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 $BABAR$ experiment has extensively studied those in B…
We report the latest outcomes for the Charmonium system investigation on 226x10^6 J/Psi and 106x10^6 Psi' events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e+e- collider.
We present a concise review of the vector charmonium state $\psi(4230)$, which was originally labelled as $Y(4260)$ in the literature. As one of the earliest candidates for a QCD exotic states, its interpretation has initiated various ideas…
Charmonium spectroscopy provides strong guidelines to effective field theories, thereby gaining insight into quark confinement and the generation of hadron masses. Hadronic transitions between charmonium states have been measured with…
The newly found states Y(4260), Y(4361), Y(4664) and Z$^\pm$(4430) stir broad interest in the study of spectroscopy in a typical charmonium scale. The Y(4260) which was observed earlier has been interpreted as hybrid, molecular state, and…
We report the recent evidence for a new narrow structure, Y(4140), decaying to the $J/\psi \phi$ final state, in exclusive $B^+\to J/\psi\phi K^+$ decays in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.7 \ifb collected at…
We review the recent experimental results on the exotic charmoniumlike states. Among them we discuss the X(3872), Y(3940), Z^\pm(4430) and Z^\pm_{1,2} states found in B-meson decays, the X(3940) and X(4160) states produced in double…
Despite the successes of the standard model, the non-perturbative dynamics of the strong interaction are not fully understood yet. Charmonium spectroscopy serves as an ideal tool to shed light on the dynamics of the strong interaction such…
New enhancements in the charmonium and bottomonium spectra observed since 2003 are very briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ (formerly $X(3872)$) owing to its remarkable proximity to the $\bar{D}^{\star0}\!D^0$…
To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium…

We give a pedagogical introduction to heavy quarkonia -- bound states of a heavy quark and its antiquark (e.g., charmonium $c\bar{c}$, bottomonium $b\bar{b}$) -- as well as to the exotic hadrons containing two heavy quarks that have been…

Recent experimental results on heavy quarkonia spectroscopy and decays are reviewed. In particular, new results are discussed on charmonium spin singlet states, bottomonium D-states, photon and hadronic transitions from heavy quarkonium…
We review recent studies on exotic states at the Belle experiment. The results include: (1) The measurement of the cross sections of $\gamma \gamma \to \omega \phi$, $\phi\phi$, and $\omega \omega$ for masses that range from threshold to…
BESIII experiment has collected a large data sample of charmonium, charm mesons, hyperons, and other light mesons. These data provide a unique opportunity to explore the dark sector beyond the Standard Model, particularly for dark sectors…
Recent results on the search for pentaquarks and on charmonium spectroscopy at BaBar are reviewed. The latter includes the observation of the puzzling new state X(3872) -> J/psi pi+ pi- in B decays, and the searches for X(3872) in two-body…
Based on the data samples collected at the energies of $J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$ and $\psi(4040)$ resonances with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we present charmonium decays in two aspects. One is the search for…
We present physics opportunities and topics with the $s\bar{s}$ states (strangeonia) that can be studied with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII collider. Though the $\phi$ and $\eta/\eta^\prime$ states have long been established…
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic charmonium-like resonances discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed charged states are clearly not interpretable as q-qbar mesons. Notwithstanding the…
