The ratio of the $K^{+}\to \pi^{0} \mu^{+} \nu$ ($K_{\mu3}^+$) and $K^{+}\to \pi^{0} e^{+} \nu$ ($K_{e3}^+$) decay widths, $\Gamma(K_{\mu 3})/\Gamma(K_{e3})$, has been measured with stopped positive kaons. $K_{\mu3}^+$ and $K_{e3}^+$…

Properties of $2^{-+}$ charmonium $\eta_{c2}$ are investigated in quenched lattice QCD. The mass of $\eta_{c2}$ is determined to be 3.80(3) GeV, which is close to the mass of $D$-wave charmonium $\psi(3770)$ and in agreement with quark…

The processes $\psi(2S)\to \gamma \pi^+ \pi^-$, $\gamma K^+ K^-$ and $\gamma p \bar{p}$ have been studied using a sample of $3.7 \times 10^6$ produced $\psi(2S)$ decays. We determine the total width of the $\chi_{c0}$ to be…

We observe a narrow enhancement near 2m_p in the invariant mass spectrum of p\bar{p} pairs from radiative J/psi-->gamma p\bar{p} decays. No similar structure is seen in J/psi-->pi0 p\bar{p} decays. The results are based on an analysis of a…

The $\phi$(1020) meson leptonic width has been determined from the combined analysis of 4 major decay modes of the resonance ($\phi\to K^+ K^-,K^0_LK^0_S,\pi^+\pi^-\pi^0,\eta\gamma$) studied with the CMD-2 detector at the VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$…

We systematically investigate the mass spectrum and two-body open-charm strong decays of charmonium states in a coupled-channel model where the $^3P_0$ quark-antiquark pair creation mechanism is employed. The results of masses, mass shifts,…

We calculate the corrections to the three-gluon decay widths $\Gamma_{3g}$ of $c\bar c$ and $b \bar b$ quarkonia due to the finite extension of the $Q\bar Q\to 3g$ vertex function. The widths computed with zero range vertex are reduced by a…
