The cross section for ee+ e- → π+ π- J/ψ between 3.8 and 5.5 GeV is measured with a 967  fb(-1) data sample collected by the Belle detector at or near the Υ(nS) (n = 1,2,…,5) resonances. The Y(4260) state is observed, and its resonance parameters are determined. In addition, an excess of π+ π- J/ψ production around 4 GeV is observed. This feature can be described by a Breit-Wigner parametrization with properties that are consistent with the Y(4008) state that was previously reported by Belle. In a study of Y(4260) → π+ π- J/ψ decays, a structure is observed in the M(π(±)J/ψ) mass spectrum with 5.2σ significance, with mass M = (3894.5 ± 6.6 ± 4.5)  MeV/c2 and width Γ = (63 ± 24 ± 26)  MeV/c2, where the errors are statistical and systematic, respectively. This structure can be interpreted as a new charged charmoniumlike state.

We report the results of a study of the exclusive semileptonic decays B − → π 0 ℓ −ν ℓ ,B 0 → π + ℓ −ν ℓ , B − → ρ 0 ℓ −ν ℓ ,B 0 → ρ + ℓ −ν ℓ and B − → ωℓ −ν ℓ , where ℓ represents an electron or a muon. The events are tagged by fully reconstructing a second B meson in the event in a hadronic decay mode. The measured branching fractions are B(B − → π 0 ℓ −ν ℓ) = (0.80 ± 0.08 ± 0.04) × 10 −4 , B(B 0 → π + ℓ −ν ℓ) = (1.49 ± 0.09 ± 0.07) × 10 −4 , B(B − → ρ 0 ℓ −ν ℓ) = (1.83 ± 0.10 ± 0.10) × 10 −4 , B(B 0 → ρ + ℓ −ν ℓ) = (3.22 ± 0.27 ± 0.24) × 10 −4 , and B(B − → ωℓ −ν ℓ) = (1.07 ± 0.16 ± 0.07) × 10 −4 , where the first error is statistical and the second one is systematic. The obtained branching fractions are inclusive of soft photon emission. We also determine the branching fractions as a function of the 4-momentum transfer squared to the leptonic system q 2 = (p ℓ + p ν) 2 , where p ℓ and p ν are the lepton and neutrino 4-momenta, respectively. Using the pion modes, a recent LCSR calculation, lattice QCD results and a model-independent description of the hadronic form factor, a value of the CKM matrix element |V ub | = (3.52 ± 0.29) × 10 −3 is extracted. For the first time, a charmless state with invariant mass greater than 1 GeV/c 2 , which might be dominated by the decay B − → f 2 ℓ −ν ℓ , is observed. These results are obtained from a 711 fb −1 data sample that contains 772 × 10 6 BB pairs, collected near the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e + e − collider.

We report measurements of B→χ(c1)γK and χ(c2)γK decays using 772×10(6) BB[over ¯] events collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. Evidence of a new resonance in the χ(c1)γ final state is found with a statistical significance of 3.8σ. This state has a mass of 3823.1±1.8(stat)±0.7(syst) MeV/c(2), a value that is consistent with theoretical expectations for the previously unseen 1(3)D(2) cc[over ¯] meson. We find no other narrow resonance and set upper limits on the branching fractions of the X(3872)→χ(c1)γ and χ(c2)γ decays.
