We report the results of a search for a charmonium-like state produced in the process gamma gamma --> omega J/psi in the 3.9-4.2 GeV/c^2 mass region. We observe a significant enhancement, which is well-described by a resonant shape with mass M = (3915 +/- 3 +/- 2) MeV/c^2 and total width Gamma = (17 +/- 10 +/- 3) MeV. This enhancement may be related to one or more of the three charmonium-like states so far reported in the 3.90-3.95 GeV/c^2 mass region.

We study the $e^+e^-togammaomega J/psi$ process using $11.6 ~rm fb^{-1}$ $e^+ e^-$ annihilation data taken at center-of-mass energies from $sqrt{s}=4.008~rm GeV$ to $4.600~rm GeV$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring. The $X(3872)$ resonance is observed for the first time in the $omega J/psi$ system with a significance of more than $5sigma$. The relative decay ratio of $X(3872)toomega J/psi$ and $pi^+pi^- J/psi$ is measured to be $mathcal{R}=1.6^{+0.4}_{-0.3}pm0.2$, where the first error is statistical and the second systematic (the same hereafter). The $sqrt{s}$-dependent cross section of $e^+e^-togamma X(3872)$ is also measured and investigated, and it can be described by a single Breit-Wigner resonance, referred to as the $Y(4200)$, with a mass of $4200.6^{+7.9}_{-13.3}pm3.0~{rm MeV}/c^2$ and a width of $115^{+38}_{-26}pm12~{rm MeV}$. In addition, to describe the $omega J/psi$ mass distribution above $3.9~rm GeV/c^2$, we need at least one additional Breit-Wigner resonance, labeled as $X(3915)$, in the fit. The mass and width of the $X(3915)$ are measured to be $3926.4pm2.2pm1.2~rm MeV/c^2$ and $3.8pm7.5pm2.6~rm MeV$, or $3932.6pm8.7pm4.7~rm MeV/c^2$ and $59.7pm15.5pm3.7~rm MeV$, respectively, depending on the fit models. The resonant parameters of the $X(3915)$ agree with those of the $Y(3940)$ in $Bto Komega J/psi$ and of the $X(3915)$ in $gammagammatoomega J/psi$ by the Belle and BABAR experiments within errors.
From e+e- collision data acquired with the CLEO detector at CESR, we observe the non-D Dbar decay psi(3770)->gamma chi_c1 with a statistical significance of 6.6 standard deviations, using the two-photon cascades to J/psi and J/psi->l+l-. We determine sigma(e+e- -> psi(3770)) x BR(psi(3770)->gamma chi_c1) =(18.0 pm3.3 pm2.5) pb and branching fraction BR(psi(3770)->gamma chi_c1)=(2.8+-0.5+-0.4) x 10^-3. We set 90% C.L. upper limits for the transition to chi_c2 (chi_c0) : sigma x BR < 5.7 pb (< 282 pb) and BR < 0.9 x 10^-3 (<44 x 10^-3). We also determine Gamma(psi(3770)->gamma chi_c1)/Gamma(psi(3770)->pi+pi-J/psi) =1.5+-0.3+-0.3 (>1.0 at 90 % C.L.), which bears upon the interpretation of X(3872).
We report the first observation of the decay J/psi --> 3 gamma. The signal has a statistical significance of 6 sigma and corresponds to a branching fraction of B(J/psi --> 3 gamma) = (1.2 +- 0.3 +- 0.2) x 10^-5, in which the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. The measurement uses psi(2S) --> pi+ pi- J/psi events acquired with the CLEO-c detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider.
The cross section for $e^+ e^- to pi^+ pi^- J/psi$ between 3.8 GeV and 5.5 GeV is measured with a 967 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by the Belle detector at or near the $Upsilon(nS)$ ($n = 1, 2, ..., 5$) resonances. The Y(4260) state is observed, and its resonance parameters are determined. In addition, an excess of $pi^+ pi^- J/psi$ production around 4 GeV is observed. This feature can be described by a Breit-Wigner parameterization with properties that are consistent with the Y(4008) state that was previously reported by Belle. In a study of $Y(4260) to pi^+ pi^- J/psi$ decays, a structure is observed in the $M(pi^pmjpsi)$ mass spectrum with $5.2sigma$ significance, with mass $M=(3894.5pm 6.6pm 4.5) {rm MeV}/c^2$ and width $Gamma=(63pm 24pm 26)$ MeV/$c^{2}$, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. This structure can be interpreted as a new charged charmonium-like state.
A search for the rare decay of a $B^{0}$ or $B^{0}_{s}$ meson into the final state $J/psigamma$ is performed, using data collected by the LHCb experiment in $pp$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb$^{-1}$. The observed number of signal candidates is consistent with a background-only hypothesis. Branching fraction values larger than $1.7times 10^{-6}$ for the $B^{0}to J/psigamma$ decay mode are excluded at 90% confidence level. For the $B^{0}_{s}to J/psigamma$ decay mode, branching fraction values larger than $7.4times 10^{-6}$ are excluded at 90% confidence level, this is the first branching fraction limit for this decay.
