The {\it BaBar} experiment has recorded the decays of more than 465$\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ pairs since 1999, and is reaching an unprecedented precision in the measurement of hadronic B decays. The following results are presented: tests of QCD factorization with the decays $B\to χ_{c0}K^{*} $, $B\to χ_{c1,2}K^{(*)} $, and $\bar{B}^{0}\to D^{(*)0}h^{0}$, $h^0=π^0, η,\ ω, η'$, study of the decays to charmonium $B\to η_c K^{(*)},\ η_c(2S) K^{(*)}$ and $h_cK^{(*)}$, measurement of the mass difference between neutral and charged $B$'s, measurement of the "r" parameters for the extraction of the CKM angles $\sin(2β+γ)$ with the decays $B\to D_s^{(*)}h, h=π^-, ρ^-, K^{(*)+}$, study of the three-body rare decays $B\to J/ψϕK$, study of the baryonic decays $\bar{B}^0\toΛ_c^+\bar{p}$, $B^-\toΛ_c^+π^-\bar{p}$, and $B^-\toΛ_c^+π^0\bar{p}$. Except for the published results, all the given numbers are preliminary.

The charmonium-like states, Y(4260), Y(4350), produced via initial state radiation, as well as the X(3872), and Y(3940), produced in B meson decays from the BABAR B-factory are reviewed. These mesons do not seem consistent with conventional charmonium models, and several alternate hypotheses have been proposed to explain these new discoveries.
We report on measurements of time-dependent CP-violation asymmetries in neutral B meson decays to charmonium and charm final states. The results are obtained from a data sample of 467+/-5 million Y(4S)->BBbar decays collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B factory.
Belle and BaBar experiments at the KEKB and PEP-II B-factories provide also an excellent environment for spectroscopy studies. In this report we present recent results in the field of charmonium spectroscopy, focusing on new charmonium-like states observed in B decays, and on $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ resonances created in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation through the photon radiative return.
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 production mechanism can help to discriminate among models, confirm tentative $J^{PC}$ assignments, and clarify the overall picture.
We report measurements of charmonium resonances (J/Psi, Psi(2S),Chi_c1) using about 25 fb^-1 of data collected by the BABAR detector around the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We present measurements of inclusive charmonium production of charmonium in B decays and from the continuum, as well as exclusive branching ratios of B mesons into charmonium final states. We present also a measurement of the B0 -> K*0 gamma branching ratio and a search for the decay B0 -> gamma gamma.
A brief review of experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like hadron spectroscopy at B-factories is presented. A special focus is put on recent results of eta_c and eta_c(2S) study, X(3872) radiative decays, omega J/psi final state study and search for charmonium production in radiative Upsilon decays.
Using 22.7 million BBbar events recorded with the BABAR detector, the inclusive branching fractions for the production of J/psi, psi(2S) and Chi_c in B decays are presented. Combining the charmonium state with a K+-, K0, K*+-, K*0 or neutral pion, B decays are reconstructed exlusively and branching fractions are determined. A preliminary study is also presented fot the B --> eta_c K decay mode.
We report preliminary results on the measurement of branching fractions of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered are J/psi, psi(2S) and chic_c1, and the light mesons are either K or K*. We use a sample of about 124 million BBbar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
This article summarises measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to charmonium, open-charm and gluonic penguin-dominated charmless final states. Unless otherwise stated, these measurements are based on a sample of approximately 230 million Y(4S) to BBbar decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory.
The B factories provide a unique playground for studying the properties of conventional and exotic charmonium states. We present recent results in initial state radiation and two-photon fusion, obtained using the full data set collected by the BaBar experiment. Amongst BaBar 's harvest presented in this talk, the determination of the quantum numbers of the X(3915) resonance, a body of concording evidence pointing to JPC = 1++ for the X(3872), and updates on the family of the Y resonance to the full integrated luminosity.
Recent results in the field of spectroscopy from the BABAR experiment are reported, with particular attention to the new states observed in ISR and $γγ$ interactions using the full BABAR data sample. We confirm the states Y(4260) and Y(4360) with higher precision and for the first time the state Y(4660) is observed. We do not confirm the Y(4008) state reported by Belle. In addition, the analysis of the invariant mass of the $J/ψω$ system produced in $γγ$ interactions is presented in confirmation of the Belle observation of the X(3915) in this process.
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 reconstructed and their branching ratios determined. Using the fully reconstructed decays, both the B0 and B+ masses and their difference is measured. Finally the contributions of CP even and odd amplitudes in the decay B to J/psi K* are determined from an angular analysis.
In this paper the studies of three different B decays to hadronic states are presented. These results are based on 1999-2003 dataset collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The measurements are the hadronic branching fraction of B+ -> J/psi p Lambda-bar, B0 -> J/psi p p-bar, B0 -> D*+D-, and the direct CP-asymmetry in B0 -> D0(CP) K- channels.
