Hints of new physics in bottomonium decays and spectroscopy

Abstract

A non-standard light CP-odd Higgs boson could induce a slight (but observable) lepton universality breakdown in Upsilon leptonic decays. Moreover, the mixing between such a pseudoscalar Higgs and ηb\eta_b states might shift the mass levels of the latter, thereby changing the values of the mΥ(nS)mηb(nS)m_{\Upsilon(nS)}-m_{\eta_b(nS)} splittings predicted in the standard model. Besides, also the ηb\eta_b width could be broader than expected, with potentially negative consequences for its discovery in both e+ee^+e^- and hadron colliders.
