We propose that the $X(3915)$ observed in the $J/\psi\,\omega$ channel is the same state as the $\chi_{c2}(3930)$, and the $X(3960)$, observed in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ channel, is an $S$-wave $D_s^+ D_s^-$ hadronic molecule. In addition, the…
By using a combined amplitude analysis of the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow D\bar{D}$ and $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow J/\psi\omega$ data, we demonstrate that the $X(3915)$, which is quoted as a $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ state in the Particle Data Group…
We discuss the production of $D \bar{D}$ pairs in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, where $D$ refers to either $D^0$ or $D^+$. The continuum mechanism with the $t/u$-channel vector-meson $D^*$ exchanges are considered. The results of the calculation…
A thorough study of the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ elastic $D^{0}\bar{D}^{\ast0}$ and $D^{+}D^{\ast-}$ scattering, where the form of the meson-meson interaction is inferred from lattice QCD calculations of string breaking, is carried out for…
We study the radiative decays $Z_c(3900)/Z_c(4020) \to \gamma \chi_{cJ}(\gamma\chi_{cJ}^\prime)$ ($J=0, 1, 2$), with the assumption that the $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ couple strongly to $D\bar D^* +c.c$ and $D^*{\bar D}^*$ channel,…
Pole trajectories connecting light and heavy scalar mesons, both broad resonances and quasi-bound states, are computed employing a simple coupled-channel model. Instead of varying the coupling constant as in previous work, quark and meson…
The mass and width of the lightest scalar open-charm state listed in the Review of Particle Physics, the $D_0^\ast(2300)$, are in puzzling tension with predictions from unitarized chiral perturbation theory (UChPT) and lattice QCD, which…
We present a measurement of the B0 --> Lambda-bar p pi- branching fraction performed using the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- collider. Based on a sample of 467 million BB-bar pairs we measure B(B0 --> Lambda-bar p pi-) =…
We search for a charged partner of the X(3872) in the decay B --> X- K, X- --> J/psi pi- pi0, using 234 million BBbar events collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II e+e- asymmetric-energy storage ring. The…
The observation of $Z_c(3900)$ by the BESIII collaboration in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi\pi^\pm$ in $e^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ at the center of mass 4.260 GeV suggests the existence of a charged $\bar D D^*+D\bar D^*$…
Motivated by recent experimental observations of charmonium(-like) states, we investigate their interpretation as conventional charmonium states within the framework of relativized quark potential model. We find a consistent description of…
We report a search for $X(3872)$ and $X(3915)$ in $B^+ \to \chi_{c1} \pi^0 K^+$ decays. We set an upper limit of $\mathcal{B}(B^+ \to X(3872) K^+) \times \mathcal{B}(X(3872) \to \chi_{c1} \pi^0)$ $ < 8.1 \times 10^{-6}$ and $\mathcal{B}(B^+…
We perform a unified description of the experimental data of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ and $J/\psi\pi^\pm$ invariant mass spectra for $e^+e^- \rightarrow J/\psi \pi^+\pi^-$ and the $D^0 D^{\ast-}$ mass spectrum for $e^+e^- \rightarrow D^0 D^{\ast-}…
We identify open charm effects in a direct production process $e^+e^-\to J/\psi \pi^0$. A unique feature of this process is that the $D\bar{D}^*+c.c.$ threshold is located at a relatively isolated energy region, i.e. $\sim 3.876 \…
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…
We report on the search for the factorization suppressed decays B -> chi_c0 K(*) and B -> chi_c2 K(*), with chi_c0 and chi_c2 decaying into J/psi gamma. We use a sample of 124 million BBbar events collected with the BABAR detector at the…

A search for charmed baryons decaying to $D^0 p$ reveals two states: the $\Lambda_c(2880)^+$ baryon and a previously unobserved state at a mass of [$2939.8\pm 1.3 \text{(stat.)}\pm 1.0 \text{(syst.)}$]~\mevcc and with an intrinsic width of…
Data on e+ e- --> J/psi pi+ pi- and the X(4260) enhancement by the BABAR collaboration [ arXiv:hep-ex/0506081, arXiv:0808.1543 ] are analysed by modelling missing signals that should be present in the complete production amplitude with…
The data on the pi- p --> M0 n, with M0 = pi0 pi0 pi0 or pi0 pi0 eta obtained in the GAMS experiment may be useful to study the sigma(400--700) and a_1^chi (1000), which can be taken as chiral partners of pi and rho, respectively. A…
