We revise and extend expectations for the properties of charmonium states that lie above charm threshold, in light of new experimental information. We refine the Cornell coupled-channel model for the coupling of c-cbar levels to two-meson…

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…

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 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…

The $B$-factories and Large Hadron Collider experiments have demonstrated the ability to observe and measure the properties of bottomonium mesons. In order to discover missing states it is useful to know their properties to develop a…

In this talk, we will present the results on the charmonium spin singlet states below the open charm threshold, including h_c, \eta_c, and \eta_c(2S). The masses, widthes, and production rates of these states will be reported. The results…

We report on exclusive decays of B mesons into final states containing charmonium using data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings. The charmonium states considered here are J/psi, psi(2S), and chi_C1. Branching…

A search for decays of $B_c^+$ mesons to two charm mesons is performed for the first time using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at centre-of-mass energies…

A study of resonant structures in $B^{+}\rightarrow{D^{\ast+}D^{-}K^{+}}$ and $B^{+}\rightarrow{D^{\ast-}D^{+}K^{+}}$ decays is performed, using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=7, 8$, and $13$ TeV…

Recent results in studies of bottomonium especially relevant to charmonium are reviewed. This report covers dipion transition matrix elements, $\eta$ production in $\Upsilon$ transitions, $\Upsilon$ decays to invisible particles, a search…

We compute the decay rates and $H$-energy distributions of $B$ mesons into the final state $H+X$, where $H$ can be any one of the $S$-wave or $P$-wave charmonia, at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling. We find that a significant…

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 preliminary results of a study of the two-body B-meson decays to a charmonium state (ccbar) and a K+ or K*0(892) meson using a sample of about 349 fb-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B…

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…

Hybrid charmonium with mass ~4 GeV could be produced via a c c.bar color-octet component in b->c c.bar s. These states could be narrow and could have a significant branching ratio to light hadrons, perhaps enhanced by glueballs. Decays to…

We study the semileptonic decays of $B_c$ meson to S-wave charmonium states in the framework of relativistic independent quark model based on an average flavor-independent confining potential $U(r)$ in the scalar-vector harmonic form…

We study the baryonic charmonium decays of $B$ mesons, $B^+ \to \eta_c K^+$ and $B^+ \to J/\psi K^+$, where $\eta_c$ and $J/\psi$ subsequently decay into a $p\bar p$ or $\Lambda\bar\Lambda$ pair. The charmonium produced in the above $B$…

We have fully reconstructed decays of both B0 and B- Mesons into final states containing either D, D*, D**, Psi, Psi', or Chi_{c1} mesons. This allows us to obtain new results on many physics topics including branching ratios, tests of the…

A number of charmonium-(bottmonium-)like states have been observed in $B$-factory experiments. Recently the BESIII experiment has joined this search with a unique data sample collected at the different center of mass energies ranging from…

Inspired by the recent measurements on the $J/{\psi}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $D_{s}{\rho}$, $D_{u}K^{\ast}$ weak decays at BESIII and the potential prospects of the charmonium at the high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments, we study ${\psi}(1S,2S)$…
