In this paper, we study the structure around the $p\bar{p}$ threshold that appears in $\eta'\pi^+\pi^-$, $3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ and $K_S^0K_S^0\eta$ invariant mass spectra in the processes of relevant $J/\psi$ radiative decays. The $N\bar{N}$…
Recently, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured indirect CP violation in Bs -> J/psi phi and found a hint of a signal. If taken at face value, this can be interpreted as a nonzero phase of Bs-Bsbar mixing (beta_s), in disagreement with the…
Fitting the recent $e^+e^-\ra\phi\,\eta$ data by the Belle collaboration with a theoretical formula reveals, besides the dominant $\phi(1680)$ resonance, two narrow resonances: expected $\phi(2170)$ resonance and an unexpected resonance…

We report on a search in $e^+e^-$ annihilations for new $\pi^0$-like particles produced in association with a $\tau$-lepton pair. These objects, with a similar mass and similar decay modes to $\pi^0$ mesons, could provide an explanation for…
Within the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism, we have reanalyzed the hidden-charm vector-vector meson $D^*\bar{D}^*$, $K^*\bar{K}^*$, and $\rho\rho$ interactions with the quantum numbers $I(J^P)=1(1^+)$. The estimation indicates…
