We perform a study of exclusive production of$D^+_sD^-_s$, $D^{*+}_sD^-_s$, and $D^{*+}_sD^{*-}_s$ final states in initial-state-radiation events from $e^+ e^-$ annihilations at a center-of-mass energy near 10.58 GeV, to search for…
In the quark model, hadrons are dominantly bound states of quark-antiquark pairs (mesons) or three quarks (baryons), but QCD also allows hadronic states to be composed of more quarks bound together. Recently, BESIII, Belle and LHCb have…
We propose to investigate various charmonium states using their common decay channel to p pbar at LHC. Having the branching ratios for charmonium decaying into the p pbar final state measured or calculated, we propose to measure the…

We search for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{-} \chi_{cJ}$ ($J=0,1,2$) and for a charged charmonium-like state in the $\pi ^{\pm} \chi_{cJ}$ subsystem. The search uses data sets collected with the BESIII detector at the…
We present branching fraction and CP asymmetry results for a variety of charmless B decays based on up to 124 fb^-1 collected by the BABAR experiment running near the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the PEP-II e+e- B-factory.
We argue that the resonance-like structures Y(4260) (arXiv:hep-ex/0506081,arXiv:0707.2541), Y(4360), Y(4660) (arXiv:0707.3699) and Y(4635) (arXiv:0807.4458), which were recently reported to have been observed in experiment, are non-resonant…
A search for charmonium and other new states is performed in a study of exclusive initial-state-radiation production of D Dbar events from electron-positron annihilations at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. The data sample corresponds…

We use a sample of 384 million BBbar decays collected with the Babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric e+e- storage ring to study the flavor-changing neutral current decays B->K(*)l+l-, where l+l- is either e+e- or mu+mu-. We present…
