We make comments on ref.[Z.Phys. C73, 541 (1997)], and provide partial wave analysis to the decays of excited heavy S-wave $1^-$ quarkonia into the basic $1^-$ quarkonia state plus $\pi\pi$. It is revealed that there exist contributions of…
The experimental status of stable bound states made out of heavy quarks is reviewed. The need for a way to deal with the non-perturbative transitions involved calls for precision measurements on one hand, and for discovery of as yet…
Bound states of heavy $\bar{q}q$ quarks are reviewed within the context of QCD. First of all, we consider the calculations which can be performed {\sl ab initio}, which includes $\bar{t}t$ with principal quantum number $n$ up to four,…
In this work, we study the contributions of the intermediate bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states and the bottom meson loops in the heavy quark spin flip transitions $\Upsilon(4S) \to h_b(1P,2P) \pi^+\pi^-$. Depending on the constructive or…
In a previous paper \cite{Bc}, it was pointed out that the wave functions of all particles are not pure waves, besides the main partial waves, they all contain {other partial waves}. It is very interesting to know what role these different…
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium $b\bar b$ and charmonium $c\bar c$ states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model…
Heavy-quark spin symmetry (HQSS) implies that in the direct decay of a heavy quarkonium with spin $S$, only lower lying heavy quarkonia with the same spin $S$ can be produced. However, this selection rule, expected to work very well in the…
At least one state in the first family of D-wave $b \bar b$ quarkonium levels has been discovered near the predicted mass of 10.16 GeV/$c^2$. This state is probably the one with J=2. This state and the ones with J=1 and J=3 may contribute a…
We study the dipion transitions $\Upsilon(4S) \rightarrow \Upsilon(nS) \pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2)$. In particular, we consider the effects of the two intermediate bottomoniumlike exotic states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ as well as bottom meson…
One of the most important tasks in high energy physics is search for the exotic states, such as glueball, hybrid and multi-quark states. The transitions $\psi(ns)\to \psi(ms)+\pi\pi$ and $\Upsilon(ns)\to \Upsilon(ms)+\pi\pi$ attract great…
It is argued that the observed enhancement of the hadronic transition Upsilon(4S) -> Upsilon(1S) eta relative to Upsilon(4S) -> Upsilon(1S) pi pi can be explained if the resonance Upsilon(4S) contains an admixture of a four-quark component,…
Charge-exchange rescattering $\pi^+\pi^-\to \pi^0\pi^0$ leads to a cusp effect in the $\pi^0\pi^0$ invariant mass spectrum of processes with $\pi^0\pi^0$ in the final state which can be used to measure $\pi\pi$ $S$-wave scattering lengths.…
Valuable data on quarkonia (the bound states of a heavy quark Q=c,b and the corresponding antiquark) have recently been provided by a variety of sources, mainly e+ e- collisions, but also hadronic interactions. This permits a thorough…
The recent observation and measurement of the decay $Z_c(3900) \to \rho \eta_c$ provides the data on the relative strength of the pion and $\rho$ coupling in the corresponding transitions between exotic resonances and pure heavy quarkonium.…
Within the framework of dispersion theory, we analyze the dipion transitions between the lightest $\Upsilon$ states, $\Upsilon(nS) \rightarrow \Upsilon(mS) \pi\pi$ with $m < n \leq 3$. In particular, we consider the possible effects of two…
The scale of low energy c-cbar and b-bbar cross sections on light hadrons is of great importance to searches for the quark gluon plasma using the heavy-quarkonium suppression signature. Unfortunately, little is known about these…
In this work, we study the radiative decay of heavy quarkonium states by using the effective Lagrangian approach. Firstly, we construct the spin-breaking terms in the effective Lagrangian for the $nP\leftrightarrow mS$ transitions and…

The chromo-polarizability of a quarkonium state is a measure of the amplitude of the $E1$-$E1$ chromo-electric interaction of the quarkonium with soft gluon fields and can be measured in the heavy quarkonium decays. Based on the chiral…
