Observations of new charmonium(-like) and bottomonium(-like) states (sometimes refered to as "XYZ" states) at e+e- colliders have changed our picture of quarkonia systems as QCD bound states. Potential models with a linear confinement…
We review recent progress in the understanding of the physics of heavy baryons. We begin our review by presenting some highlights of recent experimental findings on charm and bottom baryons and briefly comment on their theoretical…
Rare decays $h\to Z V$ with $V$ denoting the narrow $c\bar{c}$ or $b\bar{b}$ resonances, such as $J/\Psi$ or $\Upsilon$ states, have been analyzed. Within the standard model, these channels may proceed through the tree-level transition…
The bottomonium states due to their varying binding energies dissolve at different temperatures and thus their nuclear modification factors and relative yields have potential to map the properties of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). We estimate…
A number of charmonium- and bottomonium-like meson states have been observed that have properties that do not match well to expectations for the simple quark-antiquark substructure suggested by the constituent quark model. Some of them are…
The bottomonium mass spectra is computed in the framework of potential non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics. The potential consists of a static term incorporating Coulombic plus confinement part along with a correction term added…
We have reconsidered the results on the masses of the narrow bottomonium states $\Upsilon(1S)$--$\Upsilon(3S)$ obtained in 1982--1986 at CESR, DORIS and VEPP-4 colliders in order to fix shortcomings of the mass determination procedures. For…
New heavy gauge bosons exist in many models of new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. Discovery of these W^\prime and Z^\prime resonances and the establishment of their spins, couplings, and other quantum numbers would…
The Belle-II experiment is expected to collect large data samples at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonances to study primarily $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We discuss what other data above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold are of interest. We…
We compute the composition of the bottomonium $\Upsilon(nS)$ states (including $\Upsilon(10860)$) and the new $\Upsilon(10753)$ resonance reported by Belle in terms of quarkonium and meson-meson components. We use a recently developed novel…
A version of the bound state soliton model which allows both $\eta$ and $K$ bound states is used to study low partial wave octet baryon resonances. It is found that negative parity $S-$wave resonances are well described within this…
We study the dipion transitions $\Upsilon(4S) \rightarrow \Upsilon(nS) \pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2)$. In particular, we consider the effects of the two intermediate bottomoniumlike exotic states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ as well as bottom meson…
Bound upsilon states and their decays provide a unique laboratory for testing QCD, LQCD, and quarkonium potential models. I review recent results, some of which are significant improvements in precision over previous measurements and others…
The recent observation at CDF and D0 of $\Sigma_b$, $\Sigma^*_b$ and $\Xi_b$ baryons opens the door to the advent of new states in the bottom baryon sector. The states measured provide sufficient constraints to fix the parameters of…
We investigate the doubly bottom state $T^-_{bb}$ composed of two bottom mesons with $J^P=1^+$. The potentials are obtained using the one-boson exchange model. With the heavy quark flavor symmetry, all the parameters in the model are…
In this paper we study new-physics contributions to the top-quark decay $t \to b \bar b c$. We search for ways of detecting such new physics via measurements at the LHC. As top quarks are mainly produced at the LHC in $t \bar t$ production…
A review of current experimental results on exclusive hadronic decays of bottom mesons to a single or double charmed final state is presented. We concentrate on branching fraction measurements conducted at $e^+e^-$ colliders at the…
On the occasion of a symposium honoring my collegue Adrian Melissinos, I gave an informal, personal review of bottom quark physics. This paper is a writeup of that talk. I first summarize the early days, the decade from the discovery…
Recently it has been shown that the gross structure of the bottomonium spectrum is reproduced reasonably well within the non-relativistic boundstate theory based on perturbative QCD. In that calculation, however, the fine splittings and the…
We compute the in-medium partial decay widths of the bottomonium states to open bottom mesons ($B\bar B$) using a field theoretical model for composite hadrons with quark constituents. These decay widths are calculated by using the explicit…
