چکیده
A precision measurement of the mass of the h_{c}(1P1) state of charmonium has been made using a sample of 24.5x10;{6} psi(2S) events produced in e;{+}e;{-} annihilation at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The reaction used was psi(2S)-->pi;{0}h_{c}, pi;{0}-->gammagamma, h_{c}-->gammaeta_{c}, and the reaction products were detected in the CLEO-c detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive reaction and for the exclusive reactions in which eta_{c} decays are reconstructed in 15 hadronic decay channels. Consistent results are obtained in the two analyses. The averaged results of the present measurements are M(h_{c})=3525.28+/-0.19(stat.)+/-0.12(syst.) MeV, and B(psi(2S)-->pi;{0}h_{c})xB(h_{c}-->gammaeta_{c})=(4.19+/-0.32+/-0.45)x10;{-4}. Using the ;{3}P_{J} centroid mass, DeltaM_{hf}(1P) identical withM(chi_{cJ})-M(h_{c})=+0.02+/-0.19+/-0.13 MeV.

An Experimental Review of Charmonium
This review briefly outlines recent experimental results from the charmonium system. These include new measurements of the M1 radiative transition rates B(ψ(1S, 2S)→ γηc(1S)); new insights into the mass of the ηc(1S); the observation of J/ψ(1S) decays to three photons; new measurements of the two-photon widths of the χcJ (1P ); the observation of radiative decays of the χcJ (1P ) to light quark...
متن کاملNew Results From CLEO and BES
Latest experimental results from BES in the charmonium mass region, and those from CLEO in the bottomonium and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed. 1. Preamble I am going to talk about new results from CLEO and BES, two detectors half a world apart, trying to catch the same particles. CLEO used to do physics in the b-quark region ( √ s = 9 − 11 GeV). It has many credits in bottomonium (bb̄) spe...
متن کاملcharmonium production at the Tevatron
The production of the P1 charmonium state, hc, at large-pT at the Tevatron is considered. The colour-octet contributions to this state are found to be dominant and give a reasonably large rate for the production of hc. This should make it feasible to look for this resonance in the J/ψ + π decay channel. This production rate is a prediction of NRQCD, and the observation of the hc at the Tevatron...

The semileptonic decays of meson Bc to a P-wave charmonium state χc( PJ) or hc( P1) are computed. The results show that the decays are sizable so they are accessible in Tevatron and in LHC, especially, with the detectors LHCB and BTeV in the foreseeable future, and of them, the one to the P1 charmonium state potentially offers us a novel window to see the unconfirmed hc particle. In addition, i...
