The first observation of the decays $B^0_{(s)} \to J/\psi p \overline{p}$ is reported, using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $5.2{\text{\,fb}}^{-1}$, collected with the \mbox{LHCb}\xspace detector.…

We study the $\Upsilon(1S)$ radiative decays to $\gamma \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\gamma K^+ K^-$ using data recorded with the BaBar detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider at center-of-mass energies at the…

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…

The hadronic decay $\eta_c(2S) \to 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ is observed with a statistical significance of 9.3 standard deviations using $(448.1\pm2.9)\times10^6$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider. The…

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 observe the process $\Upsilon(2S)\to D_s^{(*)+} D_{sJ}^{-}$ and continuum production $e^+e^- \to D_s^{(*)+} D_{sJ}^- $ at $\sqrt{s} = 10.52$ GeV (and their charge conjugates) using the data samples collected by the Belle detector at…

In this paper we consider the suppression of bottomonium states in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. We compute the suppression as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum for the states Upsilon(1s), Upsilon(2s),…

The $\Upsilon(1S)\mu^+\mu^-$ invariant-mass distribution is investigated for a possible exotic meson state composed of two $b$ quarks and two $\overline{b}$ quarks, $X_{b\overline{b}b\overline{b}}$. The analysis is based on a data sample of…

We report a measurement of the branching fractions for Bbar -> D(*)(pi)l-nubar decays based on 341.1 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the babar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Events are tagged by fully…

We report on recent $BABAR$ analyses of the baryonic $B$ decays $\bar{B}^{0}\to\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, $B^{-}\to\Sigma_{\rm c}^{++}\bar{p}\pi^{-}\pi^{-}$, $\bar{B}^{0}\to\Lambda_{\rm c}^{+}\bar{p}p\bar{p}$ and…

We present a study of the decays $B^{0,+}\to J/\psi\omega K^{0,+}$ using $383\times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ events obtained with the \babar detector at PEP-II. We observe $Y(3940) \to J/\psi \omega$, with mass $3914.6 ^{+3.8}_{-3.4} (stat)…

In this paper we present two searches for new physics in Upsilon(3S) decays collected by the BABAR detector. We search for charged lepton-flavour violating decays of the Upsilon(3S), which are unobservable in the Standard Model but are…

We have studied two-photon transitions from Upsilon(3S) decays recorded by the CLEO-III detector in exclusive events with two photons and either two electrons or two muons. We obtain precision measurements of the chi_b(2P_J) masses for J=2…

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…

The masses of open bottom mesons ($B$($B^+$,$B^0$), $\bar{B}$($B^-$,$\bar{B^0}$), $B_s$(${B_{s}}^0$, $\bar{{B_s}^0}$)) and upsilon states ($\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, $\Upsilon(3S)$, $\Upsilon(4S)$, and $\Upsilon(1D)$) are investigated…

The Belle-II experiment is expected to collect large data samples at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonances to study primarily $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We discuss what other data above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold are of interest. We…

Dipion transitions of the subthreshold bottomonium levels $\Upsilon (nS)\to \Upsilon (n'S) \pi\pi$ with $n>n', n=2,3,4, n'=1,2$ are studied in the framework of the chiral decay Lagrangian, derived earlier. The channels $B\bar B, B\bar B^*+…

Using a sample of $771.6 \times 10^{6}$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we observe for the first time the transition $\Upsilon(4S) \to \eta h_b(1P)$ with the branching fraction ${\cal…
