We have evaluated the decay modes of the $\Upsilon(4s), \Upsilon(3d), \Upsilon(5s), \Upsilon(6s)$ states into $B\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 $^3P_0$ model to…
Although heavy-quark symmetry predicts a $B_1\bar{B}$ molecular partner of the $D_1\bar{D}$ molecule, no such state has been observed. We propose that the experimentally observed $\Upsilon(11020)$ may be a candidate for such a state,…
We present a proposal for detecting new physics at a B-factory running at the $\Upsilon(3S)$ resonance by testing lepton universality to the few percent level in the leptonic decays of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(2S)$ resonances tagged…
In this work, we study the contributions of the intermediate bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states and the bottom meson loops in the heavy quark spin flip transitions $\Upsilon(4S) \to h_b(1P,2P) \pi^+\pi^-$. Depending on the constructive or…
We examine the electronic width ratios of Upsilon resonances below the BBbar threshold by means of an effective (Cornell-type) QCD potential incorporating 1/m_b corrections obtained from a prior fit to the bottomonium spectrum. From our…
The decays Upsilon(4S) -> BB, followed by B -> D* pi and D* -> D pi, permit reconstruction of all kinematic quantities that describe the sequence without reconstruction of the D, with reasonably low backgrounds. Using an integrated e+e-…
We search for invisible decays of the Upsilon(1S) meson using a sample of 91.4 x 10^{6} Upsilon(3S) mesons collected at the BaBar/PEP-II B-factory. We select events containing the decay Upsilon(3S) -> pi+ pi- Upsilon(1S) and search for…
In the bottomonium sector, the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transitions between P-wave states $h_b(2P) \rightarrow \chi_{bJ}(1P) \gamma$, $J=0, \, 1, \, 2$, are expected to be severely suppressed according to the Relativized Quark Model,…
Considering the defects of the previous work for estimating the anomalous production rates of $e^+e^-\to \Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-,\,\Upsilon(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ near the peak of the $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonance at $\sqrt s=10.87$ GeV [K.F. Chen {\it…
We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance collected with the CLEO-II detector operating at CESR. We present the first observation of the radiative decays Upsilon(1S)->gamma pi+pi- and Upsilon(1S)->gamma…
Recent results from the CLEO experiment on decays and partial widths of various bottomonium and charmonium resonances are presented. New measurements of the di-electron partial widths for the 3 bound-state Upsilons and the J/psi are…
In this work, we investigate the characteristics of the spin-singlet state $\eta_b$ of the bottomonia family via the radiative decays of $\Upsilon(nS)\to \eta_b+\gamma$. The theoretical estimation of the decay widths is carried out in terms…
psi and Upsilon decays may be used to search for light neutral spin-1 or spin-0 bosons associated with a broken extra-U(1) symmetry, local or global, acting axially on quarks and leptons, as may be present in supersymmetric theories with a…
CP-violating signals in weak $ \Xi\to \pi \Lambda$ decay require the knowledge of $\pi \Lambda$ $S$- and $P$-wave scattering phases at ${m}_{\Xi}$ center-of-mass energy. We have calculated these phases in baryon chiral perturbation theory…
We study the bottomonium spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark model with the coupled-channel effects. The mass shifts and valence $b\bar{b}$ component are evaluated to be rather large. We find that the hadronic loop effects can be…
We compute the electric dipole transitions $\chi_{bJ}(1P)\to \gamma\Upsilon(1S)$, with $J=0,1,2$, and $h_{b}(1P)\to \gamma\eta_{b}(1S)$ in a model-independent way. We use potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) at weak coupling with either…
We search for single-photon decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance, Upsilon->gamma+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs boson A0, or a pair of dark matter particles, chi chi-bar.…
We analyze the decays of the theoretically predicted lowest bottomonium hybrid $H(1P)$ to open bottom two-meson states. We do it by embedding a quark pair creation model into the Born-Oppenheimer framework which allows for a unified,…
I present highlights of recent CLEO studies on the Upsilon(1S), Upsilon(2S), and Upsilon(3S). The preliminary results presented here include the first observation of a hadronic cascade in the Upsilon system not involving pions, Upsilon(3S)…
