The decays of the $Z_b(10610)$ and the $Z_b(10650)$ to $\Upsilon(nS)\pi$, $h_b(mP)\pi$ and $\chi_{bJ}(mP)\gamma$ ($n=1,2,3$, $m=1,2$ and $J=0,1,2$) are investigated within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. It is argued that, while…
The structure of $3/2^{-}$ and $1/2^{+}$ states in $^{11}$B is investigated with an $\alpha+\alpha+t$ orthogonality condition model (OCM) based on the Gaussian expansion method. Full levels up to the $3/2^{-}_{3}$ and $1/2^{+}_2$ states…
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 the results of a search for the bottomonium ground state eta_b(1S) in the photon energy spectrum with a sample of (109 +/- 1) million of Upsilon(3S) recorded at the Upsilon(3S) energy with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B…
A measurement of the production of vector bottomonium states, $\varUpsilon(\textrm{1S})$, $\varUpsilon(\textrm{2S})$, and $\varUpsilon(\textrm{3S})$, in Pb+Pb and $pp$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV is…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the observation of several enhancements in the invariant mass spectrum of a $J/\psi$ pair between 6.2 and 7.4 GeV. In this work, we propose the dynamical mechanism to mimic the experimental…
We present studies in bottomonium spectroscopy carried out with samples of $(98\pm1)$ million $\Upsilon(2S)$ and $(121\pm1)$ million $\Upsilon(3S)$ events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider…
Partial wave analysis is performed, with effective potentials as dynamical inputs, to scrutinize the recent LHCb data on the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum. Coupled-channel effects are incorporated in the production amplitude via final…
We measure the production cross sections for e+e- -> 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 collected with the Belle detector at…
Predicted masses of J^P=0^+ and 1^+ states of D_{sJ} and D by a potential model proposed some time ago by two of us (T.M. and T.M.), in which the Hamiltonian and wave functions are expanded in 1/m_Q with m_Q heavy quark mass respecting…
The bottom quark pole mass $M_b$ is determined using a sum rule which relates the masses and the electronic decay widths of the $\Upsilon$ mesons to large $n$ moments of the vacuum polarization function calculated from nonrelativistic…
Using samples of (5.93 +/- 0.10) x 10^6 Upsilon(3S) decays and (9.11 +/- 0.14) x 10^6 Upsilon(2S) decays collected with the CLEO detector, we report improved measurements of the branching fractions for the following five transitions:…
Recently Belle observed two charged bottomonium-like states, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), that are produced in the Upsilon(5S) -> Zb pi transitions and that decay to Upsilon(nS) pi (n=1,2,3) and h_b(mP) pi (m=1,2) channels. The masses of these…
Recently, the Belle Collaboration has updated the analysis of the cross sections for the processes $e^+ e^- \to \Upsilon(nS)\, \pi^+ \pi^-$ ($n = 1,\, 2,\, 3$) in the $e^+ e^-$ center-of-mass energy range from 10.52 to 11.02 GeV. A new…

The doubly-strange Xi baryons provide an effective way to study a puzzle called the missing-baryons problem, where both quark models and lattice gauge theory predict more baryon excited states than are seen experimentally. However, few of…

Recent preliminary evidence for a $D \bar{D}$ state $\chi(3.86)$ raises extremely interesting implications for theoretical models, particularly those currently in vogue, e.g. the flux tube model and a molecular charmonium picture. We…
