Abstract:
We outline a coherent strategy for exploring the four remaining narrow charmonium states [eta(')(c)(2(1)S0), h(c)(1(1)P1), eta(c2)(1(1)D2), and psi(2)(1(3)D2)] expected to lie below charm threshold. Produced in B-meson decays, these levels should be identifiable now via striking radiative transitions among charmonium levels and in exclusive final states of kaons and pions. Their production and decay rates will provide much needed new tests for theoretical descriptions of heavy quarkonia.

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied first.
