A search for resonance-like structures in the $\mathrm{B}^{0}_{\mathrm{s}}\pi^{\pm}$ invariant mass spectrum is performed using proton-proton collision data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC at $\sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV, corresponding to…
The BESIII experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) has accumulated the world's largest samples of direct $e^+e^-$ collisions in the $\tau$-charm region. From the collected samples, which include $e^+e^-$ annihilations…
More than 30 years after the discovery of the J/psi, its production mechanism is still poorly understood. With the LHC data it will be possible to study quarkonia up to very high transverse momenta and with high statistics. In this note we…
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ and Belle experiments have extensively studied…
Taking advantage of large top production rates at the LHC, the leptonic final states with J/psi are explored for a precise determination of the top quark mass. The top is partially reconstructed by combining the isolated lepton from the W…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum of charmonium for $1P,...,3P$ states of $0^{++}$ , $1^{++}$, as well as for $1S,...,4S$ states of $0^{-+}$, and $1S, ...,5D$ states of $1^{--}$ along with the two-photon decay widths of ground and…
The mass splitting between the quarkonium spin-singlet state $h$ ($J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$) and the spin average of the quarkonium spin-triplet states $\chi$ ($J^{PC} = 0^{++}, 1^{++}, 2^{++}$) is seen to be astonishingly small, not only in the…
The $\Xi^-_\mathrm{b} \pi^+ \pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum is investigated with an event sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016-2018 and corresponding to an integrated…
The analyses of states with double $cs$ content and the search for exotics have recently gained much attention. The Belle experiment collected roughly 1 ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity data. While Belle II data-taking is in progress, we…
We study the $\Upsilon$ exclusive decay into double charmonium, specifically, the $S$-wave charmonium $ J/\psi$ plus the $P$-wave charmonium $\chi_{c0,1,2}$ in the NRQCD factorization framework. Three distinct decay mechanisms, i.e., the…
I review here the most recent results about the observation and the study of hadronic bound states that do not fit well in the standard quarkonium picture. Several new states have been observed in the last few years, at B-, tau-Factories…
Theoretical analysis of three exclusive decays, $B_{c}\to J/\psi+\mathcal{R},$where $\mathcal{R}=K+4\pi,$$KK+3\pi$, or $7\pi$, is given. Using the factorization method and the resonance approximation (methods proved to be very useful in the…
Based on 14 million psi(2S) and 58 million J/psi events collected by the BESII detector, the leptonic decay of psi(2S) into $\tau^+\tau^-$, psi(2S) multi-body decays, chi_cJ decays, and J/psi hadronic decays are studied, and the branching…
We present the first determination of the hadronic decays of the lightest exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ resonance in lattice QCD. Working with SU(3) flavor symmetry, where the up, down and strange quark masses approximately match the physical…
We include two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and…
A resonance X(3872), first observed in the decays $B \to K X$, has been seen to decay to $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The $\pi^+ \pi^-$ mass spectrum peaks near its kinematic upper limit, prompting speculation that the dipion system may be in a…
We reconsider the discrepancy between theory and data in the momentum distribution of slow J/psi in B decays. Beside an update of the standard color singlet and color octet QCD components, we include the contribution from XY Z exotic…

The branching fractions of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ inclusive decays into final states with a $J/\psi$ or a $\psi(2S)$ are measured with improved precision to be $\BR(\Upsilon(1S)\to J/\psi + {\rm anything})=(5.25\pm 0.13(\mathrm{stat.})\pm…
The weak decays of charmonium states such as $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ are instrumental in probing both nonperturbative QCD dynamics and the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM). The extreme rarity of charmonium weak decays renders…