Several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B-meson decays (e.g. X(3872), and Y(3940)). The Belle observations of the enhancements in the $ψ(2S)π^-$ and $χ_{c1}π^-$, i.e. the Z(4430)-, Z_1(4050)-, and Z_2(4250)-, have generated a great deal of interest, because such states must have minimum quark content $(c\bar{c}d\bar{u})$, i.e. these are candidate four-quark state. The BABAR Collaboration does not confirm th…
We present preliminary results on the measurement of the I=1/2 $K π$ $\mathcal{S}$-wave through a model independent partial wave analysis of $η_c$ decays to $K^0_S K^+ π^-$ and $K^+ K^- π^0$ produced in two-photon interactions. We also perform a Dalitz plot analysis of the $J/ψ$ decays to $π^+ π^- π^0$ and $K^+ K^- π^0$ produced by the initial state radiation process.
Spectroscopy results for Belle and BaBar are reported. A particular focus is put on new results of the X(3872) state with its radiative decays to $J$/$ψ$$γ$ and $ψ'$$γ$, its decay into $J$/$ψ$3$π$ and the search for production in radiative Upsilon decays. Another focus is $L$=2 mesons, in particlar a possible $D$-wave assignment to the X(3872) and the confirmation of an Upsilon $D$-wave state.
There are many exotic properties of the charmonium and charmoniumlike states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold. The recent experimental results from BaBar and Belle on the new and conventional charmonium states are reviewed in this talk.
We confront predictions for hybrid charmonium and other gluonic excitations in the charm region with recently observed structures in the mass range above 3 GeV. The Y(4260), if resonant, is found to agree with expectations for hybrid charmonium. The possibility that other gluonic excitations may be influencing the data in this region is discussed.
A review of recent results concerning decays of charmed mesons, charmed baryons and $τ$ leptons for the Belle and BaBar Experiments is given. The review was presented at the 43$^{rd}$ Rencontres de Moriond (QCD and High Energy Interactions), LaThuile, March 8-15, 2008.
In this talk, I review the recent experimental developments on charmonium. These mainly include the precision measurements of spin-singlet states $\etac$, $\etac(2S)$, $h_c$, studies of the charmonium-like states X(3872) and the $Y$ states. Charmonium transitions and decays are also discussed.
New results of the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric e^+e^- collider are presented, in particular (a) measurement of the mass and width of the $η_c$ and $η_c'$ in B meson decays, (b) measurement of the mass, width and quantum numbers of the X(3872) and (c) observation of the $χ_{c2}$ in $B$ meson decays.
We report recent measurements of rare charmless B decays performed by BaBar. The results are based on the final BaBar dataset of 424 fb^{-1} collected at the PEP-II $B$-factory based at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Large production of the $\ccbar$ pairs and high integrated luminosity make the PEPII B-Factory, an excellent place for studying the charm hadrons. In this paper, we present a few of the most recent results from the BaBar collaboration in the charm sector.
This article summarises measurements of time-dependent CP asymmetries in decays of neutral B mesons to charm final states using data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B-factory. All results are preliminary unless otherwise stated.
We present measurements of branching fraction, polarization and charge asymmetry in charmless hadronic B decays with eta, eta', omega, and b_1 in the final state. All the results use the final BABAR dataset.
In recent years, lots of studies of charmonium decays have been performed at BESIII based on large data samples of $J/ψ$, $ψ(3686)$ and $ψ(3770)$. Recent results in searches for radiative transitions of $ψ(3770)$ and rare phenomena in charmonium decays, and studies of light hadrons structures and properties will be presented.
We present recent results on charmless hadronic B decays using data collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. We report measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries in several charmless two-body, three-body, and quasi-two-body decay modes. We also report measurements of polarization in charmless B decays to exclusive final states with two vector mesons.
Some recent results from the Fermilab fixed-target experiment E789 on production of charm, charmonium, and beauty are summarized and compared to model predictions. The data indicate that heavy-quark and quarkonium production are not yet entirely understood. The largest discrepancy concerns the rate of $ψ^\prime$ production, which is a factor $\approx$25 above expectations.
We present measurements of charmonium and bottomonium production using a data sample collected by CDF during the 1992-93 p-pbar collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron.
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of progress in the areas of charm and charmonium spectroscopy, in large part due to the very large data samples being accumulated at the e+e- B-Factories. In this presentation I will focus on results in three areas: the X/Y/Z charmonium-candidate states, the D_sJ charmed-strange mesons, and newly-discovered charmed baryons. Note the absence of a section on pentaquarks: all B-Factory searches for pentaquarks, charmed or otherwise, have not yielded any observation of such states.
We report recent measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of charmless hadronic B decays using the data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- collider.
In this mini-review we report on the most recent progress in charm meson spectroscopy. We discuss the precision measurements performed by the BaBar and CLEO-c experiments in the non strange charm meson part and we present the newly discovered strange charmed meson excited states.
The asymmetric B-factories have provided valuable information on CP violation so far. In particular, one of the angles of the Unitarity Triangle, phi1(=beta), has been measured by several approaches. Since FPCP2004, some measurements have been updated and improved. In this letter, the latest status of phi1 measurements, performed at BaBar and Belle experiments usgin B -> charm/charmonium decays, are reported.
