I would ask what is the state of a process whose program program non
respond anymore???

It can be almost any state depending on why it's not responding. If it's stuck in an infinite loop, it will be "R". If it's deadlocked or just confused about it's input, it could be in "S". If there's a kernel problem or it's stuck in some I/O, it could be in "D" state. That's the worst one, because sometimes you can't even kill it with -9. But these are still just examples, there are many causes, so you really can't tell from the process state if it's not responding.

And also what (generally) the value of states of processes  (S, S<, SN,
SNsl, Ssl, etc...) means ??

"man ps".  Look in the section called "PROCESS STATE CODES".
