We calculate the masses of $\chi_{\rm c}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. The model was recently applied to the description of the properties of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ multiplets [Phys.\…
A potential quark model is used to search for a $P_{c\bar{c}s}^0=(c\bar{c}uds)^0$, $J^P=1/2^-$ pentaquark state that has recently been observed experimentally by the LHCb collaboration at 4338.2 MeV, with a width of 7.0 MeV and high…
The experimentally known $B_c$ states are all below open bottom-charm threshold, which experience three main decay modes, and all induced by weak interaction. In this work, we investigate the mass spectrum and strong decays of the $B_c(3S)$…
Many theories beyond the Standard Model predict new phenomena which decay to well isolated, high-$p_{\text{T}}$ leptons. Searches for new physics with these signatures are performed using the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The results…
The first observation of a new b baryon via its strong decay into Xi(b)^- pi^+ (plus charge conjugates) is reported. The measurement uses a data sample of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC,…
A search for the pair production of heavy leptons as predicted by the type-III seesaw mechanism is presented. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to 139 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated…
We report the first observation of a narrow charmmonium state produced in the exclusive decay process B+->K+ pi+pi- J/psi. This state, which decays into pi+pi-J/psi, has a mass of 3871.8+-0.7(stat)+-0.4(syst) MeV, which is very near the M_D…
We search for invisible decays of the Upsilon(1S) meson using a sample of 91.4 x 10^{6} Upsilon(3S) mesons collected at the BaBar/PEP-II B-factory. We select events containing the decay Upsilon(3S) -> pi+ pi- Upsilon(1S) and search for…
With over 45/pb of 7 TeV pp collisions recorded, the ATLAS Standard Model physics program is well under way. These proceedings survey the latest tests of the Standard Model at this unprecedented energy scale. An overview of recent ATLAS…
This is an extension of recent studies for $\Upsilon(nS), n=1,2,3,$ and $J/\Psi(1S),\Psi(2S)$ production at the LHC in pp collisions, and with the ALICE detector at 7.0 TeV, with new predictions at 8.0 TeV
We estimate differential rapidity cross sections for $J/\Psi$, $\Psi(2S)$, $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, and $\Upsilon(3S)$ production via Pb-Pb collisions at proton-proton energy $\equiv \sqrt{s_{pp}}$ =5.02 TeV. For the $\Psi(2S)$,…
Recent results from lattice QCD simulations provide a realistic picture, based upon first principles, of~$\Upsilon$ physics. We combine these results with the experimentally measured mass of the $\Upsilon$~meson to obtain an accurate and…
The resonance D*_sJ (2317) which is considered to be the 1^3P_0 state composed of charm and strange quarks has been discovered recently. The measured mass, which is about 160 MeV lower than the mass of the 1^3P_0 state obtained from the…
$\pi^+\pi^-$ transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the $ \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the $S$ wave $\pi\pi$ final state interaction (FSI) is…
In this note we discuss a determination for the mass of the Ds(0+,1+) system recently discovered by the BaBar, CLEO II and Belle Collaborations. The value of the mass is derived by making explicit the prediction obtained in a quark-meson…
Using 420 pb^-1 of data collected on the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the CLEO III detector, we reconstruct B mesons in 25 exclusive decay channels to measure or set upper limits on the decay rate of Upsilon(5S) into B meson final states. We…
We consider the properties of the ground state of bottomium. The $\Upsilon$ mass is evaluated to two loops, and including leading higher order [$O(\alpha_s^5\log\alpha_s)$] and $m_c^2/m_b^2$ corrections. This allows us to present updated…
