We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of charmonium correlation and spectral functions both below and above $T_c$. Our…
Quarkonium decays are studied in the charmonium model. Relativistic corrections, higher-order perturbative QCD corrections and non- perturbative contributions are discussed. Recent measurements of charmonium annihilation rates are used to…
We discuss the general decomposition and possible general parameterizations of the processes $e^+ e^- \to \gamma^* \to P_1 P_2 \gamma$, where $P_1 P_2=\pi^0 \pi^0$, $\pi^0\eta$, or $\pi^+\pi^-$, for $\sqrt{s}\approx M_\Phi$. Particular…
We investigate $2P$-$1F$ mixing in charmonium, focusing on the close-in-mass $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(1F)$ states. The conventional tensor force yields negligible mixing, motivating the inclusion of coupled-channel effects. Our…

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…

Detailed information of the low-energy interaction between the charmonia ({\eta}c and J/{\psi}) and the nucleon is indispensable for exploring the formation of charmonium bound to nuclei. In order to investigate the charmonium-nucleon…
Results are presented on Charmonium using data collected with the CLEO III and CLEO-c detectors at the Psi(2S) and Psi(3770). Measurements include, the first observation of the hc(1P1) state, the electronic widths of the J/Psi and Psi(2S),…
We present a next-to-leading-order (NLO) analysis of the rare radiative decay $\eta_b \to J/\psi\gamma$, a flavor-changing transition between bottomonium and charmonium, within the framework of non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD). We…

The decay mode $\psi(2S)\to J/\psi+\gamma\gamma$ is proposed in order to experimentally identify the effects of the coupling of charmonium states to the continuum $D\bar D$ states. To have a better understanding of such a two-photon decay…
