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.…

Using CLEO data, we study the production of the anti-deuteron, d-bar, in Upsilon(nS) resonance decays and the nearby continuum. The branching ratios obtained are B^dir(Upsilon(1S) --> d-bar X) = (3.36 +- 0.23 +- 0.25) x 10^-5, B(Upsilon(1S)…

We present preliminary measurements of B meson decays to omegapi+, omegaK+, and omegaK0. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector and correspond to 88.9x10^6 BBbar pairs produced in e+e- annihilation at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We…
We report the first observation of e+e- -> Upsilon(1S)pi+pi-, Upsilon(2S)pi+pi-, and first evidence for e+e- -> Upsilon(3S)pi+pi-, Upsilon(1S)K+K-, near the peak of the Upsilon(5S) resonance at sqrt{s}~10.87 GeV. The results are based on a…
Recent data from Belle show unusually large partial widths Upsilon(5S) --> Upsilon(1S) pi^+pi^- and \Upsilon(5S) --> \Upsilon(2S) pi^+ pi^-. The Z(4430) narrow resonance also reported by Belle in psi' pi^+ spectrum has the properties…
We search for hadronic decays of a light Higgs boson (A0) produced in radiative decays of an Upsilon(2S) or Upsilon(3S) meson, Upsilon --> gamma A0. The data have been recorded by the BABAR experiment at the Upsilon(3S) and Upsilon(2S)…

The bottomonium spectrum is the perfect testing ground for the confining potential and unitarisation effects. The bottom quark is about three times heavier than the charm quark, so that $b\bar{b}$ systems probe primarily the short-range…
To solve the discrepancy between the experimental data on the partial widths and lineshapes of the dipion emission of $\Upsilon(4S)$ and the theoretical predictions, we suggest that there is an additional contribution which was not taken…
Data on e+e- -> piplus-piminus-Upsilon(1S,2S,3S) show a large increase in branching fractions near Upsilon(10860). A suggestion of Ali et al. is to interpret this as evidence for a tetraquark, Yb(10890) = b-bbar. However, it may also be…

In order to explain the observed unusually large dipion transition rates of $\Upsilon(10870)$, the scalar resonance contributions in the re-scattering model to the dipion transitions of $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon(5S)$ are studied. Since…
The mixing of $S-D$ partial waves for the heavy meson pairs in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to [B^* \bar B+ {\rm c.c.}] \pi$ and $\Upsilon(5S) \to B^* \bar B^* \pi$ is considered. It is argued that this mixing, enhanced by the heavy meson…
