Abstract

It is argued that the observed enhancement of the hadronic transition Upsilon(4S) -> Upsilon(1S) eta relative to Upsilon(4S) -> Upsilon(1S) pi pi can be explained if the resonance Upsilon(4S) contains an admixture of a four-quark component, possibly due to the coupling to the meson channel B \bar B. A test of the discussed mechanism by searching for the transition Upsilon(4S) -> Upsilon(1S) eta'(958) is suggested. Some properties of possible four-quark states related to the suggested one by the heavy quark spin symmetry are also discussed.
