The recent high statistics measurement of the pp -> pp eta reaction at an excess energy Q=15.5 MeV has been analysed by means of partial wave decomposition of the cross section. Guided by the dominance of the final state 1S0 pp interaction…
The energies and transition rates to $J=1^{+} T=1$ and $J=2^{+} T=0,1$ states in ^{12}C with matrix elements fitted to realistic $G$ matrix elements obtained in non-relativistic approaches are studied. Then the effects of varying the…
We report preliminary measurements of the branching fractions for B+ -> J/psi phi K+, B0 -> J/psi phi K0S, B0 -> J/psi phi, B0 -> J/psi eta and B -> J/psi eta' using 56 million BBbar events collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR…
We study the observed enhancement of a $p\bar p$ system near the threshold in the process $J/\psi \to \gamma p\bar p$ and $e^+ e^- \to p\bar p$. From early studies the enhancement can be explained by final state interactions, which are in…
The observed J/psi suppression in Pb+Pb collisions shows a drop at those large values of the transverse energy E_T which arise from fluctuations. The validity of existing models for J/psi suppression can be extended into this domain of E_T…
Recently the BES collaboration has announced observation of a resonant state in the $\pi^+\pi^- \eta'$ spectrum in $J/\psi \to \gamma \pi^+\pi^-\eta'$ decay. Fitting the data with a $0^{-+}$ state, the mass is determined to be 1833.7 MeV…
The eta-deuteron scattering amplitude is calculated with a recent K-matrix model of eta-N interactions. The existence of a narrow virtual state in the eta-deuteron system is inferred. This state couples strongly to the eta-d channel but its…
We study the role played by the final-state interactions (fsi) in heavy quark decays using Pomeron and Regge exchanges to describe high energy scattering. At center of mass energy $\sqrt{s}\sim 5GeV $, Pomeron dominance does not apply. We…
Based on $2.7 \times 10^9~\psi(3686)$ decays collected with the BESIII detector, the radiative decay $\psi(3686)\to\gamma2(\pi^{+}\pi^{-})\eta$ is investigated to measure properties of S- and P-wave charmonium states. The branching fraction…
The effects of the final state interaction (FSI) in semi-exclusive deep-inelastic scattering of electrons off the deuteron are analyzed paying particular attention to two extreme kinematical regions: i) the one where FSI effects are…
The importance of measuring the non-$D \bar D$ decays of the $\psi'' = \psi(3770)$ resonance is discussed. These decays can shed light on a possible discrepancy between the total and $D \bar D$ cross sections at the $\psi''$, and on a…
We use soft collinear effective field theory (SCET) to study nonperturbative strong interaction effects in Z decays to hadronic final states that are enhanced in corners of phase space. These occur, for example, in the jet energy…
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…
Assuming that $X(3872)$ is a mixture between $2P$ charmonium and $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, an analysis of $X(3872)$ radiative decays into $J/\psi \gamma$ and $\psi(2S)\gamma$ is presented. The modification of the…
We report study of B+- to J/psi eta K+- decays at Belle. In this analysis we search for X(3872) as well as other narrow resonances in the J/psi eta final state.
Observed decay rates indicate large phase differences among the amplitudes for the charge states in $D \to \bar K \pi$ and $D \to \bar K^* \pi$ but relatively real amplitudes in the charge states for $D \to \bar K \rho$. This feature is…
It is argued that the branching ratio for the decay chi_{b0}(2P) -> eta eta_b can reach few permil as a result of the enhancement of the eta emission by the axial anomaly in QCD. This might make the discussed process practical for an…
Results are reported based on samples of 58 million $\jpsi$ and 14 million $\psip$ decays obtained by the BESII experiment. Improved branching fraction measurements are determined, including branching fractions for $\jpsi\to\ppp$, $\psip\ra…
