We present an updated analysis of the angular distribution for $\psi(3686) \to p\bar{p}$ decay, taking into account transverse beam polarization, to investigate potential sources of forward-backward asymmetry and azimuthal modulation beyond…
In this work, we calculate the charmonium spectrum and strong decay widths of cc states. The calculations are performed using the quark potential model with which incorporates the relativistic effects. The resulting cc spectrum exhibits a…
In the framework of QCD factorization, we study the $B$ meson exclusive decays $B\to \chi_{cJ}K$ where the spin-triplet P-wave charmonium states $\chi_{cJ}(J=0,1,2)$ are described by the color-singlet non-relativistic wave functions. We…
We study the rare B meson decays B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ K^+ K^- K{+-,0}, B{+-,0} --> J/\psi\ \phi\ K{+-,0}, and search for B0 --> J/\psi\ \phi, using 469 million BBbar events collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at…
We study the exclusive decay of $J/\Psi$ into a lepton pair combined with light hadrons in the kinematic region, specified by that the total energy of the light hadrons is much smaller than $m_c$, the mass of the $c$-quark. In this region,…
The discovery of numerous new charmonium-like structures since 2003 have revitalized interest in exotic meson spectroscopy. These structures do not fit easily into the conventional charmonium model, and proposals like four-quark states,…
We have studied the dominant radiative transitions of the charmonium $S$-and $P$-wave states within the covariant confined quark model. The gauge invariant leading-order transition amplitudes have been expressed by using either the…
Production of J/$\psi$ from nucleus-nucleus reactions depends sensitively on the dissociation cross section with light hadrons. Effective lagrangian methods are used to describe the hadronic degrees of freedom, including strangeness and…
Our understanding of high-lying states within the charmonium family remains incomplete, particularly in light of recent observations of charmonium states at energies around 4 GeV. In this study, we investigate the spectroscopic properties…
The newly reported Y(4260) becomes the second most massive state in the charmonium family. We argue that it displaces the psi(4415) as the (largely) 4s vector charmonium state, recall s-d wave interference to explain the lack of a signal in…
Stimulated by the experimental observation, made by the E760 Collaboration at Fermilab, of the $^1\!P_1$ state of charmonium resonantly formed in $p\,\bar p$ annihilation, we perform a calculation of the decay width for the $^1\!P_1\to…
Observations of exotic structures in the $J/\psi p$ channel, that we refer to as pentaquark-charmonium states, in $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi K^- p$ decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb acquired…
Cabibbo-allowed nonleptonic weak decays of charmed baryons $\lamc,~\xin,~\xip$ and $\Omega_c^0$ into an octet baryon and a pseudoscalar meson are analyzed. The nonfactorizable contributions are evaluated under pole approximation, and it…
Although the spectra of heavy quarkonium systems have been successfully explained by certain QCD motivated potential models, their strong decays are still an open problem. We perform a microscopic calculation of vector charmonium strong…
In this work, we have calculated the mass spectrum, radiative decays, and strong decays of charmonium (cc) by using the non-relativistic quark potential(NRQP) model. The wave functions are calculated by solving the radial Schrodinger…
An outstanding mystery of charmonium physics is why the J/\psi decays prominently to pseudoscalar plus vector meson channels, such as J/\psi -> \rho \pi and J/\psi -> K^*K, whereas the \psi'(2S) does not. We show that such decays of J/\psi…
We analyze nonleptonic $B_s$ decays to a charmonium state and a light meson, induced by the $b \to c {\bar c}s$ transition, which are useful to access the $B_s$-${\bar B}_s$ mixing phase $\beta_s$. We use generalized factorization and…
The theoretical explanations about the ``Rho-pi puzzle'' in charmonium decays are reviewed extensively, and the comparison of theoretical predications with experimental data is made whenever possible. Three methods to estimate the ratio of…
We study the in-medium propagation of low-lying charmonium states: $J/\Psi$, $\Psi$(3686), and $\Psi$(3770) in a $\bar p$ Au $10$ GeV collision. This energy regime will be available for the PANDA experiment. The time evolution of the…
