The cross sections of $\Upsilon$ absorption by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons are evaluated in a meson-exchange model. Including form factors with a cutoff parameter of 1 or 2 GeV, we find that due to the large threshold of these reactions the…

We reanalyze the dissociation process of the $J/\psi$ by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons into $D + \bar{D}$, $D^* + \bar{D}$, $D + \bar{D}^*$, and $D^* + \bar{D}^*$ within a meson exchange model. In addition to the dissociation mechanisms…
