Hadronic decays of the P-wave spin-triplet charmonium states \chi_cJ (J=0,1,2) are studied using a sample of \psi(2S) decays collected by the BES detector operating at the BEPC storage ring. Branching fractions for the decays \chi_c1 going…
In this work, we use the $C^3P_{\,0}$ model to calculate the decay widths of the low lying charmonium $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ states, nominally $J/\psi(1S)$ and $\psi(2S)$, in the following common channels: $\rho\,\pi$, $\omega\,\eta$,…
Since the discovery of the X(3872) in 2003 the B-factory experiments BaBar and Belle have been driving forces in the spectroscopy of new charmonium-like states. In this article the latest results on the decays X(3872) -> D0 D*0bar and…
Using a sample of 3 million psi(2S) decays recorded by the CLEO detector, we study three-body decays of the chi_c0, chi_c1, and chi_c2 produced in radiative decays of the psi(2S). We consider the final states pi+ pi- eta, K+ K- eta, p p-bar…
Using a data sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=3.097\ \textrm{GeV}$, a dedicated search for the charmonium semileptonic weak decay…
We present a new analysis of double charmonium production in e^+ e^- annihilation. The observation of the processes e^+ e^- -> J/psi eta_c, J/psi chi_c0, and J/psi eta_c(2S) is confirmed using a dataset more than three times larger than…
Radiative charmonium decays from the BESII sample of 14$\times10^{6}$ $\psi(2S)$-events into two different final states, $\gamma K^+K^-$ and $\gamma\pi^+\pi^-$, are analyzed. Product branching fractions for $\psi(2S)\to\gamma X\to…
Using 58 million $J/\psi$ decays, we have investigated the $p \bar{p}$ invariant mass spectrum in the radiative decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ and observe a prominent structure with mass near $2m_p$. Fitting with an S-wave…
The recent BES Collaboration data on $\psi' \ra PV$, particularly the isospin violating mode $\psi' \ra \pi^0 \omega^0$ and finding of a finite number for $B(\psi' \ra K^{*0}\bar{K}^0)$, enable us now to deal more precisely about the…
The baryonic decays of $J/ \psi$ provide a new way to study the internal structure of baryons. A simple diquark model applied to the calculation of the $\bar{B}B$ decay cross-sections is compared with the ordinary constituent quark model.…
Identification of charmonium states at hadron colliders has mostly been limited to leptonic decays of the J/{\psi}. In this paper we present and algorithm to identify hadronic decays of charmonium states (J/{\psi}, {\psi}(2S),…

We compute the O(alpha_s^2) correction to the decay rate eta_c --> gamma gamma and discuss its implications for precision quarkonium physics. We study the suitability of the ratio Gamma(J/psi --> e+e-)/Gamma(eta_c --> gamma gamma), in which…
We investigate E1 radiative transitions within charmonium in a relativistic approach based on light-front QCD. In quantum field theory, two sets of processes are pure E1: $\chi_{c0} \to J/\psi \gamma$ ($\psi\to \chi_{c0}\gamma$) and $h_c…
We report the observation of a narrow charmonium-like state produced in the exclusive decay process B+ -> K+ pi+pi- J/psi. This state, which decays into pi+pi- J/psi, has a mass of 3872.0+-0.6(stat)+-0.5(syst) MeV, a value that is very near…
Production of J/$\psi$ from nucleus-nucleus reactions depends sensitively on the dissociation cross section with light hadrons. Effective lagrangian methods are used to describe the hadronic degrees of freedom, including strangeness and…
