In QCD Factorization(QCDF), the suppression of the color-suppressed tree amplitude relative to the color-allowed one in $B\to K\pi$ decay implies a direct CP asymmetry in $B^{-}\to K^{-}\pi^{0}$ to be of the same sign and comparable in…
We study the decays of the J/psi and psi' mesons to pi+pi-pi0 using data samples at both resonances collected with the BES III detector in 2009. We measure the corresponding branching fractions with unprecedented precision and provide mass…
We calculate the branching ratio for B -> J/psi + anything, within the color-singlet approximation for J/psi production, but including perturbative QCD corrections beyond the leading logarithm approximation. Such higher order corrections…
We search for the weak decays $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\pi^+ + c.c.$ and $\psi(2S)\to D_s^-\rho^+ + c.c.$ for the first time. The search is based on $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times 10^6$ events containing the charmonium state $\psi(2S)$ collected at the…
Data on e+ e- --> J/psi pi+ pi- and the X(4260) enhancement by the BABAR collaboration [ arXiv:hep-ex/0506081, arXiv:0808.1543 ] are analysed by modelling missing signals that should be present in the complete production amplitude with…
An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ resonances, which had initially been assigned to the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ $c\bar c$ states, respectively. To…
We study the charmonium dissociation in the hot medium with finite baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. Charmonium bound states are dissociated in the medium by the color screening effect and the random scatterings with thermal partons, which…
BaBar and Belle have recently revived the interest in charmonium spectroscopy, discovering many unexpected resonances. In this review, I'll focus mostly on the states found in B decays and double $\ccbar$. A better understanding of their…
The masses of the low lying charmonium states, namely, the $J/\Psi$, $\Psi(3686)$, and $\Psi(3770)$ are shifted downwards due to the second order Stark effect. In $\bar p + \text{Au}$ collisions at $6-10$ GeV we study their in\,-\,medium…
We discuss possible options for interpreting the newly observed state Y(4140) by the CDF collaboration in $B^+\to J/\psi\phi K^+$ decay above the $J/\psi\phi$ threshold, and argue that it is more likely to be a $D_s^*$-$D_s^*$ molecular…
After a brief review of B_s^0 - \bar B_s^0 oscillations, we discuss the weak decays B_s^0 -> J/\psi\phi and B_s^0 -> J/\psi f_0(980) and the ratio R_{f_0/\phi} of their decay rates in the light of recent measurements by the LHCb, D0 and CDF…
Interpretation of CP violation measurements using charmonium decays, in both the B0 and Bs systems, can be subject to changes due to "penguin" type diagrams. These effects can be investigated using measurements of the Cabibbo-suppressed…
In this invited talk I discuss two recent applications of charmonium (Psi) decays to N Nbar m final states, where N is a nucleon and m is a light meson. There are several motivations for studying these decays: 1) They are useful for the…
We report the results of a search for the decay modes B0 -> J/psi D0bar and B+ -> J/psi D0bar pi+. The analysis is based on 140 $\rm fb^{-1}$ of data accumulated by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+} e^{-}$ collider. No…
According to conventional theory, the annihilation reaction p-bar p --> pi_0 pi_0 cannot occur from a p-bar p atomic S state. However, this reaction occurs so readily for antiprotons stopping in liquid hydrogen, that it would require 30%…
We update the profile of the CKM matrix. The apex (rhobar,etabar) of the Unitarity Triangle is given by means of a global fit. We propose to include therein sin2alpha from the CP-violating asymmetries in B0->rho+rho-, using isospin to…
The statistical properties of Charmonium energy spectrum determined by the Bethe-Salpeter equation are investigated. It is found that the regular motion of the $c\bar{c}$ system can be expected at a small value of color screening mass but…
We present that including the hadron loop effects could help us to understand the spectrum of the heavier charmonium-like states and their decays simultaneously. The observed states could be represented by the poles on the complex energy…
Using 8.5M B-anti-B events recorded by the BABAR detector the yield of inclusive J/psi, the branching ratios of psi(2S) and chi_C1 are presented. Combining the charmonium state with either a K+,KS, K*+ or K*0 exclusive B decays are…
Nuclear effects for J/Psi production in pA collisions are controlled by the coherence and color transparency effects. Color transparency onsets when the time of formation of the charmonium wave function becomes longer than the inter-nucleon…
