Using 22.7 million BBbar events recorded with the BABAR detector, the inclusive branching fractions for the production of J/psi, psi(2S) and Chi_c in B decays are presented. Combining the charmonium state with a K+-, K0, K*+-, K*0 or…
Within a perturbative approach we investigate decays of charmonium states into baryon-antibaryon pairs. Using a recently proposed wave function for the nucleon and suitable generalizations of it to the hyperons and decouplet baryons, we…
The efforts of Roy-Sridhar-Close-Cho-Wise-Trivedi to resolve the CDF $\psi'$ anomaly with cascades from above-threshold $\chi^\prime_c$ states require well defined signature states require well defined signatures [a small total width and a…
We report the observation of prompt J/psi via double ccbar production from the e+e- continuum. In this process one ccbar pair fragments into a J/psi meson while the remaining pair either produces a bound charmonium state or fragments into…
The standard-model explanations of the anomalously-large transverse polarization fraction fT in B -> phi K* can be tested by measuring the polarizations of the two decays B+ -> rho+ K*0 and B+ -> rho0 K*+. For the scenario in which the…
We present a phenomenological analysis of higher Fack state contributions to the $\chi_{cJ}$ decays by using the recent BES experimental data. It is found that the higher Fock state $\mid (c\bar{c})_{8}g>$ makes an important contributions…
It has been observed in B->phiK* and B^{0(+)}->rho^{0(+)}K^{*0} that the fraction of transverse decays, fT, and the fraction of longitudinal decays, fL, are roughly equal, in opposition to the naive expectation, fT/fL << 1. If one requires…
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…
Any color singlet or octet ccbar pair is created at short distances and then expands to a full size of J/psi. Such a dynamical evolution process is included here in calculations for the J/psi number distribution as a function of transverse…
The original charmonium two-body problem, like the $c\bar c$ structure of the $J/\psi$ meson, has become more involved in the last few years with the discovery of new resonances such as the tentative molecular state $X(3872)$ or the…
The couplings of charmonia and charmonium hybrids (generically Psi) to ppbar are of great interest in view of future plans to study these states using an antiproton storage ring at GSI. These low to moderate energy Psi-ppbar couplings are…
We review the current state of experimental knowledge on double ccbar production in e+e- annihilation. The large cross-sections (O(20 fb)) for e+e- -> gamma* -> psi(') ccbar_{res} processes have been confirmed by detailed tests and…
We identify two Cabibbo suppressed $D^+$ decay modes with anomalously high branching ratios which are not simply explained by any model. All standard model diagrams that can contribute to these decays are related by symmetries to diagrams…
We have studied the B^+/- --> J/psi pi^+/- and B^+/- --> J/psi K^+/- decays using a 20.7 fb-1 data set collected with the BABAR detector. We observe a signal of 51+/-10 B^+/- --> J/psi pi^+/- events and determine the ratio BF(B^+/- -->…
The study of the charmonium (cbar c) system is a powerful tool to understand the strong interaction. In pbar p annihilations studied with PANDA, the mass and width of the charmonium state, such as h_c, will be measured with an excellent…
A Dalitz-plot analysis of Bd(t) -> rho pi -> pi+ pi- pi0 decays allows one to obtain the CP-violating phase \alpha. In addition, one can extract the various tree (T) and penguin (P) amplitudes contributing to these decays. By comparing the…
Based on $(10087\pm44)\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events recorded with the BESIII detector, we search for the rare charmonium weak decays $J/\psi\to D_{s}^{-}\rho^{+}+c.c.$ and $J/\psi\to D_{s}^{-}\pi^{+}+c.c.$ No signal is observed, and upper…
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ and Belle experiments have extensively studied…
We report a study of the decays B0 -> J/psi K(*)0 pi+ pi-, which involve the creation of a u u-bar or d d-bar quark pair in addition to a b-bar -> c-bar(c s-bar) decay. The data sample consists of 110 1/pb of p p-bar collisions at sqrt{s} =…
