While the charmonium model has been effective in describing ccbar bound mesons, there have been many recently discovered charmonium-like states it cannot accommodate. Here I provide a review of recent results from the B-factories including…
In this talk we review the theoretical status of the lifetime ratios of heavy hadrons and of the B-mixing quantities $\Delta M_s$, $\Delta \Gamma_s$ and $\phi_s$. While $\Delta M_s$ and $\Delta \Gamma_s$ suffer from large uncertainties due…