During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $ψ^{'}$ and $ψ(3770)$ coming from BESII and CLEOc and many new discoveries coming from B-factories. In this paper, I review some new results on "classical" charmonium and $e^+ e^- \to$ hadrons using B-factory Initial State Radiation and two photon events.
A search for centrally produced charmonium states has been presented. There is no significant evidence for any charmonium production. An upper limit of 2 nb is found for the cross section of chic production using the decay chic(1P)-> J/psi gamma.
The CLEO-c Experiment has made several recent contributions to the study of charmonium decays. This review briefly outlines the CLEO-c analyses of charmonium that were completed or made public during 2010. Special attention is given to the discovery of the process e+e- to pi+pi-h_c at a center of mass energy of 4170 MeV.
The bottomonium and charmonium systems have long proved to be a rich source of QCD physics. Recent CLEO contributions in three disparate areas are presented: (1) the study of quark and gluon hadronization using $Υ$ decays; (2) the interpretation of heavy charmonium states, including non-$c\bar{c}$ candidates; and (3) the exploration of light quark physics using the decays of narrow charmonium states as a well-controlled source of light quark hadrons.
We present preliminary measurements of the branching fractions for charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states with kaons, pions and a phi resonance. The measurements are based on a data sample of approximately 23 million B-anti-B pairs collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC.
Using samples of 102 million $Υ(1S)$ and 158 million $Υ(2S)$ event samples collected with the Belle detector, we report on the first search for charge-parity-even charmonium and charmonium-like states in $Υ(1S)$ and $Υ(2S)$ radiative decays. No significant $χ_{cJ}$ or $η_c$ signal is observed and 90% C.L. limits on $\BR(Υ(nS)\to γχ_{cJ})$ ($n=1,2$ and $J=1,2,3$) are obtained. No significant signal of any charmonium-like state is observed. The product branching fraction limits $\BR(Υ(nS)\to γX(3872))$ $\BR(X(3872)\toπ^+π^-\jpsi)$, $\BR(Υ(nS)\to γX(3872))$ $\BR(X(3872)\toπ^+π^-π^0 \jpsi)$, $\BR(…
We report on the observation of the charm mesons D^\ast \pm, D^\pm and D_s ^\pm with 1.4 nb^-1 of data, and of the J/psi-->mu+mu- resonance with 78 nb-1 of data from the ATLAS detector in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The resultant signals support the high performance of the ATLAS detector as predicted from simulation and prospects for future measurements in the charm and charmonium sector.
In this paper recent results in the field of B meson decays to states containing charm are presented. These analyses are based on the 1999-2003 dataset collected by the BaBar experiment at the PEP-II e+e- storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Special attention is devoted to B decays to final states containing D mesons. In addition a few new results from B decays to charmonium states are reported.
We present direct CP violation measurements using the full BaBar dataset of 471 million BBbar pairs for the following charmless B decays: B0-->rho0Kstar0, B0-->f0Kstar0, B0-->rho-Kstar+ and for the Dalitz plots of B+-->K+K-K+, B+-->KsKsK+ and B0-->KsK+K-.
We report on several studies of charm baryon production and decays by the BaBar collaboration. We confirm previous observations of the $Ξ_c^{'0/+}$, $Ξ_c(2980)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3077)^+$ baryons, measure branching ratios for Cabibbo-suppressed $Λ_c^+$ decays and use baryon decays to study the properties of the light-quark baryons, $Ω^-$ and $Ξ(1690)^0$.
We see copious production of charmed hadrons in the early LHCb data. The status and plans for charm production studies at LHCb are discussed, and preliminary signals are shown.
The recent measurement results of exotic charmonium-like states, the so called XYZ particles, at BESIII have been presented. I mainly discussed the charged Zc(3900) state, its neutral partner, and possible excited states.
We present experimental measurements of branching fraction and longitudinal polarization fraction in charmless hadronic B decays into vector, axial vector and tensor final states with the final dataset of \babar . Measurements of such kind of decays are a powerful tool both to test the Standard Model and search possible sources of new physics.
In this talk, we review the recent experimental developments on charmonium and charm spectroscopy base on the data samples taken by the BESIII, Belle, LHCb and CMS experiments. We concentrate on the resonant parameter measurement of $χ_{cJ}$, $η_{c}$, $η_{c}(2S)$, observation of $ψ(1^{3}D_{3})$ candidate and alternative $χ_{c0}(2P)$ candidate, observation of excited $B_{c}$ states, $Ξ(2930)$ states, excited $Ω_{c}$ states and doubly charm baryon, and the study of $Λ_{c}^{*}$ states.
Fermilab experiment E835 has done an extensive set of studies on charmonium triplet P states. The most precise measurements on mass and total width come indeed from charmonium spectroscopy by direct formation of $c\bar{c}$ states in $\bar{p}p$ annihilations. Results on both partial widths and higher multipoles radiative transitions $χ_{cJ} \to J/ψγ\to γe^+ e^-$ are given, together with the $γγ$ widths of $χ_{c0}$ and $χ_{c2}$. For the first time in hadronic charmonium production, hadronic annihilation channels ($π^0 π^0$ and $ηη$) have been clearly identified at the $χ_{c0}$ resonance.
