We study the Upsilon(3S,2S)->eta Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(3S,2S)->pi+pi- Upsilon(1S) transitions with 122 million Upsilon(3S) and 100 million Upsilon(2S) mesons collected by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- collider.…
A study of transitions between $\Upsilon$ states with the emission of charged pions using 398 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy $e^+e^-$ collider is presented. A clear peak from the decay…
We present a preliminary measurement of the branching fraction of the B meson decay B0--> a1(1260)+ pi- with a1(1260)+ --> pi+ pi+ pi- . The data were recorded with the BaBar detector at the SLAC B factory PEP-II and correspond to 124…
The $\Upsilon(10753)$ state has been recently observed by the Belle and Belle~II collaborations with enough global significance to motivate an assessment of the high-energy spectrum usually predicted by any reasonable \emph{na\"ive} quark…
Based on data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR, we started a series of investigations to open the mysteries of the $\Upsilon$(5S) resonance decay properties. $B_s$ mesons are expected to decay predominantly into $D_s$ meson, while…

With anticipation of abundant Upsilons data sample at high-luminosity heavy-flavor experiments in the future, we studied nonleptonic two-body weak decays of ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ below the open-bottom threshold with $n$ $=$ $1$, $2$ and $3$. It…
We report on the first search for electron-muon lepton flavor violation (LFV) in the decay of a $b$~quark and $b$~antiquark bound state. We look for the LFV decay $\Upsilon (3S)\rightarrow e^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}$ in a sample of 118~million…
The study of mesons and baryons which contain at least one charm quark is referred to as open charm physics. It offers the possibility to study up-type quark transitions. Since the $c$ quark can not be treated in any mass limit, theoretical…
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…
We report on recent results in spectroscopy from BaBar. This includes the discovery of a new $\Lambda_c$ baryon, detailed studies of the $D^*_{sJ}(2317)^+$, $D_{sJ}(2460)^+$, X(3872) and Y(4260) particles and the first measurement of…
We measure the production cross sections for $e^+e^- \to \Upsilon(1S)\pi^+\pi^-$, $\Upsilon(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$, and $\Upsilon(3S)\pi^+\pi^-$ as a function of $\sqrt{s}$ between 10.83 GeV and 11.02 GeV. The data consists of 8.1 fb$^{-1}$…
The calculation of the partial width of the rare t-quark decay into Upsilon-meson, W-boson and b-quark (t -> \Upsilon W b) is presented. The branching ratio equals Br(t -> Upsilon W b) = 1.3 * 10^{-5} that make possible searches for this…

We study the spectroscopy and dominant decays of the bottomonium-like tetraquarks (bound diquarks-antidiquarks), focusing on the lowest lying P-wave $[bq][\bar{b}\bar{q}]$ states $Y_{[bq]}$ (with $q=u,d$), having $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. To search…
