Abstract

The exclusive decay of Υ\Upsilon to a vector plus pseudoscalar charmonium is studied in perturbative QCD. The corresponding branching ratios are predicted to be of order 10610^{-6} for first three Υ\Upsilon resonances, and we expect these decay modes should be discovered in the prospective high-luminosity e+ee^+e^- facilities such as super BB experiment. As a manifestation of the short-distance loop contribution, the relative phases among strong, electromagnetic and radiative decay amplitudes can be deduced. It is particularly interesting to find that the relative phase between strong and electromagnetic amplitudes is nearly orthogonal. The resonance-continuum interference effect for double charmonium production near various Υ\Upsilon resonances in e+ee^+e^- annihilation is addressed.
