We present the results of a search for the radiative decay B0 --> J/psi gamma in a data set containing 123 million Y(4S)--> B B-bar decays, collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring at SLAC. We find…
The decay psi(2S) --> eta J/psi is used to measure, for the first time, all prominent eta-meson branching fractions with the same experiment in the same dataset, thereby providing a consistent treatment of systematics across branching…
In this work, we investigate the isospin breaking decay $X_b \to \pi^0\chi_{bJ}$ and the isospin conserved decay $X_b \to \pi\pi\chi_{bJ}$, where $X_b$ is taken to be the heavy quark flavor symmetry counterpart of $X(3872)$ in the…
The hierarchy among the radiative $\gamma$($\pi^0$, $\eta$, $\eta^{\prime}$) decay channels for the $\psi^{\prime}$ looks quite different from the $J/\psi$ one. The fate of charm, namely an ultimate survival of on-shell $c \bar{c}$…
The final-state interaction in multichannel decay processes is sytematically studied with application to B decay in mind. Since the final-state inteaction is intrinsically interwoven with the decay interaction in this case, no simple phase…
Using 58 million $J/\psi$ events collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESII) at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider, the decays $J/\psi\to \gamma\phi\rho$ and $J/\psi\to \gamma\omega\rho$ are searched for, and upper limits on their…
In this work, we investigate the $X(3915)$ and $Z(3930)$ decays into $J/\psi\omega$ with the $\chi_{c0}^\prime(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}^\prime (2P)$ assignments to $X(3915)$ and $Z(3930)$, respectively. The results show that the decay width of…
Results are reported based on samples of 58 million $J/\psi$ and 14 million $\psi(2S)$ decays obtained by the BESII experiment. Improved branching fraction measurements are determined, including branching fractions for…
We perform the first three-dimensional measurement of the amplitudes of $B\to\psi{(2S)}K^*$ and $B\to\chi_{c1}K^*$ decays and update our previous measurement for $B\to{J\mskip -3mu/\mskip -2mu\psi\mskip 2mu}K^*$. We use a data sample…
The cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \eta J/\psi$ at center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}$) between 3.81 and 4.60 GeV are measured with high precision by using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the…
In a molecular scenario, we investigate the isospin-breaking hidden charm decay processes of $X(3872)$, i.e., $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- J/\psi$, $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 J/\psi$, and $X(3872)\to \pi^0\chi_{cJ}$. We assume that the…
In the framework of top-color assisted technicolor(TC2) theory, we study the four decay processes of charged top-pion, i.e., $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to t\bar{b}$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to c\bar{b}$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to W^{+}\gamma$, $\Pi^{+}_{t}\to W^{+}Z^{0}$,…
Using a sample of $1.06\times10^{8}~\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the decays $\eta_{c}(2S)\to p\bar{p}$ and $h_{c}\to p\bar{p}$ are searched for, where $\eta_c(2S)$ and $h_c$ are reconstructed in the decay…
The $J/\psi$ meson has negative $G$-parity so that, in the limit of isospin conservation, its decay into $\pi^+\pi^-$ should be purely electromagnetic. However, the measured branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ exceeds by…
We search for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{-} \chi_{cJ}$ ($J=0,1,2$) and for a charged charmonium-like state in the $\pi ^{\pm} \chi_{cJ}$ subsystem. The search uses data sets collected with the BESIII detector at the…
We present a method that maximises the experimental sensitivity to new physics contributions in $B^\pm\to\pi^\pm\mu^+\mu^-$ decays. This method relies on performing an unbinned maximum likelihood fit to both the measured dimuon $q^2$…
Recent BESIII data indicate a significant rate of the process $e^+e^- \to h_c \pi^+ \pi^-$ at the Y(4260) and Y(4360) resonances, implying a substantial breaking of the heavy quark spin symmetry. We consider these resonances within the…
The observed Y(4260)\to \gamma + X(3872) decay is a natural consequence of the diquark-antidiquark description of Y and X resonances. In this note we attempt an estimate of the transition rate, \Gamma_{\rm rad}, by a non-relativistic…
By fitting the R values between 3.7 and 5.0 GeV measured by the BES collaboration, the upper limit of the electron width of the newly discovered resonance Y(4260) is determined to be 580 eV at 90% C.L. Together with the BABAR measurement on…
Heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHchiPT) and XEFT are applied to the decays X(3872) -> psi(2S) + gamma and psi(4040) -> X(3872) + gamma under the assumption that the X(3872) is a molecular bound state of neutral charm mesons. In…
