We present the first observation of the bottomonium ground state eta_b(1S) in the photon energy spectrum using a sample of 109+/-1 million of Upsilon(3S) events recorded at the Upsilon(3S) energy with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B…
We use 111+/-1 million Upsilon(3S) and 89+/-1 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory at SLAC to perform a study of radiative transitions between bottomonium states using photons that have been…
From first principles, particles with the same quark content and similar masses should have similar kinematic distributions. Transverse mass scaling may be employed to estimate possible differences in the momentum distribution of such…
We make a detailed discussion on the one-loop QCD correction to the bottomonium production associated with a photon, i.e. via the channel $e^{+}e^{-} \to\gamma^*/Z^0 \to |H_{b\bar{b}}\rangle + \gamma$, where $|H_{b\bar{b}}\rangle$ stands…
Bottomonium production in heavy ion collisions is modified compared with any simple extrapolation from elementary collisions. This modification is most likely caused by the presence of a deconfined system of quarks and gluons for times of…
We study the bottomonium spectrum using a relativistic potential model in the momentum space. This model is based on a complete one gluon exchange interaction with a momentum dependent screening factor to account for the effects due to…
Using our extension of the quark potential model to hybrid mesons that fits well to the available lattice results, we now calculate the masses, radii, wave functions at origin, leptonic and two photon decay widths, E1 and M1 radiative…
The bottomonium spectrum, consisting of bound states of a $b$ quark and an anti-$b$ quark, provides an excellent laboratory for probing quantum chromodynamics in the non-perturbative regime. While $S$ and $P$-wave bottomonium states are…
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,…
Using the same quenched limit as input, we compare the charmonium spectra predicted by the coupled-channel model and the screened potential model in the mass region below 4 GeV, in which the contributions from decay channels involving…
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (b-bbar) states other than the dipion transitions among upsns states. In our study of Y(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Y(3S) ->…
The bottomonium spectrum up to $n = 3$ is studied within Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics up to N$^3$LO. We consider finite charm quark mass effects both in the QCD potential and the $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$-pole mass relation up to…
We review the studies of transitions and decays of bottomonium states from the e+ e- data recorded by the Belle detector at various Upsilon-resonances. We also report a recent study of the branching fractions of \chi_{bJ}(1P) to 41 hadronic…
I review recent calculations of the suppression of bottomonium states in heavy ion collisions. A non-relativistic potential is used which is complex valued. This allows one to extract the binding energies and decay widths of the ground and…
The possibility to observe new bottomonium states with $J^{PC}= 1^{--}$ in the region $10.7-11.1$ GeV is discussed. The analysis of the di-electron widths shows that the $(n+1)^3S_1$ and $n^3D_1$ states ($n\geq 3$) may be mixed with a…
The bottomonium spectrum is far from being established. The structures of higher vector states, including the $\Upsilon(10580)$, $\Upsilon(10860)$, and $\Upsilon(11020)$ states, are still in dispute. In addition, whether the…
We calculate the in-medium masses of the bottomonium states ($\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, $\Upsilon(3S)$ and $\Upsilon(4S)$) in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter at finite temperatures. The medium modifications of the masses…
The bottom-charmed ($B_c$) mesons are more stable than their charmonium ($c\bar c$) and bottomium ($b\bar b$) partners because they cannot annihilate into gluons. However, the low production cross-sections and signal-to-background ratios…
The mass of the eta_b(1S), measured recently by BABAR, is significantly lower than expected from QCD predictions for the Upsilon(1S) - eta_b(1S) hyperfine splitting. We suggest that the observed eta_b(1S) mass is shifted downwards due to a…
In this paper, we model $\Upsilon(10753)$ as a $4S$-$3D$ bottomonium mixture and $\Upsilon(10860)$ as a $5S$-$4D$ mixture, and predict the properties of a new bottomonium state, $\Upsilon(10950)$, as the mixing partner of $\Upsilon(10860)$.…
