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),…
The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ with $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-$, $\phi\to K^+K^-$ decays is performed with a data sample of 3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV with the LHCb…
We report on further evidence that the Y(3940) and the recently observed Y(4140) are heavy hadron molecule states with quantum numbers J(PC) = 0(++). The Y(3940) state is considered to be a superposition of D*(+)D*(-) and D*(0) barD*(0),…
We analyze various possible interpretations of the narrow state $D_{sJ}^+(2632)$ observed by SELEX Collaboration recently, which lies above threshold and has abnormal decay pattern. These interpretations include: (1) several versions of…
The charmonium-like states, Y(4260), Y(4350), produced via initial state radiation, as well as the X(3872), and Y(3940), produced in B meson decays from the BABAR B-factory are reviewed. These mesons do not seem consistent with conventional…
In this talk, I review the recent experimental developments on charmonium. These mainly include the precision measurements of spin-singlet states $\etac$, $\etac(2S)$, $h_c$, studies of the charmonium-like states X(3872) and the $Y$ states.…
The BESIII collaboration has discovered a new state with hidden charm-strange. Its mass is intriguingly close to the $ D_s\bar{D}_{s1} $ threshold and does not have the properties of the charmonium states. Working with the QCD sum rules…
The observation of the $Y(4140)$ structure in $B^\pm\rightarrow J/\psi\,\phi K^\pm$ decays produced in $\bar{p} p $ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96~\TeV$ is reported with a statistical significance greater than 5 standard deviations. A fit to…
I review the recent $B$-factory measurements of new states which, in some cases, exhibit Charmonium-like properties, and in other cases suggest the existence of a new spectroscopy. Several theoretical interpretations of the new states have…
In this work a comprehensive analysis of the mass spectrum and decay properties of charmonium states within a relativistic framework is carried out. The present experimental status of charmonium states is reviewed. Utilizing a screened…
Recent results on Charmonium decays are reviewed which includes two-, three- and four-body decays of $\chi_{cJ}$ states, observations of Y(4260) through $\pi\pi J/\psi$ transitions, precise measurements of $M(D^0)$, $M(\eta)$ as well as…
We review recent charmonium and charmonium-like state from the BaBar B-factory. A particular focus is given to the observation of the decay $X(3872) \to J/\psi \omega$ and to recent $\eta_{c}(1S)$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)$ results. The Observation…
Several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B-meson…
From a study of the X(3872) mass and width based on the world's largest sample of $X(3872)\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ decays, we find that our X(3872) signal is consistent with a single state, and leads to the most precise measurement of the…
Belle Collaboration has recently observed a new state, the X(4160), in the process of double charm production $e^+e^-\to J/\psi+X(4160)$ followed by $X(4160)\to D^*\bar{D^*}$. We discuss possible interpretations for the X(4160) based on the…
In this article, we assume that there exists a scalar $D_s^\ast {\bar D}_s^\ast$ molecular state in the $J/\psi \phi$ invariant mass distribution, and study its mass using the QCD sum rules. The predictions depend heavily on the two…
In this thesis, the QCD sum rules approach has been used to study the nature of the following charmonium resonances: Y(3930), Y(4140), X(4350), Y(4260), Y(4360) and Y(4660). There is a strong evidence that these states have non-conventional…
We review the recent experimental results on the exotic charmoniumlike states. Among them we discuss the X(3872), Y(3940), Z^\pm(4430) and Z^\pm_{1,2} states found in B-meson decays, the X(3940) and X(4160) states produced in double…
After discussing the various possible interpretations of the Y(4143) signal observed by the CDF collaboration in the $J/\psi \phi$ mode, we tend to conclude that Y(4143) is probably a $D_s^\ast {\bar D}_s^\ast$ molecular state with…
The proximity of ${\rm Z}^+(4430)$ to the ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ threshold suggests that it may be a ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ molecular state. The ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ system has been studied dynamically from quark model, and state mixing…
