Recently, the BaBar Collaboration reported a broad resonance structure near 2 GeV when analyzing the $e^+e^-\to f_1(1285)\pi^+\pi^-$ process, which provides a good opportunity to study the higher $\rho$-mesonic states. When considering the…
The SELEX experiment (E781) at Fermilab is a 3-stage magnetic spectrometer for the high statistics study of charm hadroproduction out to large x_F using 600 GeV Sigma^-, p and pi beams. The main features of the spectrometer are: high…
We present new results on charmonium and charmonium-like states from the BaBar experiment located at the PEP-II asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ storage ring at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Production of metastable charmonium states more massive than the $\psi(3685)$ is expected in models and could be the source of up to $50\%$ of the $\psi$ observed at large $p_T$ at the Tevatron.Narrow $2^{-+},2^{--} c\bar{c}$ are predicted…

Recent results on light hadron spectroscopy are reported, with special emphasis on the evidence for a narrow baryonic state decaying to Ks p and Ks pbar, compatible with the pentaquark state theta^+ observed by fixed target experiments. The…

Recent data from the Tevatron have revealed that the production rate of prompt charmonium is more than an order of magnitude larger than the best theoretical predictions of a few years ago. This surprising result can be understood by taking…
In the past years there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. Many interesting new hadron states were discovered experimentally, some of which do not fit easily into the quark model. This situation motivated a vigorous theoretical…
The BABAR experiment participates to the global endeavor for a precise prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon by evaluating the contribution of hadronic processes to the vacuum polarization. After its last result published…
Since 2003 several states in the charmonium mass region were discovered. While in the conventional c c-bar spectrum some states are missing, the number of states observed up to now is larger than empty spaces in the c c-bar spectrum. This,…
