We report the first observation of a new charmonium state at a mass of $(3.943 \pm 0.006 \pm 0.006) {GeV}/c^2$. This state, called X(3940), is observed in the process $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi X(3940)$ in the spectrum of masses recoiling against…
We present a search for the decay $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ in the $(772\pm11)\times10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S)\to B \bar B$ data sample collected at the Belle detector, where the $X(3872)$ is produced in $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}X(3872)$ and…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN observed new resonance $X(4630)$. The $X(4630)$ is decoded as a charmoniumlike molecule with hidden-strange quantum number well in the one boson exchange mechanism.…
The review on experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like spectroscopy from B-factories is presented. Main theoretical interpretations, such as conventional charmonium, molecular state, hybrids, tetraquarks and others are…
If the $X(3872)$ is described by the picture as a mixture of the charmonium and molecular $D^{\ast} D$ states; $Y(3940)$ as a mixture of the $\chi_{c0}$ and $D^\ast D^\ast$ states; and $X(4260)$ as a mixture of the tetra-quark and…
We present results on the X(3872), produced in $B^+ \to X(3872) K^+$ and $B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S$ decays where $X(3872) \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. We report the first statistically significant observation of $B^0 \to X(3872) K^0_S$ and measure…
We present results from a study of X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays produced via exclusive B--> K X(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M_X(3872)= (3871.84\pm 0.27 (stat)\pm 0.19 (syst)) MeV, a 90% CL upper limit on the natural width…
Charmonium(-like) or bottomonium(-like) states, which are incompatible with predictions from a static quark anti-quark potential model, are often refered to as XYZ states. In this lecture, some peculiar properties of states such as the…
We study the spectral function of the axial-vector charmonium state $\chi_{c1}(2P)$ coupled to $DD^{\ast}$ mesons, by employing a quantum field theoretical approach: a pronounced enhancement close to the $D^{0}% D^{\ast0}$ threshold, to be…
We report the first determination of the absolute branching fractions of the X(3872) decays by globally analyzing the measurements provided by the Belle, BaBar, BESIII, and LHCb experiments. The branching fractions of X(3872) to pi^+pi^-…
Despite being extensively studied since their initial discovery in 2003, the XYZ states do not yet have a clear interpretation. BESIII recently collected additional data above 4 GeV which can be used to further study these exotic hadron…
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…
We study the rare B meson decays B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ K^+ K^- K{+-,0}, B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ \phi\ K{+-,0}, and search for B0 --> J/\psi\ \phi, using 469 million BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at…
It has been argued that the mystery boson X(3872) is a molecule state consisting of primarily D0-D0*bar + D0bar-D*0. In contrast, apparent puzzles and potential difficulties have been pointed out for the charmonium assignment of X(3872). We…
We search for the $Z_1(4050)^+$ and $Z_2(4250)^+$ states, reported by the Belle Collaboration, decaying to $\chi_{c1} \pi^+$ in the decays $\bar B^0 \to \chi_{c1} K^- \pi^+$ and $B^+ \to \chi_{c1} K^0_S \pi^+$ where $\chi_{c1} \to \jpsi…
We study the contributions of the $B\rightarrow \psi(3770)K[\psi(3770)\rightarrow D\bar{D}]$, $B\rightarrow K^*(1410)\pi[K^*(1410)\rightarrow K\pi]$ and $B\rightarrow X(3872)K[X(3872)\rightarrow J/\psi\gamma, \psi(2S)\gamma, D\bar{D}\pi,…

I discuss the nature of the new charm and charmonium like states observed in the last few years and measurements that can test these assignments. In particular it appears that the X(3943) is the eta_c''(3^1S_0) which can be tested by…
We report the first observation of a narrow charmmonium state produced in the exclusive decay process B+->K+ pi+pi- J/psi. This state, which decays into pi+pi-J/psi, has a mass of 3871.8+-0.7(stat)+-0.4(syst) MeV, which is very near the M_D…
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…
