With the help of the largest data samples of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ events ever produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, the three singlet charmonium states, $\eta_c(1S)$, $\eta_c(2S)$ and $h_c(1P)$, have been extensively studied at the BESIII…
We search for the weak decays $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\pi^+ + c.c.$ and $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\rho^+ + c.c.$ for the first time. The search is based on $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times 10^6$ events containing the charmonium state $\psi(2S)$ collected at the…
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…
Inspired by the recent measurements on the $J/{\psi}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $D_{s}{\rho}$, $D_{u}K^{\ast}$ weak decays at BESIII and the potential prospects of the charmonium at the high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, we study ${\psi}(1S,2S)$…
Recent results obtained from the BES psi(2S) data are summarized, including the measurement of the branching ratio of the J/psi to leptons, B(J/psi -> l^+ l^-) = 5.87 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.09, many psi(2S) and chi_c branching ratios, information…

Monte Carlo simulations for charmonium(-like) states at the planned PANDA experiment are presented, in particular the search for the $h_c'$, the search for the $^3F_4$ state and the search for the rare decay Y(4260)$\rightarrow$$e^+$$e^-$.
We perform a measurement of the CP asymmetry in b->sgamma decays using a sample of 383 BB events collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory. We reconstruct sixteen flavor-specific B decay modes containing a…
We study the two-body decays of B^\pm mesons to K^\pm and a charmonium state, X_{c\bar c}, in a sample of 210.5 fb^{-1} of data from the BaBar experiment. We perform measurements of absolute branching fractions BR(B^\pm --> K^\pm X_{c\bar…
In 2009, the BESIII experiment has collected about 225M $\jpsi$ and 106M $\psip$ samples, both of which are the world largest on-peak charmonium production. Based on these dataset, BESIII has made great effort on the study of the charmonium…
We present results from BABAR experiment for the measurement of inclusive and exclusive branching fractions of B mesons into final states containing $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$ and $\chi_c$. The contributions of CP even and odd amplitudes in the…
We study the production of charmonium hybrids in B decays. We use the operator product expansion and nonrelativistic QCD to organize the various contributions to this process. We express the decay rate in terms of a few matrix elements…
Using a sample of $(10087\pm44) \times 10^{6}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the first evidence for the doubly OZI-suppressed decay $\eta_{c} \to \omega\phi$ is reported with a significance of…
