Properties of non-q\bar{q} XYZ mesons and results of a search for the H-dibaryon

A number of charmonium- and bottomonium-like meson states have been observed that have properties that do not match well to expectations for the simple quark-antiquark substructure suggested by the constituent quark model. Some of them are electrically charged and decay to final states containing hidden charmonum or bottomonium mesons and, thus, must contain at least four quarks. Common properties of these so-called XYZ mesons are partial widths for decays to hidden quarkonium states plus light hadrons that are much larger than corresponding partial widths for established quarkonium mesons. I review some recent results from the Belle experiment, including the recent discovery of two charged bottomium-like states, the Z_b(10610)^+ and Z_b(10650)^+, that decay to pi^+pi^- h_b(mS) (m=1,2) and pi^+ Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3) final states. In addition, I present recent Belle results from a search for H-dibaryon production in inclusive Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) decays.

News from BESIII

BESIII is a new state-of-the-art 4pi detector at the recently upgraded BEPCII two-ring e+e- collider at the Institute of High Energy Physics in Beijing. It has been in operation for three years, during which time it has collected the world's largest data samples of J/psi, psi' and psi(3770) decays. These data are being used to make a variety of interesting and unique studies of light-hadron spectroscopy, precision charmonium physics and high-statistics measurements of D-meson decays. Results that I describe in this report include studies of ao(980)-fo(980) mixing, an observation of a large isospin-violation in eta(1405)-->pi0fo(980) decays, some puzzles in J/psi and psi' decays to light hadrons, the observation of two glueball candidate states in radiative J/psi-->gamma pi+pi-eta' decays and some recent precision measurements of eta_c and h_c lineshapes.
