Is Upsilon(3S) a pure S-wave?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-01-27 v1

Abstract

Assuming the QCD multipole expansion is applicable to hadronic transitions of Upsilon(3S) into lower level bottomonia, we consider the possibility that Upsilon(3S) has a D-wave component. This assumption leads to a natural explanation of the pi-pi spectrum in Upsilon(3S) -> Upsilon(1S) pi-pi. Consequences of this assumption on other hadronic and radiative transitions of Upsilon(3S) are also discussed in the same context.
