Abstract

The bottomonium spectrum is systematically studied within an unquenched quark model. Based on a good description of both the masses and widths for the well-established states, we further give predictions for the higher SS-, PP-, and DD-wave bottomonium states up to a mass region of 11.3\sim 11.3 GeV. For the vector states, the SS-DD mixing and dielectron decays are studied. Additionally, to understand the role of the higher vector resonances in the e+ee^{+}e^{-} annihilation reaction, we evaluate the cross section by combining our quark model predictions for the mass, dielectron and strong decay properties. It is found that (i) The mass shifts of the high bbˉb\bar{b} states due to the coupled-channel effects are the order of a few tens MeV, most of the high-lying resonances contain significant non-bbˉb\bar{b} components. (ii) The Υ1(3D,5D,6D)\Upsilon_1(3D,5D,6D) states significantly mix with Υ(4S,6S,7S)\Upsilon(4S,6S,7S), respectively, which is mainly induced by the intermediate hadronic loops. (iii) The non-bbˉb\bar{b} components will lead a significant suppression for the dielectron decay widths of some vector resonances.(iv) The threshold effects of open-bottom meson pairs can cause rich bump structures in the cross section of e+ebbˉe^{+}e^{-}\to b\bar{b}. Our model shows that the Υ(10753)\Upsilon(10753) may arise from threshold effects due to the strong coupling between Υ(4S)\Upsilon(4S) and BˉB\bar{B}^*B^*.
