Abstract

In this work, we investigate the re-scattering effects in the radiative decay Υ(5S)ηb+γ\Upsilon(5S)\to\eta_b+\gamma, which were suggested to be crucially important for understanding the anomalous largeness of the branching ratios B(Υ(5S)Υ(1S)+ππ)B(\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon(1S)+\pi\pi) and B(Υ(5S)Υ(1S)+η)B(\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon(1S)+\eta). Our calculations show that the re-scattering effects may enhance Γ(Υ(10860)ηb+γ)\Gamma(\Upsilon(10860)\to \eta_b+\gamma) by four orders, but the tetraquark structure does not. Recently the BaBar and CLEO collaborations have measured the mass of ηb{\eta_b} and the branching ratios B(Υ(2S)ηb+γ)\mathcal{B}(\Upsilon(2S)\rightarrow\eta_b+\gamma), B(Υ(3S)ηb+γ)\mathcal{B}(\Upsilon(3S)\rightarrow\eta_b+\gamma). We hope that very soon, Υ(10860)ηb+γ\Upsilon(10860)\to \eta_b+\gamma will be measured and it would be an ideal opportunity for testing whether the re-scattering or the tetraquark structure is responsible for the anomaly of B(Υ(5S)Υ(nS)π+π(n=1,2,3))\mathcal{B}\big(\Upsilon(5S)\rightarrow\Upsilon(nS)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2,3)\big), i.e.i.e., the future measurements on the radiative decays of Υ(5S)\Upsilon(5S) might be a touchstone of the two mechanisms.
