The latest results of CMS in the area of exotic quarkonium decays will be presented: observation of a peaking structure in $J/psiPhi$ mass spectrum in the decay $B^pm rightarrow J/psi Phi K^pm$, search for new bottomonium states in $Upsilon(1mathrm{S})pi^+pi^-$ mass spectrum, measurement of prompt $J/psi$ pair production.
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. The $BABAR$ and Belle experiments have extensively studied those in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. We can question what we have understood after 11 year search in this field, and try to combine results to conclude on what these new unpredicted resonant states are, and how they can be accommodated in the theory. Big effort has been made from theoretical and experimental point of view, as the potential models unlikely explain the presence of so many enhancements, for mass values above the $D bar D$ threshold. In this report the $BABAR$ and Belle results of the two invariant mass systems of $J/psi phi$ and $J/psi omega$ are put in comparison in a search for non-conventional charmonium states. This involves the study of the systems of $J/psi K^+ K^-$ and $J/psi pi^+ pi^- pi^0$, respectively. There are strong theoretical arguments in favor of the presence of hybrids or exotic states, in those invariant mass distributions. Remarks on these data analyses are given, based on the $BABAR$ and Belle experimental results.
We present searches for massive top and bottom quark partners at CMS using LHC pp collision data collected at centre-of-mass energy $sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV. Such partners can be found in models predicting vector-like quarks to solve the hierarchy problem and stabilize the Higgs boson mass. The searches span a range of final states containing several lepton and jet multiplicities, and limits were set on mass and production cross sections as a function of branching ratios.
In this short review we present and discuss all the experimental information about the charged exotic charmonium states, which have been observed over the last five years. We try to understand their properties such as masses and decay widths with QCD sum rules. We describe this method, show the results and compare them with the experimental data and with other theoretical approaches.
During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $psi^{}$ and $psi(3770)$ 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.
Many new states in the charmonium and bottomonium mass region were recently discovered by the BaBar, Belle and CDF Collaborations. We use the QCD Sum Rule approach to study the possible structure of some of these states. In particular we identify the recently observed bottomonium-like resonance $Z_b^+(10610)$ with the first excitation of the tetraquark $X_b(1^{++})$, the analogue of the X(3872) state in the charm sector.
