The study of electron-positron collisions at center-of-mass energies corresponding to charmonium production has reached new levels of sensitivity thanks to experiments by the BES and CLEO Collaborations. Final states $\gamma P$, where $P$…
Spin-parity analyses of the $\omega\pi$ system in the reaction $\gamma p \to (\omega\pi) p$ for photon laboratory energies from 20 to 70 GeV have shown that production of the $J^P=1^+$ $b_1(1235)$ meson dominates, with a $J^P=1^-$…
We discuss the strong couplings $g_{PPV}$ and $g_{VVP}$ for vector ($V$) and pseudoscalar ($P$) mesons, at least one of which is a charmonium state $J/\psi$ or $\eta_c$. The strong couplings are obtained as residues at the poles of suitable…

Recent measurements of the branching ratios for the decays $\omega\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ and $\rho^0\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma$ lead to coupling constants of the $V\sigma\gamma$-interaction ($V$ is a vector meson) one order of magnitude smaller than…
Exceptional points (EPs), i.e. branch point singularities of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, are ubiquitous in optics. So far, the signatures of EPs have been mostly studied assuming classical light. In the passive parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$)…
