We report results based on a 1.86 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected on the $\Upsilon$(5S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+ e^-$ collider. The inclusive production of $D_s$, $D^0$ and $J/\psi$ mesons at the…
Using the Belle detector operating at the KEKB e+e- storage ring, we have measured the mean multiplicity and the momentum spectrum of neutral pions from the decays of the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We measure a mean of 4.70 +/- 0.04 +/- 0.22…
We report the first evidence for the $h_{b}(\text{2P}) \to \Upsilon(\text{1S})\eta$ transition with a significance of $3.5$ standard deviations. The decay branching fraction is measured to be $\mathcal{B}[h_{b}(\text{2P}) \to…
Methods are proposed for measuring the ratio $R^{+/0} = \Gamma(\Upsilon(4S) \to B^+ B^-)/$ $\Gamma(\Upsilon(4S) \to \bo \ob)$ without assuming isospin invariance in exclusive hadronic decays such as $B \to J/\psi K$. The validity of isospin…
We present recent results on exclusive Bbar -> Xc l- nubar_l decays and measurements of the CKM matrix element |Vcb| based on data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the babar detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings.
We give an estimate of the $C$-even $B^0 \bar{B^0}$ background coming from the radiative decay $\Upsilon(4S)\to B^0\bar B^0\gamma$ at $B$-factories. Our result $B(\Upsilon(4S)\to B^0\bar B^0\gamma) \simeq 3 \times 10^{-9}$ shows that such…
We have searched for the rare decay B+ --> Ds+ pi0. The analysis is based on a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S) --> B anti-B decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+ e- storage ring. We find 19.6 signal events,…
The observation of the $\Upsilon(10753)$ state by Belle II Collaboration has sparked significant interest in the theoretical understanding of such states within the context of hadron physics. Considering the similar mass and the decay with,…
We report the first observation of the decay \bar{B0} -> D_s^+ Lambda \bar{p} with a statistical significance of 6.6 sigma. We measure Br(\bar{B0} -> Ds+ Lambda \bar{p}) = (2.9 \pm 0.7\pm 0.5 \pm 0.4)* 10^{-5}, where the first error is…
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…
We explore the possibility that the existing data on like-sign dileptons at the $\Upsilon (4S)$ resonance consist of events arising from $B_{d}^0 -\bar B_{d}^0$ mixing and also from $\Delta B = - \Delta Q$ transitions. The consequences of…
We studied the radiative transitions between the $\Upsilon(10753)$, the $S$-$D$ mixed state of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon_1(3\,{}^3D_1)$, and the $X_b$, the heavy quark flavor symmetry counterpart of the $X(3782)$ in the bottomonium…
We have searched for B_{s}^{0}->hh decays, where h stands for a charged or neutral kaon, or a charged pion. These results are based on a 23.6 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector on the \Upsilon(5S) resonance at the KEKB…
We will present the most recent results on leptonic B decays $B^{\pm(0)} \to K^{* \pm (0)} \nu \bar{\nu}$ and $B^{\pm} \to \mu^{\pm} \nu$, based on the data collected by the BaBar detector at PEP-II, an asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider at the…
We discuss the possibility that production of final states with bottomonium and light mesons at the peak $\Upsilon(6S)$ in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation at approximately 11.00 GeV is in fact due to a triangular singularity at the threshold of…
Theoretical predictions for B decay rates are rewritten in terms of the Upsilon meson mass instead of the b quark mass, using a modified perturbation expansion. The theoretical consistency is shown both at low and high orders. This method…
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…
The rates for magnetic dipole (M1) transitions $\Upsilon(nS) \to \eta_b(n'S) + \gamma$, $n' \le n$, are compared. The photon energies for allowed ($n' = n$) M1 transitions are very small, so hindered ($n' < n$) transitions could be more…
