Abstract

We discuss the possibility that production of final states with bottomonium and light mesons at the peak Υ(6S)\Upsilon(6S) in the e+ee^+e^- annihilation at approximately 11.00 GeV is in fact due to a triangular singularity at the threshold of the heavy meson pair production B1(5721)Bˉ+c.c.B_1(5721) \bar B + c.c. through the process e+eB1(5721)BˉZb(10610)πe^+e^- \to B_1(5721) \bar B \to Z_b(10610) \, \pi. The presence of the hidden-bottom resonance Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) then explains the observed enhanced production of the final channels with both ortho- and para- bottomonium states, Υ(nS)ππ\Upsilon(nS) \pi \pi and hb(kP)ππh_b(kP) \pi \pi. The discussed mechanism also predicts a distinct pattern for production of hidden-bottom states at the Υ(6S)\Upsilon(6S) energy that can be tested by experiment.
