The ultimate aim of high energy heavy ion collisions is to study quark deconfinement and the quark-gluon plasma predicted by quantum chromodynamics. This requires the identification of observables calculable in QCD and measurable in heavy…
The masses and decay widths of charmonium states are studied in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The mixing between the pseudoscalar and vector charmonium states at rest is observed to lead to appreciable negative (positive) shifts…
Applying the HSD transport approach to charmonium dynamics within the 'hadronic comover model' and the 'QGP melting scenario', we show that the suppression pattern seen at RHIC cannot be explained by the interaction with baryons, comoving…
The medium modifications of the masses of the charmonium states (J/$\psi$, $\psi$(3686) and $\psi$(3770)) in asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of strong magnetic fields are studied using an effective chiral model. The mass…
A proposal for a three-year program of charm and QCD physics with the CLEO detector operating in the range of sqrt{s} = 3 - 5 GeV is presented. The CLEO-c program will include studies of semileptonic and hadronic charm decays, as well as…
The charmonium spectrum is calculated with two nonrelativistic quark models, the linear potential model and the screened potential model. Using the obtained wavefunctions, we evaluate the electromagnetic transitions of charmonium states up…
QCD-like theories can be engineered to remain in a confined phase when compactified on an arbitrarily small circle, where their features may be studied quantitatively in a controlled fashion. Previous work has elucidated the generation of a…
We consider the recently suggested model for some resonances near the open charm threshold as bound states of charmonium inside excited light mesons. It is argued in the soft-wall holographic model of QCD that such states of heavy…
Charmonium production and suppression in heavy-ion collisions at relativistic energies is investigated within different models, i.e. the comover absorption model, the threshold suppression model, the statistical coalescence model and the…
We study $\eta_{\rm c}$- and $J/\psi$-isoscalar meson bound states in the hadro-charmonium picture. In the hadro-charmonium, the four $q\bar q c \bar c$ quarks are arranged in terms of a compact charm-anticharm pair, $c \bar c$, embedded in…
In this report I review some results on the charmonium and light hadron spectroscopy mainly from BESIII and Belle experiments. For the charmonium, the contents include the observation of $\psi(4040)/\psi(4160) \to \eta \jpsi$, the…
Recently the LHCb experiment found evidence for the existence of two exotic resonances consisting of $c\bar{c}uud$ quarks. Among the possible interpretations is the hadro-charmonium model, in which charmonium is bound "within" a light…
We review the meson-exchange model for charmonium absorption by hadrons. This includes the construction of the interaction Lagrangians, the determination of the coupling constants, the introduction of form factors, and the predicted cross…
Hadronic decays of the P-wave spin-triplet charmonium states \chi_cJ (J=0,1,2) are studied using a sample of \psi(2S) decays collected by the BES detector operating at the BEPC storage ring. Branching fractions for the decays \chi_c1 going…
The Abelian decomposition of QCD which decomposes the gluons to the color neutral binding gluons and the colored valence gluons shows that QCD can be viewed as the restricted QCD (RCD) made of the binding gluons which has the valence gluons…
We study the semileptonic decays of the $B_c$ meson into final charmonium states within the standard model and beyond. The relevant hadronic transition form factors are calculated in the framework of the covariant confined quark model…
Production of J/$\psi$ from nucleus-nucleus reactions depends sensitively on the dissociation cross section with light hadrons. Effective lagrangian methods are used to describe the hadronic degrees of freedom, including strangeness and…
Recent CLEO-c results on open charm physics at the psi(3770) are presented. Measurements of hadronic and semileptonic branching fractions of the D0 and D+ mesons are discussed as well as the leptonic decay D+ to mu+ nu_mu and determination…
We present a lattice QCD study of dilepton production in charmonium transitions, specifically focusing on the $1^{+-} \to 0^{-+}$ and $1^{++} \to 1^{--}$ processes: $h_c \to \eta_c \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $\chi_{c1} \to J/\psi \ell^+ \ell^-$,…
Hadronic decays and transitions are a key ingredient of hadronic physics. I discuss how hadronic decays can be explored in lattice gauge theory and review studies undertaken. I also discuss the impact of decays on masses and how lattice…
