Many new results on open and hidden charm spectroscopy have been obtained recently. We present a short review of the experimental findings in the meson sector, of the theoretical interpretations and of the open problems, with a discussion…
Some recent CDF results on heavy quarks (mainly $b$) are presented, including baryon masses and lifetimes, CP violation in charmless baryon decays, $B_c$ production, $A_{FB}$ at high $m(b \bar b)$, and excited $B$ mesons. Typographic…
Since 2003 many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally. Especially those charged charmonium-like $Z_c$ states and bottomonium-like $Z_b$ states cannot be accommodated within the naive quark model, which are good candidates of…
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…
In the past twenty years, many new hadrons that are difficult to be explained within the conventional quark model have been discovered in the quarkonium region, which are called exotic hadrons. Belle II experiment, as the next-generation…
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Tevatron ppbar collider have pioneered and established the role of flavor physics in hadron collisions. A broad program is now at its full maturity. We report on three new results sensitive to physics…
The large data sample accumulated by the Belle experiment at KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+ e^-$ collider provides opportunities to study charmonia (bottomonia) and charmonium-like (bottomonium-like) exotic particles. In this review, we report…
The $B$-factories provide rich opportunities to search for new phenomena, in $B$, charm, and tau decays. Presented here is a selection of recent results from Belle and Babar.
The current status of the experimental knowledge of $\Bs$ meson physics is reviewed. Results from LEP and CDF on the width difference $\dgs$ are presented, the corresponding average is found to be in good agreement with the present…
It is pointed out that the narrow charmonium state at 3871.8 MeV reported by the Belle collaboration is likely to be a $D\bar D^*$ deuteronlike meson-meson state called a deuson. It was predicted near the $D\bar D^*$ threshold over 10 years…
Recent studies of charmed baryon spectroscopy, performed by the Belle collaboration, are briefly described. We report the observation of an isotriplet of baryons $\Sigma_c(2800)$ and evidence for two new baryons $\Xi_{cx}(2980)$ and…
Early B-physics experiments have left us with a number of puzzles in heavy flavour physics. New lattice calculations (with a greater understanding of QCD effects in the Standard Model) will be needed to support the increase in experimental…
During the last decade, the CDF and D\O\ experiments at the Tevatron have been pursuing an extensive heavy flavor spectroscopy program that provides significant advancements in the understanding of masses of ground state and orbitally…
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 present the proceedings of the lectures given at the 2008 Helmholtz International Summer School Heavy Quark Physics at the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics in Dubna. In two lectures we present recent results from the existing…
We confront predictions for hybrid charmonium and other gluonic excitations in the charm region with recently observed structures in the mass range above 3 GeV. The Y(4260), if resonant, is found to agree with expectations for hybrid…
We present a systematic and selfconsistent analysis of four-quark charmonium states and applied it to study compact four-quark systems and meson-meson molecules. Our results are robust and should serve to clarify the situation of charmonium…
I give a brief account of current topics in description of exotic multiquark mesonic resonances with hidden heavy ($c$ or $b$) flavor, the so-called XYZ states, in terms of hadronic molecules and hadro-quarkonium systems. Also discussed are…
A summary of recent results from ZEUS is presented. New ZEUS results from HERA-1 data include Structure Functions, QCD fits, analysis of hadronic final states, precision measurements of alpha_s, production of heavy flavor mesons and baryons…
We present results and prospects for searches for rare B and D meson decays with final state dimuons, including B_s\to\mu\mu, B_d\to\mu\mu, and D\to\mu\mu. Upper limits on the branching fractions are compared to previous CDF measurements,…
