The data for 9.3 million Upsilon(2S) and 20.9 million Upsilon(1S) taken with the CLEO III detector has been used to study the radiative population of states identified by their decay into twenty six different exclusive hadronic final…
Using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.3 fb^-1, we observe a narrow mass state decaying into Upsilon(1S)+gamma, where the Upsilon(1S) meson is detected by its decay into a pair of oppositely charged muons, and the photon…
Using 226 million $B\bar{B}$ events recorded on the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC $e^+e^-$ storage rings PEPII, we reconstruct $B^-\to D^{*0} e^-\bar\nu_e$ decays using the decay chain $D^{*0}\to{}D^0{}\pi^0$…

The dipion transitions $\Upsilon(2S,3S,4S) \to \Upsilon(1S,2S)\pi\pi$ are systematically studied by considering the mechanisms of the hadronization of soft gluons, exchanging the bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states, and the bottom-meson loops. The…

We consider hadronic transitions from the $h_b(2P)$ bottomonium resonance to lower states of bottomonium with emission of either $\omega$ meson, or two pions, or $\eta$ meson. For the former two transitions the branching ratios are related…
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^*+…
