Based on $(10087\pm44)\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events recorded with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare charmonium weak decays $J/\psi\to D_{s}^{-}\rho^{+}+c.c.$ and $J/\psi\to D_{s}^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.$ No signal is observed, and upper…
Thirty years ago, the suppression of charmonium production in heavy-ion collisions was first proposed as an unambiguous signature for the formation of a Quark-Gluon Plasma. Since then, experiments at fixed-target accelerators (SPS) and…
We report results of experiments performed with the KEDR detector at the VEPP-4M $e^+e^-$ collider. They include final results for the mass and other parameters of the $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$ and $\psi(3770)$ and $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c$…
Recent results in the field of spectroscopy from the BABAR experiment are reported, with particular attention to the new states observed in ISR and $\gamma \gamma$ interactions using the full BABAR data sample. We confirm the states Y(4260)…
The spin-singlet P-wave state of charmonium, hc(1P1), has been observed in the decay psi(2S) -> pi0 hc followed by hc -> gamma etac. Inclusive and exclusive analyses of the M(hc) spectrum have been performed. Two complementary inclusive…
In 2009, the BESIII experiment has collected about 225M $\jpsi$ and 106M $\psip$ samples, both of which are the world largest on-peak charmonium production. Based on these dataset, BESIII has made great effort on the study of the charmonium…
Decays of charmonium into hyperon and antihyperon pairs provide a pristine laboratory for exploring hyperon properties, such as their polarization and decay parameters, and for conducting tests of fundamental symmetries. This brief review…
We study the charmonium ($c\bar{c}$) and bottomonium ($b\bar{b}$) spectra, using Cornell potential with additional constant potential term in a non-relativistic framework, with spin-dependent corrections corresponding to the spin-spin,…
I review possible resolution of the $J/\psi (\psi^{\prime}) \to \rho-\pi$ puzzle based on two inputs: the relative phase between the one- photon and the gluonic decay amplitudes, and a possible hadronic excess in the inclusive…
We report branching fractions and charge asymmetries for exclusive decays of charged and neutral B mesons to two-body final states containing a charmonium meson, J/psi or psi(2S). This result is based on a 29.4 fb^{-1} data sample collected…
Radiative charmonium decays from the BESII sample of 14$\times10^{6}$ $\psi(2S)$-events into two different final states, $\gamma K^+K^-$ and $\gamma\pi^+\pi^-$, are analyzed. Product branching fractions for $\psi(2S)\to\gamma X\to…
Several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B-meson…
Here we discuss three separate topics in charmonium physics. (1) The Omicron \OMC as $1^{--}$ trigluonia, and the charmonium puzzle; the $\eta_c' (3600)$ search. (2) The decay $\psi(^1P_1) \to \pi^o + J/\psi$ and isospin violating…
Using a sample of $(1310.6\pm7.0)\times10^6$ $J/\psi$ events recorded with the BESIII detector at the symmetric electron positron collider BEPCII, we report the observation of the decay of the $(1^1 S_0)$ charmonium state $\eta_c$ into a…
We report measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered…
The hyperfine splitting for the 2S charmonium state is calculated and the predicted number is $\Delta_{\rm HF}(2S) = 57 \pm 8$ MeV, being by derivation the lower bound of this splitting. It results in $M(\eta_c(2S))= 3630 \pm 8$ MeV, which…
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…
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…
