Using a sample of 3.8 M psi(2S) events accumulated with the BES detector, the process psi(2S) -> pi^+ pi^- J/psi is studied. The angular distributions are compared with the general decay amplitude analysis of Cahn. We find that the dipion…

A resonance X(3872), first observed in the decays $B \to K X$, has been seen to decay to $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The $\pi^+ \pi^-$ mass spectrum peaks near its kinematic upper limit, prompting speculation that the dipion system may be in a…

The strange $B$ meson $B_s \equiv \bar b s$ and its charge-conjugate $\bar B_s \equiv b \bar s$ are expected to mix with one another in such a way that the mass eigenstates $B_s^H$ (``heavy'') and $B_s^L$ (``light'') may have a perceptible…

We study the $J/\psi \to \phi \pi^+ a_0(980)^- (a_0^- \to \pi^- \eta)$ decay, evaluating the double mass distribution in terms of the $\pi^- \eta$ and $\pi^+ a^-_0$ invariant masses. We show that the $\pi^- \eta$ mass distribution exhibits…

The rare decay $\bar B_d^0\to J/\psi \phi$ can proceed in four distinct mechanisms: (i) production of the $\phi$ via tri-gluon fusion, (ii) photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ or $\phi$, (iii) final-state rescattering of $D_s^{(*)}D_s^{(*)}$…
