Properties of Regge trajectories for charmonium are studied. Possible interpretations and their implications to newly observed X(3872) are examined. It is found that the mass of X(3872) is consistent with the 1^{++} 2^3P_1 and the 2^{-+}…

A sample of 3.79 million psi(2S) decays observed in the BES detector is used to study the decays of charmonium to axialvector plus pseudoscalar mesons. The branching fraction for psi(2S) to b1pi agrees with expectations. A contrasting…

The 1D2 charmonium assignment for the X(3872) meson is considered, as prompted by a recent result from the BABAR Collaboration, favouring 2-+ quantum numbers for the X. It is shown that established properties of the X(3872) are in a drastic…

Recent BABAR results on two-photon processes are presented. A high statistics study of the two-photon production of the charmonium states eta_c and eta_c(2S) is performed. The mass and width of eta_c and eta_c(2S) are measured; the ratio of…

We re-examine the re-scattering mechanism for the X(3872), as a candidate for the 2P charmonium state $\chi_{c1}(2P)$, decaying to $J/\psi\rho(\omega)$ through exchanging $D^{(*)}$ mesons between intermediate states $D(\bar{D})$ and…
