We search for B- ==> \tilde{D0}K- and B- ==> \tilde{D*0}K-, with \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}pi0 or \tilde{D*0} ==> \tilde{D0}gamma, and \tilde{D0} ==> K+pi- (and charge conjugates). These final states can be reached through the b==>c…
$d^\ast(2380)$ was observed by WASA-at-COSY collaborations in the nuclear reaction recently. Its particularly narrow width may indicate the new QCD-allowed hadronic structure. To further confirm the existence of this peculiar particle in a…
We search for the decays B- -> phi K- gamma and B0bar -> phi K0bar gamma in a data sample of 228 million BBbar pairs collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BaBar detector. We measure the branching fraction B(B- -> phi K- gamma) =…

We study the $\Upsilon(1S)$ meson photoproduction on protons and nuclei at the near-threshold center-of-mass energies below 11.4 GeV (or at the corresponding photon laboratory energies $E_{\gamma}$ below 68.8 GeV). We calculate the absolute…
The proton-nucleon cross section ratio $R=Br(\Upsilon\to l^+l^-) d\sigma(\Upsilon)/dy|_{y=0} / {\sigma(J/\psi)}$ has been measured with the HERA-B spectrometer in fixed-target proton-nucleus collisions at 920 GeV proton beam energy…
We report the first observation of the transition Upsilon(2S) > eta Upsilon(1S), with branching fraction B=(2.1+0.7-0.6(stat.)+-0.3(syst.)) x 10^{-4} and statistical significance 5.3 sigma. Data were acquired with the CLEO detector at the…
In the present work, we investigate the production mechanism of the $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ states from the $\Upsilon(5S,6S)$ decays. Two types of bottom-meson loops are discussed. We show that the loop contributions with all…
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…
Decay $\Upsilon(1s)\to\gamma f_2(1270)$ is studied by an approach in which the tensor meson, $f_2(1270)$, is strongly coupled to gluons. Besides the strong suppression of the amplitude $\Upsilon(1s)\to\gamma gg, gg\to f_2$ by the mass of…
We search for the rare decay $B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}\nu\bar{\nu}$ in a $362\ \rm{fb}^{-1}$ sample of electron-positron collisions at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance collected with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We use the…
From a sample of 232 million Upsilon(4S)--> B B-bar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B Factory in 1999--2004, we measure the B- --> D0 K*-(892) decay branching fraction using events where the K*- is reconstructed in…
The dielectron widths of $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,...,7)$ and vector decay constants are calculated using the Relativistic String Hamiltonian with a universal interaction. For $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3)$ the dielectron widths and their ratios are…

We study inclusive di-pion decays using a sample of 108 x 10^6 Upsilon(3S) events recorded with the BABAR detector. We search for the decay mode Upsilon(3S) --> pi+ pi- h_b(1P) and find no evidence for the bottomonium spin-singlet state…
