While experiment produced a candidate for the 1^P_1 chamonium in the past, it still requires a confirmation. Given the recent progress in the exclusive B decay into charmonia, we now have an opportunity to detect this charmonium (h_c) by…
The recent progress in experiments at B-factories suggests an opportunity to search for missing charmonium states $\eta_{c}'(2^1S_0)$ and $h_c(1^1P_1)$. The feasibility of such a search in B-meson decays are discussed.
HERA-B is a hadroproduction experiment located at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. The experiment produces B mesons and baryons by inserting thin wire targets into the halo of the proton beam circulating in the HERA storage ring. The B decays are…
Recent experimental results on charmonium $h_c(^1P_1)$, $\eta_c(1S)$ and $\eta_c(2S)$ from Belle, BaBar, CLEO and BESIII are reviewed. $h_c$ production and properties, the $\eta_c(1S)$ lineshape and the observation of $\eta_c(2S)$ in…
In this article, we review the status of the charmonium production in low energy fixed target proton-nucleus (p-A) and nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions as measured by different experimental collaborations at CERN-SPS, Fermilab and HERA…
Charmonium productions in $p-p$ and $A-B$ collisions have been estimated within the ambit of colour evaporation model (CEM). The model parameters have been fixed by fitting the theoretical results with CDF data. The method is then applied…
In recent years the B-factories and other machines have found evidence for a large number of new states with hidden charm: candidate h_c(1P), eta_c(2S), and chi_{c2}(2P) states; the well-established X(3872); enhancements called X(3940),…
We present recent results on charmonium and charmonium-like states from the BaBar B-factory located at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
We describe some characteristic properties of $B_c$ mesons and discuss the production and the prospects of detection in $e^+ e^-$, $\gamma \gamma$, and $\bar pp/pp$ collisions. The production mechanisms considered here also play an…
We review recent charmonium and charmonium-like state from the BaBar B-factory. A particular focus is given to the observation of the decay $X(3872) \to J/\psi \omega$ and to recent $\eta_{c}(1S)$ and $\eta_{c}(2S)$ results. The Observation…
We report measurements of charmonia produced in two-photon collisions and decaying to four-meson final states, where the meson is either a charged pion or a charged kaon. The analysis is based on a 395fb^{-1} data sample accumulated with…
We outline a coherent strategy for exploring the four remaining narrow charmonium states [$\eta_{c}^{\prime}(2\slj{1}{1}{0})$, $h_{c}(1\slj{1}{2}{1})$, $\eta_{c2}(1\slj{1}{3}{2})$, and $\psi_{2}(1\slj{3}{3}{2})$] expected to lie below charm…
Studies of charmonium properties and production mechanism started with the discovery of $J/\psi$ meson. Since more than 40 years the charmonium production mechanism is still not entirely understood. Following the era of investigations at…
The lowest lying charmonium system $\eta_c$ has been observed for more than four decades. Studies of its production and decay properties provide an unique platform to investigate the inner structure of charmonium systems, hence improve our…
