We report determination of branching fractions for the decays psi(2S) --> h + J/psi, where h=any, pi+pi-, pi0pi0, eta, pi0, and gamma gamma through chi_{c0,1,2}. These measurements use 27M psi(2S) decays produced in e+e- collision data…

The first observation of the $\Xi_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- \pi^+$ decay and the most precise measurement of the branching fraction of the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi \Xi^- K^+$ decay are reported, using proton-proton collision data from the LHCb…

Based on $(106.41 \pm 0.86)\times 10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of $\psi(3686) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$, $J/\psi \to e^+e^- $, and $J/\psi \to \mu^+\mu^-$ are…

The three-body decays $B^0_s \rightarrow \psi(2S,3S) \pi^+ \pi^-$ are studied based on the perturbative QCD approach. With the help of the nonperturbative two-pion distribution amplitudes, the analysis is simplified into the quasi-two-body…

Next-to-Leading-Order(NLO) QCD corrections to double J/psi production in e^+e^- annihilation at sqrt{s}=10.6 GeV are calculated. We find that they greatly decrease the cross section, with a K factor (NLO/LO) ranging from -0.31 to 0.25…

One of the most challenging open problems in heavy quarkonium physics is the double charm production in $e^+e^-$ annihilation at B factories. The measured cross section of $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi + \eta_c$ is much larger than leading order (LO)…
