Abstract

Invoked by the recent CMS observation regarding candidates of the χb(3P)\chi_b(3P) multiplet, we analyze the ultrafine and mass splittings among 3P3P multiplet in our unquenched quark model (UQM) studies. The mass difference of χb2\chi_{b2} and χb1\chi_{b1} in 3P3P multiplet measured by CMS collaboration (10.6±0.64±0.1710.6 \pm 0.64 \pm 0.17 MeV) is very close to our theoretical prediction (1212 MeV). Our corresponding mass splitting of χb1\chi_{b1} and χb0\chi_{b0} enables us to predict more precisely the mass of χb0(3P)\chi_{b0}(3P) to be (10490±310490\pm 3) MeV. Moreover, we predict ratios of the radiative decays of χbJ(nP)\chi_{bJ}(nP) candidates, both in UQM and quark potential model. Our predicted relative branching fraction of χb0(3P)Υ(3S)γ\chi_{b0}(3P)\to\Upsilon(3S)\gamma is one order of magnitude smaller than χb2(3P)\chi_{b2}(3P), this naturally explains the non-observation of χb0(3P)\chi_{b0}(3P) in recent CMS search. We hope these results might provide useful references for forthcoming experimental searches.
