Higher Charmonium
arXiv:hep-ph/0412057 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/9/1/024
Abstract
This contribution briefly discusses some new theoretical results for the properties of charmonium, especially the "higher charmonium" states above open-charm threshold. In particular we discuss the spectrum of states, open-flavor strong decays, and the surprisingly large effects of virtual decay loops of charmed meson pairs.
