Decays of both $\eta$ and $\eta^\prime$ provide very useful information in our understanding of low-energy QCD, and experimental signatures for these decays would be extremely helpful at BES-III. The rare decays of the $\eta$ and…

In this talk I discuss two topics related to B decays. I will first discuss the Standard Model prediction for $B\to \eta' X_s$, and then discuss how to use experimental information from $B\to J/\psi K^*$ to test CP violation beyond the SM.
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.…
