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…

We develop a method to measure the amount of compositeness of a resonance, mostly made as a bound state of two hadrons, by simultaneously measuring the rate of production of the resonance and the mass distribution of the two hadrons close…

Using a sample of 4.7/fb integrated luminosity accumulated with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR), we investigate the mass spectrum and resonant structure in tau->Kpipi decays. We measure the relative…

We perform a theoretical study of the $\chi_{cJ} \to \phi K^* \bar K \to \phi K\pi \bar K$ reaction taking into account the $K^* \bar K$ final state interaction, which in the chiral unitary approach is responsible, together with its coupled…

We report a search for the decay $B^0 \to J/\psi \phi$, using a sample of 657 $\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance. No statistically significant signal is found and an upper limit…

Within a picture of the $f_1(1285)$ being a dynamically generated resonance from the $ K^*\bar K$ interactions, we estimate the rates for the radiative transitions of the $f_1(1285)$ meson to the vector mesons $\rho^0$,$\omega$ and $\phi$.…

Within the framework of dispersion theory, we study the the processes $e^+e^-\to \phi(2170) \to \phi \pi\pi(K\bar{K})$. The strong pion-pion final-state interactions, especially the $K\bar{K}$ coupled channel in the $S$-wave, are taken into…

Color-suppressed decays of $B$ mesons to final states with $\psi(2S)$ mesons have been observed with the CLEO detector. The branching fractions for the decays $B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^+$, $B^+ \to \psi(2S) K^*(892)^+$, $B^0 \to \psi(2S) K^0$,…

We make predictions for the ratios of branching fractions of ${\bar B}^0$ and ${\bar B}^0_s$ decays into $J/\psi$ and the scalar mesons $f_0(1370),~f_0(1710)$ or tensor mesons $f_2(1270),~f'_2(1525),~K^*_2(1430)$. The theoretical approach…

We search for the decays B- -> phi K- gamma and B0bar -> phi K0bar gamma in a data sample of 228 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector. We measure the branching fraction B(B- -> phi K- gamma) =…

We use effective hadronic field theory to study in-medium properties of the $\phi$ meson. The dominant decay channels $\phi\toK^{+}K^{-}$ and $\phi\to\pi\rho$ are modeled using an SU(3) chiral Lagrangian with normal and abnormal parities.…

With the measurements of the decay $D^+_s \rightarrow K^0_S K^0_S \pi^+$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we investigate this three-body weak decay via the chiral unitary approach for the final state interaction, where the resonances $S(980)$…

There are several exciting results for the hadronic B decays of Belle and BaBar recently. My report focuses on the ratios of branching fractions and $CP$ asymmetry for $B \to hh$ decays at Belle and BaBar where $h$ denotes $\pi$ or $K$. The…

The $\Xi_b(6227)$ baryon with the quantum number $J^P=1/2^{-}$ is considered as a molecular state composed of a $\Sigma_b$ baryon and $\bar{K}$ meson. The partial decay widths of the $\Sigma_b\bar{K}$ molecular state into $\Xi_b\gamma$ and…

In this work, we study the $\Xi_c$ baryon electromagnetic decay widths within the constituent quark model formalism through an analysis of the transitions from $P-$wave states to ground states. We use the non-relativistic limit of the…

We present a new reaction, complementary to the $J/\psi\rightarrow \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ from which an $h_1$ resonance with mass around $1830$ MeV was reported from a BESIII experiment. The new reaction is $\eta_c\rightarrow \phi…

We report a search for $B$ decays to selected final states with the $\eta_c$ meson: $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^+\pi^-$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\omega$, $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\eta$ and $B^{\pm}\to K^{\pm}\eta_c\pi^0$. The analysis is…

We show that the recent paper \cite{kalash}, claiming that the radiative decays \phi\to a_0(980)\gamma and \phi\to f_0(980)\gamma should be of the same order of magnitude regardless of whether the a_0(980) and f_0(980) are compact…
