We have studied the contribution of the state $X(3930)$, coming from the interaction of the $D \overline{D}$ and $D^{+}_s D^{-}_s$ channels, to the $B^- \to K^- J/\psi \omega $ decay. The purpose of this work is to offer a complementary…

The $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi \phi$ decay is observed in $pp$ collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. This is the first…

An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ resonances, which had initially been assigned to the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ $c\bar c$ states, respectively. To…

A search for J/psi radiative decay to weakly interacting neutral final states was performed using the CLEO-c detector at CESR. A total of 3.7 x 10^{6} tagged J/psi events was collected at the psi(2S) resonance and used to study the decay…

$B\to\chi_{c1}(1P,2P)K$ decays are studied in QCD factorization by treating charmonia as nonrelativistic bound states. No infrared divergences exist in the vertex corrections, while the logarithmic end-point singularities in the hard…

The recently observed by CLEO cascade decays Upsilon(3S) -> gamma chi_{bJ}^\prime -> gamma omega Upsilon are discussed. It is shown that within the nonrelativistic description of bottomonium in the heavy b quark limit, the ratio of the…

We calculate the masses of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation effects.…

Using a total of $9.0~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data with center-of-mass energies between 4.15 and 4.30 GeV collected by the BESIII detector, we search for the processes $e^+e^-\to \gamma X(3872)$ with…

Using $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times10^6$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring, the decays $\chi_{cJ}(J=0,1,2)\rightarrow p\bar{p}\eta\eta$ are observed for the first time through the radiative…

Using 10.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ collision data collected by the BESIII detector with center-of-mass energies between 4.15 GeV and 4.30 GeV, we search for the decays $X(3872)\to\pi^0\pi^0\chi_{c1,2}$, where the $X(3872)$ is produced in…

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 present results of a search for the X(3872) in B0-->X(3872)KS0,X(3872)-->J/psi pi+ pi-, improved measurements of B-->X(3872)K-, and a study of the J/psi pi+ pi- mass region above the X(3872). We use 232x106 B[overline B] pairs collected…

I propose a new evaluation of $\psi'(2S)$ and $\chi_c(1P)$ branching ratios which avoids the correlations affecting the current Particle Data Group evaluation. These correlations explain the apparent technique-dependent discrepancies…

We present results from a study of X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays produced via exclusive B--> K X(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M_X(3872)= (3871.84\pm 0.27 (stat)\pm 0.19 (syst)) MeV, a 90% CL upper limit on the natural width…

Using a sample of 25.9 million psi(2S) decays acquired with the CLEO-c detector at the CESR e^+e^- collider, we report branching fractions for the decays chi_cJ -> p p-bar pi^0, p p-bar eta, and p p-bar omega, with J=0,1,2. Our results for…

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…

We report a direct search for a new gauge boson, $X$, with a mass of $17~\text{MeV}/c^2$, which could explain the anomalous excess of $e^+e^-$ pairs observed in the $^8\text{Be}$ nuclear transitions. The search is conducted in the…

Contrary to almost standard opinion that the X(3872) resonance is the D^{*0}\bar D^0+c.c. molecule or the qc\bar q\bar c four-quark state, we discuss the scenario where the X(3872)resonance is the c\bar c = \chi_{c1}(2P) charmonium which…

Heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHchiPT) and XEFT are applied to the decays X(3872) -> psi(2S) + gamma and psi(4040) -> X(3872) + gamma under the assumption that the X(3872) is a molecular bound state of neutral charm mesons. In…

We study the $B_c^- \to \pi^- J/\psi \omega$ and $B_c^- \to \pi^- D^* \bar{D}^*$ reactions and show that they are related by the presence of two resonances, the $X(3940)$ and $X(3930)$, that are of molecular nature and couple most strongly…
