The mass and decay constant of the heavy quarkonia $h_{Q}(1P)$ and $h_{Q}(2P)$ (Q = b, c) with quantum numbers $J^{PC} =1^{+-}$ are calculated in the framework of the two-point QCD sum rule method by taking into account the vacuum…

We argue that relatively compact charmonium states, $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\chi_c$, can very likely be bound inside light hadronic matter, in particular inside higher resonances made from light quarks and/or gluons. The charmonium state in…

We show that some NRQCD colour-octet matrix elements can be written in terms of (derivatives of) wave functions at the origin and non-perturbative universal constants once the factorization between the soft and ultrasoft scale is achieved…

The bottom-charmed ($B_c$) mesons are more stable than their charmonium ($c\bar c$) and bottomium ($b\bar b$) partners because they cannot annihilate into gluons. However, the low production cross-sections and signal-to-background ratios…

We employ the relativistic constituent quark model to give a unified description of the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons (\pi, K, D, D_s, B, B_s). The calculated leptonic decay constants and form factors are found to…

Here we present the two-photon and two-gluon decay widths of the S-wave ($\eta_{Q\in c,b}$) and P-wave ($\chi_{Q\in c,bJ}$) charmonium and bottonium states and the radiative transition decay widths of $c\bar c$, $b\bar b$ and $c\bar b$…

We report on a study of the invariant mass spectrum of the hadronic system in the decay tau- -> pi- pi0 nu_tau. This study was performed with data obtained with the CLEO II detector operating at the CESR e+ e- collider. We present fits to…

New measurements of the masses and decay branching fractions of charmonium and bottomonium states using the data collected by the CLEO detector are presented. These include CLEO identification of the singlet states eta_c'(2S), hc(1P), and…

The heavy quarkonia (Charmonium \(c\bar{c}\) and Bottomonium \(b\bar{b}\)) are investigated in the framework of the instantaneous BS-equation (Salpeter equation). We parametrize confinement alternatively by a linearly rising scalar or a…

We study the changes in the partial decay widths of excited charmonium states into $D \bar{D}$, when the D meson mass decreases in nuclear matter, taking the internal structure of the hadrons into account. Calculations within the 3P0 model…

We have fully reconstructed decays of both B0 and B- Mesons into final states containing either D, D*, D**, Psi, Psi', or Chi_{c1} mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the…
