We confirm the results of previous works that the internal motion of quarks inside charmonium mesons increases the cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to $J/\psi\eta_c$. We also show, that this effect increases the widths of the scalar…
Recently, the BESIII experiment performed a measurement of the energy-dependent Born cross section and the effective form factor for the $e^+e^-\to\Omega^-\bar\Omega^+$ reaction at center-of-mass energies ranging from 3.4 to 4.7 GeV. A fit…
This is a mini-summary of recent experimental results on B to charmonium decays.
We study the decays of the charmonium resonances $J/\psi$ and $\psi(3686)$ to the final states $\Xi^{-}\bar\Xi^{+}$, $\Sigma(1385)^{\mp}\bar\Sigma(1385)^{\pm}$ based on a single baryon tag method using data samples of $(223.7 \pm 1.4)…
Mass spectrum of charmonium is computed in the framework of potential non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics. \textit{O}$(1/m)$ and \textit{O}$(1/m^2)$ relativistic corrections to the Cornell potential and spin-dependent potential have…
In recent years the B-factories and other machines have found evidence for a large number of new states with hidden charm: candidate h_c(1P), eta_c(2S), and chi_{c2}(2P) states; the well-established X(3872); enhancements called X(3940),…
Using 8.5M B-anti-B events recorded by the BABAR detector the yield of inclusive J/psi, the branching ratios of psi(2S) and chi_C1 are presented. Combining the charmonium state with either a K+,KS, K*+ or K*0 exclusive B decays are…
We use a simple perturbation theory argument and measurements of charmonium leptonic widths $\Gamma (\psi_{NS} \rightarrow e^+e^-)$ to estimate the ratio \mbox{$R_\circ \equiv {\vert \Psi _{\eta_{c1S}}(0) \vert}^2 /{\vert\Psi_{\psi_{1…
The $P$-wave charmonium decays $h_{c}\rightarrow\gamma\eta^{(\prime)}$ are revisited by taking into account relativistic corrections. The decay amplitudes are derived in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, in which the involved one-loop integrals…
We analyze nonleptonic $B_s$ decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the $b \to c {\bar c}s$ transition, which are useful to access the $B_s$-${\bar B}_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$. We use generalized factorization and…
The decays $\chi_{cJ}\to\Sigma^{0}\bar{p}K^{+}+{\rm c.c.}~(J = 0, 1, 2)$ are studied via the radiative transition $\psi(3686)\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}$ based on a data sample of $(448.1 \pm 2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the…
Using the inclusive photon spectrum based on a data sample collected at the $J/\psi$ peak with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider, we measured the rate of the radiative decay $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_{\rm c}$ as well as…

We report branching fraction measurements for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium meson. We use a sample of 22.72 +/- 0.36 million B anti-B events collected between October…
The decay $B_c^+ \to \psi(2S)\pi^+$ with $\psi(2S) \to \mu^+\mu^-$ is observed with a significance of $5.2\,\sigma$ using $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.0\,\invfb$ collected by the LHCb experiment. The…
We compute the hadronic matrix element relevant to the physical radiative decay $\eta_{c}(2S)\to J/\psi\gamma$ by means of lattice QCD. We use the (maximally) twisted mass QCD action with Nf=2 light dynamical quarks and from the…
While experiment produced a candidate for the 1^P_1 chamonium in the past, it still requires a confirmation. Given the recent progress in the exclusive B decay into charmonia, we now have an opportunity to detect this charmonium (h_c) by…
The radiative decays of the B mesons may have a significant contribution from the transition b -> s J/psi followed by the J/psi-photon conversion. The size of this contribution is re-analysed in the light of a phenomenological model for the…
We report the observation of $\Upsilon(2S)\to\gamma\eta_{b}(1S)$ decay based on analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of $24.7$ fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the $\Upsilon(2S)$ center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle…
We report the first observation of the radiative transition h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma, where the h_b(1P) is produced in Upsilon(5S)->h_b(1P)pi+pi- dipion transitions. We measure the eta_b(1S) mass to be (9401.0+-1.9+1.4-2.4)MeV/c^2 with a…
