Abstract

We compute the electric dipole transitions χbJ(1P)γΥ(1S)\chi_{bJ}(1P)\to \gamma\Upsilon(1S), with J=0,1,2J=0,1,2, and hb(1P)γηb(1S)h_{b}(1P)\to \gamma\eta_{b}(1S) in a model-independent way. We use potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) at weak coupling with either the Coulomb potential or the complete static potential incorporated in the leading order Hamiltonian. In the last case, the perturbative series shows very mild scale dependence and a good convergence pattern, allowing predictions for all the transition widths. Assuming ΛQCDmv2\Lambda_{\text{QCD}} \ll mv^2, the precision that we reach is kγ3/(mv)2×O(v2)k_{\gamma}^{3}/(mv)^{2} \times \mathcal{O}(v^{2}), where kγk_{\gamma} is the photon energy, mm is the mass of the heavy quark and vv its relative velocity. Our results are: Γ(χb0(1P)γΥ(1S))=282+2 keV\Gamma(\chi_{b0}(1P)\to \gamma\Upsilon(1S)) = 28^{+2}_{-2}~\text{keV}, Γ(χb1(1P)γΥ(1S))=372+2 keV\Gamma(\chi_{b1}(1P)\to \gamma\Upsilon(1S)) = 37^{+2}_{-2}~\text{keV}, Γ(χb2(1P)γΥ(1S))=453+3 keV\Gamma(\chi_{b2}(1P)\to \gamma\Upsilon(1S)) = 45^{+3}_{-3}~\text{keV} and Γ(hb(1P)γηb(1S))=636+6 keV\Gamma(h_b(1P)\to \gamma\eta_b(1S)) = 63^{+6}_{-6}~\text{keV}.
