In this paper we propose the study of the photoproduction of charmoniumlike states in $pp$ collisions at RHIC and LHC energies and estimate the rapidity distribution and total cross sections for the production of the exotic hadrons…
The QCD mechanisms underlying the exclusive strong decays and hadronic production amplitudes of charmonium remain poorly understood, despite decades of study and an increasingly detaled body of experimental information. One set of hadronic…
The Electron-Ion Collider is under construction at BNL. It will have high-energy high-intensity polarized beams of electrons and hadrons. These beams will allow a high accuracy investigation of nucleon structure in the low- to very-low-x…
The color evaporation model simply states that charmonium production is described by the same dynamics as $D \bar D$ production, {\em i.e.}, by the formation of a colored $c \bar c$ pair. Its color happens to be bleached by soft final-state…
Measurements of coherent charmonium production cross sections together with their ratio in ultra-peripheral PbPb collisions are studied at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass energy of $5.02\,\mathrm{TeV}$, the differential cross-sections are…
It has been empirically observed that the dependence of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ production on nuclear mass number $A$ is very similar. This has been postulated to be due to the predominance of color octet pre-resonant states in charmonium…
I discuss issues related to charmonium production, in view of physics possibilities at a 15 ... 30 GeV continuous beam electron facility. High energy photo- and hadroproduction of heavy quarkonia presents several challenges to QCD models…
The early production of heavy quarks ($c\bar{c}$ and $b\bar{b}$) makes charmonia an ideal probe to study the evolution of the hot and dense medium produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, known as the quark--gluon plasma (QGP).…

Charmonium, the spectroscopy of c\bar{c} mesons, has recently enjoyed a renaissance with the discovery of several missing states and a number of unexpected charmonium-like resonances. The discovery of these new states has been made possible…
Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles provide powerful probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose to search for the EDM of strange and charm baryons at LHC, extending the ongoing experimental…

Using data acquired with the CLEO-c detector at the CESR e+e- collider, we measure branching fractions for J/psi, psi(2S), and psi(3770) decays to gamma pi0, gamma eta, and gamma eta'. Defining R_n = B[ psi(nS)-->gamma eta ]/B[…

We study two-body $B$-meson decays to a charmonium state ($\eta_c$, $\eta_c(2S)$ or $h_c$) and a $K^+$ or $K^{*0}(892)$ meson using a sample of $349 fb^{-1}$ of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$…
The HERA electron--proton collider has collected 100 pb$^{-1}$ of data since its start-up in 1992, and recently moved into a high-luminosity operation mode, with upgraded detectors, aiming to increase the total integrated luminosity per…
The ALICE Collaboration at the LHC has measured the J/$\psi$ and $\psi^{'}$ photoproduction at mid-rapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV. The charmonium is identified via its leptonic decay for events…
Considering the situation that a single chiral partilce, $\eta$, is initially emitted, we study the hidden-charm di-eta decays of charmoniumlike state $Y(4660)$ and the predicted charmonium $\psi(4790)$, i.e., $Y(4660)/\psi(4790) \to…
