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.…
I review possible resolution of the $J/\psi (\psi^{\prime}) \to \rho-\pi$ puzzle based on two inputs: the relative phase between the one- photon and the gluonic decay amplitudes, and a possible hadronic excess in the inclusive…
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 recent BES Collaboration data on $\psi' \ra PV$, particularly the isospin violating mode $\psi' \ra \pi^0 \omega^0$ and finding of a finite number for $B(\psi' \ra K^{*0}\bar{K}^0)$, enable us now to deal more precisely about the…
e+e- Experiments producing charmonium are reviewed. It is found that the contribution of the continuum amplitude via virtual photon was neglected in almost all the experiments and the channels analyzed. It is shown that the contribution of…
Here we discuss three separate topics in charmonium physics. (1) The Omicron \OMC as $1^{--}$ trigluonia, and the charmonium puzzle; the $\eta_c' (3600)$ search. (2) The decay $\psi(^1P_1) \to \pi^o + J/\psi$ and isospin violating…
Some discrepancies between theory and experiment in the B -> pi K decays suggest the possibility of a new physics contribution with the structure of an electroweak penguin amplitude. If such a scenario is realised in nature, the branching…
Using data acquired with the CLEO-c detector at the CESR e+e- collider, we measure branching fractions for J/psi, psi(2S), and psi(3770) decays to gamma pi0, gamma eta, and gamma eta'. Defining R_n = B[ psi(nS)-->gamma eta ]/B[…
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 factorization of hard and soft contributions into the hadronic decays of B_c meson at large recoils is explored in order to evaluate the decay rates into the S, P and D-wave charmonia associated with rho and pi. The constraints of…
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…

Recent experimental results on the decays of charmonium, together with related physics issues, are reviewed. Some future prospects are described.
The open charm effects via intermediate hadron loop transitions seem to play a crucial role in the understanding of several existing "puzzles" in charmonium exclusive decays, such as the $\psi(3770)$ non-$D\bar{D}$ decays, and "$\rho\pi$…
We discuss the theoretical status of inclusive radiative decays of charmonium, with a particular emphasis on the QCD description of the photon spectrum, where progress has occurred in recent years. We also comment on the possible extraction…
This paper presents a method for the analysis of process $J/\psi \rightarrow \rho\pi \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ based on the consideration of the angles of expansion of finite pion pairs. The proposed approach makes it possible to…
The baryonic decays of $J/ \psi$ provide a new way to study the internal structure of baryons. A simple diquark model applied to the calculation of the $\bar{B}B$ decay cross-sections is compared with the ordinary constituent quark model.…
