Data from J/psi and psi' production in p-A collisions are used to determine the cross section for absorption of pre-resonance charmonium in nuclear matter. The J/psi suppression in O-Cu, O-U and S-U collisions is fully reproduced by the…

Some discrepancies between theory and experiment in the B -> pi K decays suggest the possibility of a new physics contribution with the structure of an electroweak penguin amplitude. If such a scenario is realised in nature, the branching…

Non-$D\bar{D}$ decay $\psppto \rhopi$ is searched for using a data sample of $(17.3\pm 0.5) pb^{-1}$ taken at the center-of-mass energy of 3.773 GeV by the BESII detector at the BEPC. No $\rhopi$ signal is observed, and the upper limit of…

We study the changes in the partial decay widths of excited charmonium states into $D \bar{D}$, when the D meson mass decreases in nuclear matter, taking the internal structure of the hadrons into account. Calculations within the 3P0 model…

Existing data on the $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-$ cross section at the center-of-mass energy above 2.6 GeV are fitted with a sum of $\psi(3770)$ resonant and continuum contributions. Two solutions for the resonance production cross section are found…

The analysis of the $\pi\gamma$ transition form factor provides severe constraints on the pion's wave function. This information is used to examine charmonium decays into two pions critically. It will be argued that the standard…

In this invited talk I discuss two recent applications of charmonium (Psi) decays to N Nbar m final states, where N is a nucleon and m is a light meson. There are several motivations for studying these decays: 1) They are useful for the…

We develop a new method that allows us to deal with two-photon intermediate states in a lattice QCD calculation. We apply this method to perform a first-principles calculation of the $\pi^0 \rightarrow e^+ e^-$ decay amplitude. Both the…

Interpretation of CP violation measurements using charmonium decays, in both the B0 and Bs systems, can be subject to changes due to "penguin" type diagrams. These effects can be investigated using measurements of the Cabibbo-suppressed…
