The $J/\psi$ meson has negative $G$-parity so that, in the limit of isospin conservation, its decay into $\pi^+\pi^-$ should be purely electromagnetic. However, the measured branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ exceeds by…

The dissociation of quarkonia in the medium created in heavy ion collisions is still one of the most debated topics in the heavy ion community. Progress in understanding the effect relies on a broad range of measurements in collisions with…
We present a study of the cross sections J/Psi X --> D^(*) \bar D^(*) (X = rho, Phi) based on the calculation of the effective tri- and four-linear couplings J/Psi (X) D^(*) \bar D^(*) within a constituent quark model. In particular, the…
Using the methods introduced in a previous paper, we consider the dissociation of J/psi by the lowest-lying pseudoscalar and vector mesons in the hadronic fireball formed in heavy ion collisions, assumed to be a hadron gas at temperature T.…

We explore quark interactions mediated by new gauge bosons of masses in the 0.3 - 50 GeV range. A tight upper limit on the gauge coupling of light Z' bosons is imposed by the anomaly cancellation conditions in conjunction with collider…
The infinite chain of transitions of one pair of mesons (channel I) into another pair of mesons (channel II) can produce bound states and resonances in both channels even if no interactions inside channels exist. These resonances which can…
The $J/\psi$-$p$ scattering length, $\alpha_{J/\psi p}$, can be extracted from the $J/\psi$ photoproduction cross section near threshold using the Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) model to relate the reaction $\gamma p \to J/\psi p$ to $J/\psi…
