Results are presented on Charmonium using data collected with the CLEO III and CLEO-c detectors at the Psi(2S) and Psi(3770). Measurements include, the first observation of the hc(1P1) state, the electronic widths of the J/Psi and Psi(2S),…
We present a new measurement of the e+e- -> J/psi ccbar cross section where the ccbar pair can fragment either into charmed hadrons or a charmonium state. In the former case the J/psi and a charmed hadron are reconstructed, while the latter…
We discuss the production of charmonium states in antiproton-nucleus collisions at the $\psi'$ threshold. It is explained that measurements in $\bar p A$ collisions will allow to get new information about the strengths of the inelastic…
Identification of charmonium states at hadron colliders has mostly been limited to leptonic decays of the J/{\psi}. In this paper we present and algorithm to identify hadronic decays of charmonium states (J/{\psi}, {\psi}(2S),…
A diagrammatic approach to quark exchange processes in meson-meson scattering is applied to the case of inelastic reactions of the type $(Q\barQ)+(q\barq)\rightarrow (Q\barq) + (q\barQ)$, where $Q$ and $q$ refer to heavy and light quarks,…

We study the J/Psi production from nuclei near the kinematic threshold within the collision model, based on the nuclear spectral function, for incoherent primary proton-nucleon charmonium creation processes. The model takes into account the…
We report on charmonium measurements [J/psi(1S), psi'(2S), and chi_c(1P)] in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. We find that the fraction of J/psi coming from the feed-down decay of psi' and chi_c in the midrapidity region ($|\eta|<0.35$)…
