We report on a measurement of the Upsilon(1S+2S+3S) -> e+e- cross section at midrapidity in p+p collisions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. We find the cross section to be 114 +/- 38 (stat.) +23,-24 (syst.) pb. Perturbative QCD calculations at…
We use data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR on the Upsilon(5S) resonance to measure the inclusive yield of Ds mesons. Comparing with data taken on the Upsilon(4S), which decays into lighter B mesons, we make a model dependent…
We report on measurements of the decays of $\overline{B}$ mesons into the semileptonic final states $\overline{B} \to D^{(*)} \pi^+\pi^- \ell^-\overline{\nu}$, where $D^{(*)}$ represents a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and $\ell^-$ is an electron or a…
We perform a model-independent analysis for recently reported data of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ invariant mass spectra in the $\Upsilon(4S)\to\Upsilon(1S,2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decays and point out that there does exist a broad peak below 0.6 GeV in the…
We present spectra of prompt electrons from decays of neutral and charged B mesons. The results are based on 140 /fb of data collected by the Belle detector on the Upsilon(4S) resonance at the KEKB e+e- asymmetric collider. We tag…
About 90% of Bs-bar Bs pairs produced at the Upsilon(5s) resonance are initially Bs*-bar Bs* pairs which decay radiatively to Bs-bar Bs. This implies that the Bs pair will then be in an eigenstate of charge conjugation (i.e. C=-1) and…
We report the observation of two narrow structures at 10610MeV/c^2 and 10650MeV/c^2 in the pi^{\pm}Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3) and pi^{\pm}h_b(mP) (m=1,2) mass spectra that are produced in association with a single charged pion in Upsilon(5S)…
Using precise data from the BESIII collaboration, we obtained compelling evidence of a subthreshold pole in the $e^+ e^-\rightarrow D_s^+ D_s^-$ process with mass of (3896$^{+13}_{-22}$)~MeV. The latter suggests the identification of this…
Based on 22.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data collected at 33 different center-of-mass energies between 3.7730 GeV and 4.7008 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, Born cross sections of the two processes $e^+e^-\to…
We report new measurements of the total cross sections for $e^+e^-\to \Upsilon(n{\rm S})\pi^+\pi^-$ ($n$ = 1, 2, 3) and $e^+e^-\to b\bar b$ from a high-luminosity fine scan of the region $\sqrt{s} = 10.63$-$11.05$ GeV with the Belle…
Motivated by recent theoretical predictions about the existence of a $ B \bar{B}$ bound state (also denoted as $ X(10550) $), in this work we estimate the production of the $S$-wave $ B^+ B^-$ molecule via $\Upsilon (4S)$ radiative decays.…

We introduce a new method for the determination of the ratio of production fractions $R^{\pm0}=\mathcal B(\Upsilon(4S)\to B^+B^-)/\mathcal B(\Upsilon(4S)\to B^0\bar B^0)$ based on $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar \nu$ decays. Given the importance…
