Hadroproduction of $\Upsilon(nS)$ above $B\bar B$ Thresholds and Implications for $Y_b(10890)$
Abstract
Based on the non-relativistic QCD factorization scheme, we study the hadroproduction of the bottomonium states and . We argue to search for them in the final states , which are found to have anomalously large production rates at . The enhanced rates for the dipionic transitions in the -energy region could, besides , be ascribed to , a state reported by the Belle collaboration, which may be interpreted as a tetraquark. The LHC/Tevatron measurements are capable of making a case in favor of or against the existence of , as demonstrated here. Dalitz analysis of the states from the decays also impacts directly on the interpretation of the charged bottomonium-like states, and , discovered by Belle in these puzzling decays.
