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…
Many unexpected charmonium-like states have recently been observed above the $D\overline{D}$ threshold, which features can't be explained by the conventional quark models. These states are known as XYZ mesons. The study of the radiative…
Topics in the description of the properties of charmonium states are reviewed with an emphasis on specific theoretical ideas and methods of relating those properties to the underlying theory of Quantum Chromodynamics.
A recent proposal of new sets of squeezed states is seen as a particular case of a general context admitting realistic physical Hamiltonians. Such improvements reveal themselves helpful in the study of associated squeezing effects.…
In the past decade, many new charmonium (or charmonium-like) and bottomonium (or bottomonium-like) states were observed experimentally. I will review these XYZ states which do not fit into the quark model spectrum easily.
The discovery in the last few years of the $X, Y$ and $Z$ states of the extended charmonium family has highlighted the importance of the closeness of decay channels to an understanding of these mesons. We aid this debate by illustrating a…
After commenting on the state of contemporary hadronic physics and spectroscopy, I highlight four areas where the action is: searching for the relevant degrees of freedom, mesons with beauty and charm, chiral symmetry and the D_{sJ} levels,…
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…
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),…
In this talk we present some recent studies of multiquark components in the charmonium sector. We study the possible existence of compact four quark-states and meson-meson molecules in the charmonium spectroscopy.
Recent experimental results in charm and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed.
In this talk, we present the recent study on the charmoniumlike states from the e^+e^- colliders, including BESIII, Belle, BaBar, and CLEOc. The talk covers the X(3872) from the Y(4260) radiative transition, the Y states from the…
Caution is suggested on the comparison of the spin-singlet charmonium P-state with the centre of gravity of triplet states, when the mass splitting is of the order of a few MeV. The physics of new hidden-charm states X and Y is briefly…
In this short review we present and discuss all the experimental information about the charged exotic charmonium states, which have been observed over the last five years. We try to understand their properties such as masses and decay…
The newly found states Y(4260), Y(4361), Y(4664) and Z$^\pm$(4430) stir broad interest in the study of spectroscopy in a typical charmonium scale. The Y(4260) which was observed earlier has been interpreted as hybrid, molecular state, and…
In this talk I review recent advances on the structure of the meson and baryon resonances which can be dynamically generated from the interaction of mesons or mesons and baryons. Particular emphasis is put on results involving vector…
We discuss the relative rates of different charmonium states and introduce an improved model for mapping the continuous ccbar mass spectrum on the physical charmonium resonances.
This contribution briefly discusses some new theoretical results for the properties of charmonium, especially the "higher charmonium" states above open-charm threshold. In particular we discuss the spectrum of states, open-flavor strong…
Many candidate multiquark mesons, i.e., mesons with substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark prescription that is in the textbooks, have recently been observed. Many of the most recently observed candidate states are…
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…
