The BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) has accumulated the world's largest samples of direct $e^+e^-$ collisions in the $\tau$-charm region. From the collected samples, which include $e^+e^-$ annihilations…
The charmonium spectrum is calculated with two nonrelativistic quark models, the linear potential model and the screened potential model. Using the obtained wavefunctions, we evaluate the electromagnetic transitions of charmonium states up…
In this talk, we will present the results on the charmonium spin singlet states below the open charm threshold, including h_c, \eta_c, and \eta_c(2S). The masses, widthes, and production rates of these states will be reported. The results…
Contrary to almost standard opinion that the X(3872) resonance is the D^{*0}\bar D^0+c.c. molecule or the qc\bar q\bar c four-quark state, we discuss the scenario where the X(3872)resonance is the c\bar c = \chi_{c1}(2P) charmonium which…
We present the results of an amplitude analysis of anti-B0 -> J/psi K- pi+ decays. A new charged charmoniumlike state Zc(4200)+ decaying to J/psi pi+ is observed with a significance of 6.2 sigma. The mass and width of the Zc(4200)+ are 4196…
The semileptonic decays of meson $B_c$ to a P-wave charmonium state $\chi_c(^3P_J)$ or $h_c(^1P_1)$ are computed. The results show that the decays are sizable so they are accessible in Tevatron and in LHC, especially, with the detectors…
Using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.9~fb$^{-1}$ collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at the center-of-mass energies of 4.84, 4.92, and 4.95~GeV, we search for the exotic…
We present updated measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in fully reconstructed neutral B decays containing a charmonium meson. The measurements reported here use a data sample of $(465\pm 5)\times 10^6$ $\Upsilon(4S) \to B \bar{B}$…
We present preliminary results on the measurement of the I=1/2 $K \pi$ $\mathcal{S}$-wave through a model independent partial wave analysis of $\eta_c$ decays to $K^0_S K^+ \pi^-$ and $K^+ K^- \pi^0$ produced in two-photon interactions. We…
For charmonium's decaying to the final states involving merely light quarks, in light of SU(3) flavor symmetry, a systematic parametrization scheme is established, which involving binary decays, ternary decays and radiative decays.
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 compute the decay rates and $H$-energy distributions of $B$ mesons into the final state $H+X$, where $H$ can be any one of the $S$-wave or $P$-wave charmonia, at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We find that a significant…
Recent BaBar results on rare B decays involving flavour-changing neutral currents are presented. New measurements of the CP asymmetries in $b \to s \gamma$ decays are reported as well as $b \to s l^+l^-$ branching ratio measurements.
Using samples of 102 million $\Upsilon(1S)$ and 158 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ event samples collected with the Belle detector, we report on the first search for charge-parity-even charmonium and charmonium-like states in $\Upsilon(1S)$ and…
It is suggested that the newly observed Y(4260) by BARBAR collaboration is a molecular state composed of an omega and a chi_{c1}. Both the production and decay properties are discussed. A consequence for this molecular state, Y(4260), is…
Vector charmonium states $J/\Psi$ and $\Psi'$ are copiously produced by $e^+e^-$ annihilations at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC). Their decays provide an excellent place for studying excited nucleons and hyperons -- $N^*$,…

We report on a search for the production of new resonance states in the process gamma gamma-->D Dbar. A candidate C-even charmonium state is observed in the vicinity of 3.93 GeV/c^2. The production rate and the angular distribution in the…
We present evidence for the exotic charged charmonium-like state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ in semi-inclusive weak decays of $b$-flavored hadrons. The signal is correlated with a $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$ system in the invariant mass range 4.2$-$4.7~GeV…
We outline a coherent strategy for exploring the four remaining narrow charmonium states [$\eta_{c}^{\prime}(2\slj{1}{1}{0})$, $h_{c}(1\slj{1}{2}{1})$, $\eta_{c2}(1\slj{1}{3}{2})$, and $\psi_{2}(1\slj{3}{3}{2})$] expected to lie below charm…
