Abstract

We have evaluated the decay modes of the Υ(4s),Υ(3d),Υ(5s),Υ(6s)\Upsilon(4s), \Upsilon(3d), \Upsilon(5s), \Upsilon(6s) states into BBˉ,BBˉ+c.c.,BBˉ,BsBˉs,BsBˉs+c.c.,BsBˉsB\bar B, B\bar B^*+c.c., B^* \bar B^*, B_s \bar B_s, B_s \bar B^*_s +c.c., B^*_s \bar B_s^* using the 3P0^3P_0 model to hadronize the bbˉb\bar b vector seed, fitting some parameters to the data. We observe that the Υ(4s)\Upsilon(4s) state has an abnormally large amount of meson-meson components in the wave function, while the other states are largely bbˉb\bar b. We predict branching ratios for the different decay channels which can be contrasted with experiment for the case of the Υ(5s)\Upsilon(5s) state. While globally the agreement is fair, we call the attention to some disagreement that could be a warning for the existence of more elaborate components in the state.
