Mass differences of the charmonium mesons $\psi$(3770), $X$(3872), $\chi$(3929), $X$(3940), $\psi$(4040), $\psi$(4160), $X$(4259) and $\psi$(4415) have been studied. The analysis of data has shown, 5 of 7 mass differences with $\psi$(4415)…
Recent issues in heavy flavour physics are reviewed. Anomalies in charmonium, $B$, and $\Upsilon(5S)$ decays and production are highlighted. New results concerning exotic heavy quark states are also briefly reviewed.
I discuss the nature of the new charm and charmonium like states observed in the last few years and measurements that can test these assignments. In particular it appears that the X(3943) is the eta_c''(3^1S_0) which can be tested by…
The mass spectra of charmonium are investigated using a Coulomb plus linear (Cornell) potential. Gaussian wave function in position space as well as in momentum space are employed to calculate the expectation value of potential and kinetic…
Precision measurements in charm physics offer a window into a unique sector of potential New Physics interactions. LHCb is poised to become a world leading experiment for charm studies, recording enormous statistics with a detector tailored…
We use the method of optimal distillation profiles to compute the low-lying charmonium spectrum in an $N_f = 3+1$ ensemble at the $SU(3)$ light flavor symmetric point ($m_{\pi} \approx 420$ MeV), physical charm quark mass and lattice…
Stimulated by the recent BESIII observation of a new resonance in $e^+ e^- \to \omega \chi_{c0}$ and by the fact that this state is consistent with our predicted $\psi(4S)$, in this work we estimate the meson loop contribution to $\psi(4S)…
Measurements of inelastic production of charmonium with the ZEUS detector at HERA are presented. J/\psi and psi' mesons have been identified using the decay channel psi -> mu+ mu-.The data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 38…
We suggest that $\psi$ (4040) and $\psi$ (4160) are strong mixtures of ground state hybrid charmonium at $\sim 4.1$ GeV and the $\psi (3S)$ of conventional charmonium. The $\Gamma^{e^+e^-}$, masses and total widths of the $\psi(4040)$ and…
Inspired by the similarity of mass gaps of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ families, the prediction of missing higher charmonium with mass $4263$ MeV and very narrow width is made. In addition, the properties of two charmonium-like states,…
BESIII is a new state-of-the-art 4pi detector at the recently upgraded BEPCII two-ring e+e- collider at the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing. It has been in operation for three years, during which time it has collected the…
To investigate a recent proposal that J/$\psi$ production in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions is of thermal origin we have reanalyzed the data from the NA38/50 collaboration within a thermal model including charm. Comparison of the…
Recent results on charmonia decays at BES/BEPC are reported, including the observation of psi'-->K_S K_L, psi'--> Vector + Tensor for the measurement of the relative phase between the strong and electromagnetic decays of psi' and a test of…
We present a systematic and selfconsistent analysis of four-quark charmonium states and applied it to study compact four-quark systems and meson-meson molecules. Our results are robust and should serve to clarify the situation of charmonium…
The statistical properties of Charmonium energy spectrum determined by the Bethe-Salpeter equation are investigated. It is found that the regular motion of the $c\bar{c}$ system can be expected at a small value of color screening mass but…
It has been recently suggested that the charged charmoniumlike resonances $Z_c(4100)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest charmonium states $\eta_c$ and…
The CLEO-c research program will include studies of leptonic, semileptonic and hadronic charm decays, searches for exotic and gluonic matter, and test for physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment and the CESR accelerator were…
We discuss the theoretical status of inclusive radiative decays of charmonium, with a particular emphasis on the QCD description of the photon spectrum, where progress has occurred in recent years. We also comment on the possible extraction…
