Abstract

π+π\pi^+\pi^- transitions of heavy quarkonia, especially the Υ(3S)Υ(1S)π+π \Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^- decay process, are revisited. In the framework of the Chiral Unitary Theory (ChUT), the SS wave ππ\pi\pi final state interaction (FSI) is included. It is found that when an additional intermediate state with JP=1+J^P=1^+ and I=1 is introduced, not only the ππ \pi\pi invariant mass spectrum and the cosθπcos\theta_\pi^* distribution in the Υ(3S)Υ(1S)π+π\Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^- process can simultaneously be well-explained, but also a consistent description for other bottomonia π+π \pi^+\pi^- transitions can be obtained. As a consequence, the mass and the width of the intermediate state are predicted. From the quark content analysis, this state should be a bbˉqqˉb\bar bq\bar q state.
