We demonstrate that exclusive B decays to P-wave charmonium factorize in the non-relativistic limit provided that colour-octet contributions are taken into account, and estimate the branching fractions. Although there are very large…
New measurements of Ds+ and Ds*+ meson production rates from B decays and from qqbar continuum events near the Y(4S) resonance are presented. Using 20.8 fb-1 of data on the Y(4S) resonance and 2.6 fb-1 off resonance, we find the inclusive…

We report on a search for the production of new resonance states in the process gamma gamma-->D Dbar. A candidate C-even charmonium state is observed in the vicinity of 3.93 GeV/c^2. The production rate and the angular distribution in the…
We present a selection of recent results from the BESIII collaboration, including both charmonium and $D$ meson physics. We first discuss the observation of a charged, charmonium-like state, the $Z_c(3900)$. Conventional charmonium topics…
We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections to inclusive processes $W^+\to J/\psi(\eta_c)+c+\bar{s}+X$ and $W^+\to B_c(B_c^{*})+b+\bar{s}+X$ in the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD)…
It is shown that the study of correlations in the associative production of B_c and D mesons at LHC allows to obtain the essential information about the B_c production mechanism.
In the present work, we propose to search the charmonium-like states $Z_c(3900$) and $Z_c(4020)$ in the $B_c$ decay. In an effective Lagrangian approach, the branching ratios of $B_c^+ \to Z_c(3900)^+ \pi^0$ and $B_c^+\to Z_c (4020)^+…
The only anticipated resonant contributions to $B^+\to D^+D^-K^+$ decays are charmonium states in the $D^+D^-$ channel. A model-independent analysis, using LHCb proton-proton collision data taken at centre-of-mass energies of…

The ratios of partial rates for charged B decays to the recently observed $D^0 K$ mode and to the two $D_{CP}K$ final states (CP = $\pm$) are shown to constrain the weak phase $\gamma \equiv {\rm Arg} (V_{ub}^*)$. The smaller…
We study the productions of p-wave mesons $K^*_{0}(1430)$, $K_{1}(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$ in B decays. By the generalized factorization approach, we find that the branching ratios of $B\to K^*_{0}(1430) \phi$ are similar to those of $B\to…
