The first observation of the $\Xi_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- \pi^+$ decay and the most precise measurement of the branching fraction of the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- K^+$ decay are reported, using proton-proton collision data from the LHCb…
We describe searches for B meson decays to the charmless vector-vector final states omega K*, omega rho, omega omega, and omega phi with 233 times 10^{6} BB pairs produced in e+e- annihilation at sqrt{s}=10.58 GeV. We also search for the…
We report a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $B^0 \to K^0_sK^0_sK^0_s ,$ where the $K^0_s$ mesons are reconstructed through the decay $K^0_s\to\pi^+ \pi^- .$ The measurement was performed on a sample of…

The $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first…
An amplitude analysis of ${B^0\to (\pi^+\pi^-) (K^+\pi^-)}$ decays is performed in the two-body invariant mass regions ${300 < m(\pi^+\pi^-)<1100}$ MeV/$c^2$, accounting for the $\rho^0$, $\omega$, $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1370)$…
Since the discovery of the X(3872) in 2003 the B-factory experiments BaBar and Belle have been driving forces in the spectroscopy of new charmonium-like states. In this article the latest results on the decays X(3872) -> D0 D*0bar and…
We calculate the masses of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation effects.…

We use QCD spectral sum rules to test the nature of the meson X(3872), assumed to be an exotic four-quark (c\bar{c}q\bar{q}) state with J^{PC}=1^{++}. For definiteness, we work with the current proposed recently by Maiani et al [1], at…

A resonance X(3872), first observed in the decays $B \to K X$, has been seen to decay to $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The $\pi^+ \pi^-$ mass spectrum peaks near its kinematic upper limit, prompting speculation that the dipion system may be in a…
The charmless decay processes of $X(3872)$ provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $X(3872)$. Based on a molecular nature of $X(3872)$ as a $\bar{D}D^*$ bound state, we have investigated the charmless…
