We calculate the decay widths of the charmonium states, $J/\psi$, $\psi (3686)$ and $\psi(3770)$, to $D\bar D$ pairs, as well as the decay width of $D^* \rightarrow D\pi$, in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, using a field…

We investigate the in-medium masses of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons in the isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter at finite temperatures arising due to the interactions with the nucleons, the scalar isoscalar meson $\sigma$, and the scalar…

We study the charmonium dissociation in the hot medium with finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. Charmonium bound states are dissociated in the medium by the color screening effect and the random scatterings with thermal partons, which…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a new structure $P_{cs}(4459)$ with a mass of 19 MeV below the $\Xi_c \bar{D}^{*} $ threshold. It may be a candidate of molecular state from the $\Xi_c \bar{D}^{*} $ interaction. In the current…

We perform a theoretical analysis of the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ reaction from where a recent LHCb experiment extracts a $\Lambda(1405)$ contribution in the $K^- p$ spectrum close to threshold and two baryon states of hidden charm in…

Using purely phenomenological approach we show that the peaking structures observed in the psi(2S) pi+ and chi_c1 pi+ mass spectra in B -> psi(2S)(chi_c1) pi+ K decays can be result of (D \bar{D}^(*))+ -> (ccbar)_res pi+ rescattering in the…

Stimulated by the measurement of the $J\psi\phi$ decay model of $Y(4274)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we consider a possible interpretation of this state as a hadron molecular-a bound state of $D_s$ and $\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)$ mesons. Using…

The BESIII collaboration has discovered a new state with hidden charm-strange. Its mass is intriguingly close to the $ D_s\bar{D}_{s1} $ threshold and does not have the properties of the charmonium states. Working with the QCD sum rules…

We investigate the interactions of the $(\bar{c}q)(\bar{c}q)$/$(ccq)(\bar{c}q)$/$(ccq)(ccq)$ di-hadron systems based on a contact lagrangian possessing the SU(3) flavor and SU(2) spin symmetries. Under the assumptions of two scenarios for…

In this letter, we decode the newly observed charmoniumlike states, $Y(4320)$ and $Y(4390)$, by introducing interference effect between $\psi(4160)$ and $\psi(4415)$, which plays a role of resonance killer for $Y(4320)$ and $Y(4390)$. It…

Using data collected with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider at sqrt s = 3.97-4.26 GeV, we investigate 15 charmonium decay modes of the psi(4040), psi(4160), and Y(4260) resonances. We confirm, at 11$\sigma$ significance,…

We report the first observation of a new charmonium state at a mass of $(3.943 \pm 0.006 \pm 0.006) {GeV}/c^2$. This state, called X(3940), is observed in the process $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi X(3940)$ in the spectrum of masses recoiling against…

To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium…

Belle and BaBar experiments at the KEKB and PEP-II B-factories provide also an excellent environment for spectroscopy studies. In this report we present recent results in the field of charmonium spectroscopy, focusing on new charmonium-like…

Puzzling structures have been observed in the charmonium energy region, namely the $Y(4260)$ and the $Y(4360)$, that cannot be easily accommodated within quark model frameworks. The proximity of nearby dominant hadronic thresholds suggests…

Nonrelativistic quark models of charmonia are tested by comparison of theoretical charmonium decay constants, form factors, and $\gamma\gamma$ widths with experiment and lattice gauge computations. The importance of relativistic effects, a…

Although the spectra of heavy quarkonium systems has been successfully explained by certain QCD motivated potential models, their strong decays are difficult to deal with. We perform a microscopic calculation of charmonium strong decays…

New enhancements in the charmonium and bottomonium spectra observed since 2003 are very briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ (formerly $X(3872)$) owing to its remarkable proximity to the $\bar{D}^{\star0}\!D^0$…

We investigate the mass spectrum of the molecular pentaquarks composed of a baryon and a meson. We establish the underlying relations among the near-threshold interactions of the molecular tetraquark and pentaquark systems. We find the…

Inspired by the recent observation of the $D^0-\bar D^0$ mixing, we explore the effects of colored scalars on the $\Delta C=2$ process in diquark models. As an illustration, we investigate the diquarks with the quantum numbers of (6, 1,…
