In a sample of $9.66\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the CLEO detector we make the first observation of B decays to an $\eta_c$ and a kaon. We measure branching fractions $BR(B^+\to\eta_c K^+) = (0.69 + 0.26 - 0.21 +- 0.08 +-…
Using $(2712\pm 14)$ $\times$ 10$^{6}$ $\psi(2S)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we search for the decays $\eta_{c}(2S)\to\omega\omega$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)\to\omega\phi$ via the process…
Rare decays of light mesons may be a discovery window for a new weakly coupled forces hidden at low energy QCD scale. BES-III Collaboration reported the observation of the rare decay $\eta'\rightarrow\pi^0\gamma\gamma$. The observed decay…
The relation between the ratio Gamma_{ee}(psi')/Gamma_{ee}(J/psi) and Gamma_{2gamma}(eta_{c}')/Gamma_{2gamma}(eta_{c}), expressed in terms of the configuration mixing amplitudes induced by the contact spin-spin interaction of quarks in the…
The charmonium transitions from the $\chi_{cJ}$ states to $\eta_c$ with emission of one or two pions are considered. It is shown that the only processes of such type arising in the leading order in the QCD multipole expansion are the decays…
We use the dynamical gluon configurations provided by the MILC collaboration in a study of the charmonium spectrum and psi leptonic width. We examine sea quark effects on mass splitting and on the leptonic decay matrix element for light…
It has been recently suggested that the charged charmoniumlike resonances $Z_c(4100)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest charmonium states $\eta_c$ and…
We recalculate the branching ratios for $t\to cV$ ($V=g,\gamma,Z$) induced by SUSY FCNC couplings within the general unconstrained MSSM framework using mass eigenstate approach. Our results show that the branching ratios for these decays…
We report the first observation of the two-body baryonic decays $B^{+} \to \Sigma_{c}(2455)^{++} \overline{\Xi}_{c}^{-}$ and $B^{0} \to \Sigma_{c}(2455)^{0} \overline{\Xi}_{c}^{0}$ with significances of $7.3\,\sigma$ and $6.2\,\sigma$,…
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…
The mass components of charmoniumlike states are investigated through the decomposition of QCD energy-momentum tensor (EMT) on lattice. The quark mass contribution $\langle H_m\rangle$ and the momentum fraction $\langle x\rangle$ of valence…
We study charmonium using the standard relativistic formalism in the quenched approximation, on a set of lattices with isotropic lattice spacings ranging from 0.1 to 0.04 fm. We concentrate on the calculation of the hyperfine splitting…
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 review recent charmonium and charmonium-like state from the BaBar B-factory. A particular focus is given to the observation of the decay $X(3872) \to J/\psi \omega$ and to recent $\eta_{c}(1S)$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)$ results. The Observation…
Recently, the BESIII collaboration performed a precise measurement of the $e^+e^-\to \eta J/\psi$ cross section. It is puzzling that the resonance parameters of the reported $Y(4230)$ show a substantial divergence from the previously…
We report the first measurements of the branching fractions: $B(\psi(2S) -> \gamma \eta') = (1.54 \pm 0.31 \pm 0.23) x 10^{-4}$ and $B(\psi(2S) -> \gamma \eta) = (0.53 \pm 0.31 \pm 0.08) x 10^{-4}$. The $\psi(2S)$ to $\gamma \eta'$ result…
We analyze nonleptonic $B_s$ decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the $b \to c {\bar c}s$ transition, which are useful to access the $B_s$-${\bar B}_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$. We use generalized factorization and…
