We study the baryonic charmonium decays of $B$ mesons, $B^+ \to \eta_c K^+$ and $B^+ \to J/\psi K^+$, where $\eta_c$ and $J/\psi$ subsequently decay into a $p\bar p$ or $\Lambda\bar\Lambda$ pair. The charmonium produced in the above $B$…
The X(3872) has non-charmonium-like properties, such as decay processes that seem to violate isospin, and a mass that lies unexpectedly close to the neutral-D-plus-neutral-D-excited-state threshold. An EFT that includes both charmonium-like…
The properties of the $\DsTT$ and $\DsFE$ mesons are studied using 125 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^- \to c \bar{c}$ data collected by the BaBar experiment. Preliminary mass estimates of $[2318.9\pm 0.3 ({\rm stat.}) \pm 0.9 ({\rm syst.})]$…
This talk reviews recent experimental results on selected topics in the spectroscopy of charmonia, charmonium-like states and light mesons.
We report branching fraction measurements for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium meson. We use a sample of 22.72 +/- 0.36 million B anti-B events collected between October…
Using the CLEO-II detector at the CESR $e^+e^-$ storage ring running at the center-of-mass energy around 10.6 GeV, we have studied exclusive production of charmonium states in two-photon collisions. Employing a dataset comprising 3.0 ${\rm…
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…
From 2011 to 2014, the BESIII experiment collected about 5 fb$^{-1}$ data at center-of-mass energies around 4 GeV for the studies of the charmonium-like and higher excited charmonium states. By analyzing the di-muon process…
During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $\psi^{'}$ and $\psi(3770)$ coming from BESII and CLEOc and many new discoveries coming from B-factories.…
It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks…
We study two-body $B$-meson decays to a charmonium state ($\eta_c$, $\eta_c(2S)$ or $h_c$) and a $K^+$ or $K^{*0}(892)$ meson using a sample of $349 fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$…
In the light of SU(3) flavor symmetry, the effective interaction Hamiltonian in tensor form is obtained by virtue of group representation theory. The strong and electromagnetic breaking effects are treated as a spurion octet so that the…
We study the process e+e- to pi+pi-J/psi at a center-of-mass energy of 4.260 GeV using a 525 pb^{-1} data sample collected with the BESIII detector operating at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider. The Born cross section is measured to…
Inspired by the BESIII observation of exotic hadron $G$(3900) in $e^+e^-\rightarrow D\bar D$ process [PRL 133(2024)081901], we use the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE to simulate the productions of charmonium-like exotic hadrons…
The observation of any charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) process would be a clear signal of new physics beyond the Standard Model. Various decay modes, including lepton ($\mu, \tau$) decays, pseudoscalar meson ($K,\pi$) decays, vector…
We present measurements of the charmonium state $h_c(^1P_1)$ made with 106M $\psi'$ events collected by BESIII at BEPCII. Clear signals are observed for $\psi'\to\pi^0 h_c$ with and without the subsequent radiative decay…
The recent progress in experiments at B-factories suggests an opportunity to search for missing charmonium states $\eta_{c}'(2^1S_0)$ and $h_c(1^1P_1)$. The feasibility of such a search in B-meson decays are discussed.
The observation of the exotic quarkonium state Z_c(3900) by the BESIII and Belle collaborations supports the concept of hadronic molecules. Charmonium states interpreted as such molecules would be bound states of heavy particles with small…
The decay $Z_c(3900)^\pm\to\omega\pi^\pm$ is searched for using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ and $4.26$~GeV. No significant signal for the…
