We report the latest outcomes for the Charmonium system investigation on 226x10^6 J/Psi and 106x10^6 Psi' events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e+e- collider.
Using 22.7 million BBbar events recorded with the BABAR detector, the inclusive branching fractions for the production of J/psi, psi(2S) and Chi_c in B decays are presented. Combining the charmonium state with a K+-, K0, K*+-, K*0 or…
We search for the weak decays $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\pi^+ + c.c.$ and $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\rho^+ + c.c.$ for the first time. The search is based on $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times 10^6$ events containing the charmonium state $\psi(2S)$ collected at the…
A precision measurement of the mass of the h_c(1P1) state of charmonium has been made using a sample of 24.5 million psi(2S) events produced in e+e- annihilation at CESR. The reaction used was psi(2S) -> pi0 h_c, pi0 -> gamma gamma, h_c ->…
We present the results of an amplitude analysis of anti-B0 -> J/psi K- pi+ decays. A new charged charmoniumlike state Zc(4200)+ decaying to J/psi pi+ is observed with a significance of 6.2 sigma. The mass and width of the Zc(4200)+ are 4196…
In 2009, the BESIII experiment has collected about 225M $\jpsi$ and 106M $\psip$ samples, both of which are the world largest on-peak charmonium production. Based on these dataset, BESIII has made great effort on the study of the charmonium…
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…
Using $(106\pm4)\times 10^6$ $\psip$ events accumulated with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII $e^+e^-$ collider, we present measurements of the branching fractions for psi' decays to $K^{+}K^{-}\pi^{0}$ and $K^{+}K^{-}\eta$. In these final…

Results of many $\psi(2S)$ hadronic decays and the results of $\psi(2S)$ radiative/hadronic transitions from BES collaboration in the past year are presented. Measurement of $\BR(\jpsi\ra K^0_S K^0_L)$ and the preliminary result of…
Recent experimental results on the decays of charmonium, together with related physics issues, are reviewed. Some future prospects are described.
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…
After investigating the decays of a charmonium $\psi = J/\psi, \psi(2S)$ into a spin-1/2 baryon-antibaryon $B \bar{B}$ pair, with the determination of the only parameter that gives the EM amplitude for neutral final states, in this work we…
A study of the $B^+\to K^0_SK^+K^-\pi^+$ and $B^+\to K^0_SK^+K^+\pi^-$ decays is performed using proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV at the LHCb experiment. The $K^0_SK \pi$ invariant mass spectra from…
With the help of the largest data samples of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ events ever produced in $e^+e^-$ annihilations, the three singlet charmonium states, $\eta_c(1S)$, $\eta_c(2S)$ and $h_c(1P)$, have been extensively studied at the BESIII…
Recent results include the measurement of B->D(*)pi+pi-pi-pi0 decays, with rates of ~1.8% observation of a significant omega pi^- substructure that appears to result from the decay of the rho' resonance, whose mass and width we determine as…
In the decays of $\eta_c\to\gamma\gamma$ and $J/\psi\to\gamma\eta_c$, there are discrepancies between the theoretical calculations and the PDG experimental values, referred to as the charmonium QCD puzzle. We observe the decay…
Based on a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = 3.0969 GeV with the BESIII detector, we search for the charmonium rare weak decay $J/\psi\to\bar{D}^0\bar{K}^{*0}+{\rm c.c.}$.…
