During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $\psi^{'}$ and $\psi(3770)$ coming from BESII and CLEOc and many new discoveries coming from B-factories.…
The charmonium system provides an opportunity to explore a wide variety of topics in hadronic physics. Studies of the properties of and transitions among cc-bar states yield insight into relativistic and non-perturbative QCD effects. At the…
Based on $(2.712\pm0.014)\times10^9$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII collaboration, evidence of the hadronic decay $h_c\to K_S^0K^+\pi^-+c.c.$ is found with a significance of $4.3\sigma$ in the $\psi(3686)\to\pi^0 h_c$ process.…
In this work, a formalism is presented for the helicity amplitude analysis of the decays $\psi(2S) \to \gamma_1 \chi_{cJ},~ \chi_{cJ} \to \gamma_2 V (V=\rho^0,~\phi,~\omega)$~(the subscript 1,2 is used to distinguish the two radiative…
This review briefly outlines recent experimental results from the charmonium system. These include new measurements of the M1 radiative transition rates $B(\psi(1S,2S)\to\gamma\eta_c(1S))$; new insights into the mass of the $\eta_c(1S)$;…
We observe signals for the decays psi(3770)--> X J/psi from data acquired with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e^+e^- collider with sqrt{s}=3773 MeV. We measure the following branching fractions B(psi(3770)--> XJ/psi) and…
The h_c(1P1) state of charmonium has been observed in the reaction \psi(2S) -> \pi0 h_c -> (\gamma\gamma)(\gamma\eta_c) using 3.08 million \psi(2S) decays recorded in the CLEO detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive…
We study the processes e+e- -> (J/psi gamma gamma) gamma and e+e- -> (J/psi pi- pi+) gamma where the hard photon radiated from an initial e+e- collision with center-of-mass (CM) energy near 10.58 GeV is detected. In the final state J/psi…
Ten hadronic final states of the $h_c$ decays are investigated via the process $\psi(3686)\rightarrow \pi^0 h_c$, using a data sample of $(448.1 \pm 2.9) \times 10^6$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector. The decay channel…
The Bc --> J/psi pi, etac pi decays are studied with the perturbative QCD approach. It is found that form factors and branching ratios are sensitive to the parameters w, v, f_J/psi and f_etac, where w and v are the parameters of the…
Using 586 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data taken with the CLEO-c detector at $\sqrt{s}=4170$ MeV, the peak of the charmonium resonance $\psi(4160)$, we analyze the decay $\psi(4160)\to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$, and report observation of…
Recent results on the search for pentaquarks and on charmonium spectroscopy at BaBar are reviewed. The latter includes the observation of the puzzling new state X(3872) -> J/psi pi+ pi- in B decays, and the searches for X(3872) in two-body…
We study the decay process of $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+e^- \phi$ where the relatively clean electromagnetic (EM) transitions appear at leading order at tree level while the hadronic contributions only emerge via hadronic loop transitions. We…
Before it stopped data taking in 2008, CLEO had accumulated a large amount of e+e- data in the bottomonium and charmonium regions. These data have led to valuable contributions in the spectroscopy of both |ccbar> and |bbbar> quarkonia, and…
Spin polarization and entanglement are utilized by the BESIII experiment to learn more about the production and decay properties of hyperon-antihyperon pairs in a series of recent analyses of its unprecedented datasets at the $J/\psi$ and…

We examine the so-called rho-pi puzzle of the psi(2S) decay by incorporating two inputs: One is the relative phase between the one-photon and the gluon decay amplitude, and the other is a possible anomaly in the inclusive nonelectromagnetic…
