Summary (lecture 1) The charmonium spectrum is strong evidence that hadrons are composed of spin=1/2 constituent particles All of the charmonium states below the M=2mD “open charm” threshold have been found Most of the above-threshold 1- - states & the cc2’ have been identified The masses of the assigned states match theory predictions -variations are less than ~50 MeV Transitions between charmonium states are in reasonably good agreement with theoretical expectations

The “XYZ” mesons

Concluding remarks Charmonium mesons are strong evidence for quarks All the lowest-lying charmonium states have been found Good agreement between their measured properties & theory Charmonium is the “best understood” hadronic system Higher-mass charmonium meson searches have produced surprizes A number of non-charmonium meson candidates have been found. They have strong transitions to ordinary charmonium states Corresponding states sem to exist in the b-qyark & s-quark sectors Most of the new states are in the BEPC-II Ecm range We have to figure out how to access them (& find new ones) So far only final states with a J/y or y’ have been studied e.g., final states with an hc or a hc may be interesting Lots of opportunities for BES III Need creativity and new ideas

Thank You 謝謝 감사합니다
