Description

Several charmonium-like states above DD-bar threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B meson decays (e.g. X(3872), Y(3940), and Z(4430)-). The Z(4430)- state has generated a great deal of interest, having minimum quark content (cc-bar du-bar) and, thus, representing the unequivocal manifestation of a four-quark meson state. Here we summarize recent BABAR results on the Y(4260), X(3872), Y(3940), and on a search for the Z(4430)-.
