The BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric B factory observed its first hadronic events on the 26th of May 1999. We present the progress made so far on the data taking, the BABAR detector performances and the physics analyses.
We report on the analyses of the baryonic B decays B0bar -> LambdaC+ p- p+ p- and B- -> SigmaC++ p- pi- pi-. The underlying data sample consists of 470 x 10^6 BBbar pairs generated in the process e+e- -> Y(4S) and collected with the BaBar…
Fermilab experiment E835 has done an extensive set of studies on charmonium triplet P states. The most precise measurements on mass and total width come indeed from charmonium spectroscopy by direct formation of $c\bar{c}$ states in…
We present a search for B decays to charmless final states involving charged or neutral a0 mesons. The data sample corresponds to 89 million BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector operating at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory…
An overview is given on recent progress in the study of quarkonium spectroscopy at the B-factories. In particular, an updated status report is presented of the long list of "charmonium-like" resonances newly discovered, whose assignment as…
The BaBar experiment and the PEP-II accelerator at SLAC started to take data on May 26, 1999. By the time of this conference, the recorded integrated luminosity was 20 fb^{-1}, of which 8 fb^{-1} were analyzed to provide a first set of…
Production and decay of $\Omega_c^0$ baryons is studied with $\sim230 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ asymmetric-energy storage ring at SLAC. The $\Omega_c^0$ is reconstructed through its…
Based on the data samples collected at the energies of $J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$ and $\psi(4040)$ resonances with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we present charmonium decays in two aspects. One is the search for…
We present a search for the decay B^0 --> pi^0 pi^0 by the BABAR experiment at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory at SLAC. Using approximately 88 million B bar{B} pairs collected between 1999 and 2002, we place a 90% confidence level…
We present a measurement of the cross section of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^+pi^-\psi(2S)$ from threshold up to 8 GeV center-of-mass energy using events containing initial-state radiation, produced at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$ storage rings. The…
We review recent charmonium and bottomonium spectroscopy results from the B-factories Belle and \babar. A particular focus is given to the new $\eta_{c}(1S)$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)$ measurement and to the radiative transitions from $\Upsilon…
We summarize results on a number of observations of penguin dominated radiative decays of the B meson. Such decays are forbidden at tree level and proceed via electroweak loops. As such they may be sensitive to physics beyond the standard…
The calculation of D-wave charmonium prodution rates in B meson deacys under the NRQCD factorization formalism is presented. We find that inclusion of the color-octet contributions permits us to detect the D-wave charmonium states in B…
The BESIII Experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) collected large data samples for electron-positron collisions with center-of-mass above 4 GeV. The analysis of these samples has resulted in a number of surprising…
The QCD mechanisms underlying the exclusive strong decays and hadronic production amplitudes of charmonium remain poorly understood, despite decades of study and an increasingly detaled body of experimental information. One set of hadronic…
A number of charmonium-(bottmonium-)like states have been observed in $B$-factory experiments. Recently the BESIII experiment has joined this search with a unique data sample collected at the different center of mass energies ranging from…
Cross sections of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^0\pi^0 J/\psi$ at center-of-mass energies between 3.808 and 4.600 GeV are measured with high precision by using 12.4 $fb^{-1}$ of data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the…
We review the recent experimental results on the exotic charmoniumlike states. Among them we discuss the X(3872), Y(3940), Z^\pm(4430) and Z^\pm_{1,2} states found in B-meson decays, the X(3940) and X(4160) states produced in double…
Many newly discovered mesons behave like $\ccbar$ charmonium states in that they preferentially decay into final states that contain a $c$- and a $\bar{c}$-quark, but do not fit expectations for any of the unfilled levels of the…
The BABAR detector, which operates at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric e^+e^- collider at energies near the Y(4S) resonance, started operation on the 26th of May 1999. We present the first study of sin2beta, with samples of B0 --> J/psi K0S and…
