Using a sample of 2.59 x 10^7$ psi(2S) decays collected by the CLEO--c detector, we present results of a search for the decay chain psi(2S) -> pi^0 h_c, h_c -> n(pi^+ pi^-) pi^0, n=1,2,3. We observe no significant signals for n=1 and n=3 and set upper limits for the corresponding decay rates. First evidence for the decay h_c {o}pi^+ pi^- pi^+ pi^- pi^0 is presented, and a product branching fraction of B(psi(2S) -> h_c) x B(h_c -> 2(pi^+ pi^-) pi^0)=1.88^{+0.48+0.47}_{-0.45-0.30} x 10^{-5} is measured. This result implies that h_c -> $ hadrons and h_c -> gamma eta_c have comparable rates, in agreement with expectations.

We report a search for $B^{0}$ decays into invisible final states using a data sample of $657 times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The signal is identified b y fully reconstructing a hadronic decay of the accompanying $B$ meson and requiring no other particles in the event. No significant signal is observed, and we obtain an upper limit of $1.3 times 10^{-4}$ at the 90% confidence level for the branching fraction of invisible $B^{0}$ decay.
We report a search for $B$ decays to selected final states with the $eta_c$ meson: $B^{pm}to K^{pm}eta_cpi^+pi^-$, $B^{pm}to K^{pm}eta_comega$, $B^{pm}to K^{pm}eta_ceta$ and $B^{pm}to K^{pm}eta_cpi^0$. The analysis is based on $772times 10^6$ $Bbar{B }$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions of the studied $B$ decay modes, independent of intermediate resonances, in the range $(0.6-5.3)times 10^{-4}$. We also search for molecular-state candidates in the $D^0bar{D}^{*0}-bar{D}^0D^{*0}$, $D^0bar{D}^0+bar{D}^0D^0$ and $D^{*0}bar{D}^{*0}+bar{D}^{*0}D^{*0}$ combinations, neutral partners of the $Z(3900)^{pm}$ and $Z(4020)^{pm}$, and a poorly understood state $X(3915)$ as possible intermediate states in the decay chain, and set 90% confidence level upper limits on the product of branching fractions to the mentioned intermediate states and decay branching fractions of these states in the range $(0.6-6.9)times 10^{-5}$.
We report the result from the first search for $D^0$ decays to invisible final states. The analysis is performed on a data sample of 924 $rm{fb}^{-1}$ collected at and near the $Upsilon(4S)$ and $Upsilon(5S)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. The absolute branching fraction is determined using an inclusive $D^0$ sample, obtained by fully reconstructing the rest of the particle system including the other charmed particle. No significant signal yield is observed and an upper limit of $9.4times 10^{-5}$ is set on the branching fraction of $D^0$ to invisible final states at 90% confidence level.
We report searches for $B^0torm{invisible}$ and $B^0torm{invisible}+gamma$ decays, where the energy of the photon is required to be larger than 0.5 GeV. These results are obtained from a $711,{rm fb}^{-1}$ data sample that contains $772 times 10^6 Bb ar{B}$ pairs and was collected near the $Upsilon,(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider. We observe no significant signal for either decay and set upper limits on their branching fractions at $90%$ confidence level of $mathcal{B},(B^0torm{invisible}) < 7.8times10^{-5}$ and $mathcal{B},(B^0torm{invisible}+gamma) < 1.6times10^{-5}$.
The LHCb collaboration has presented first experimental evidence that spin-carrying matter and antimatter differ. The study looked at four-body decays of the $Lambda_b^0$ baryon. Differences in the behaviour of matter and antimatter are associated wi th the non-invariance of fundamental interactions under the combined charge-conjugation and parity transformations, known as $C!P$ violation. We discuss purely baryonic decay processes, i.e. decay processes involving only spin-carrying particles. They are yet unexplored elementary processes. Their study opens a new chapter of flavour physics in the route towards a better understanding of $C!P$ violation. It may help us to understand the observed matter and antimatter asymmetry of the Universe.
