The hierarchy among the radiative $\gamma$($\pi^0$, $\eta$, $\eta^{\prime}$) decay channels for the $\psi^{\prime}$ looks quite different from the $J/\psi$ one. The fate of charm, namely an ultimate survival of on-shell $c \bar{c}$…
Using 5.63 pb^-1 of data accumulated at the psi(2S) resonance with the CLEO III and CLEO-c detectors corresponding to 3.08 million psi(2S) decays, a search is performed for the decay psi(2S) -> eta_c pi^+pi^-pi^0 to test a theoretical…
In inclusive decays of the $\Psi$ (3097), electromagnetic and gluonic annihilation amplitudes add incoherently, namely they are 90$^\circ$ out of phase. We argue that this incoherence must persist in each exclusive decay channel. For…
We propose a new explanation for the longstanding puzzle of the tiny branching fraction of psi' -> rho pi relative to that for J/psi -> rho pi. In the case of J/psi, we argue that this decay is dominated by a higher Fock state in which the…
We examine the so-called rho-pi puzzle of the psi(2S) decay by incorporating two inputs: One is the relative phase between the one-photon and the gluon decay amplitude, and the other is a possible anomaly in the inclusive nonelectromagnetic…
The $J/\Psi$ decay into a baryon pair and a pseudoscalar meson is computed, for some channels, in lowest order in perturbative QCD, modeling the baryon with a quark-diquark system. We use a set of parameters that has been proposed by some…
The hadronic decays eta -> pi pi pi, eta-prime -> pi pi pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within a U(3) chiral unitary approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving the effective s-wave potentials for meson meson…
The decays of psi(2S) into gamma p bar{p}, pi^0 p bar{p} and eta p bar{p} have been studied with the CLEO-c detector using a sample of 24.5 million psi(2S) events obtained from e^+e^- annihilations at sqrt{s} = 3686 MeV. The data show…

Within a perturbative approach we investigate decays of charmonium states into baryon-antibaryon pairs. Using a recently proposed wave function for the nucleon and suitable generalizations of it to the hyperons and decouplet baryons, we…
The two body decays of $B_d$ and $B_s$ decays into $J/\psi M$, where $M$ is a light meson, is studied under the very simple assumptions that the spectator quark does not play a role in the decay of the weak heavy quark or antiquark. This…
In this article, we study the decays $\psi^{\prime}\to {J/\psi}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\eta_c^{\prime}\to {\eta_c}\pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the chiral symmetry breaking effects, the final-state interactions and the heavy quark symmetry.…
A new explanation for the longstanding puzzle of the tiny branching fraction of psi' --> rho pi relative to that for J/psi --> rho pi was proposed. In the case of J/psi, we argue that this decay is dominated by a higher Fock state in which…
The experimental observation indicates that the branching ratio of $\psi'\to \rho\pi$ is very small while the $\rho-\pi$ channel is a main one in $J/\psi$ decays. To understand the puzzle, various interpretations have been proposed.…
The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are…
The so-called \rho\pi puzzle of J\psi and \psi(2S) decays is examined using the experimental data available to date. Two different approaches were taken to estimate the ratio of J\psi and \psi(2S) hadronic decay rates. While one of the…
Using a sample of 2.59 x 10^7$ psi(2S) decays collected by the CLEO--c detector, we present results of a search for the decay chain psi(2S) -> pi^0 h_c, h_c -> n(pi^+ pi^-) pi^0, n=1,2,3. We observe no significant signals for n=1 and n=3…
A search for the hadronic decays of the $h_{c}$ meson to the final states $p\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$, $p\bar{p}\eta$, and $p\bar{p}\pi^0$ via the process $\psi(3686) \to \pi^{0}{h_c}$ is performed using $(4.48\pm0.03)\times10^{8}$…
