Using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we measure the energy dependence of the $e^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2)$ cross sections from thresholds up to $11.02\,$GeV. We find clear…
In this brief review, we examine carefully and critically the status of search for the $h_c$ [$\psi(1^1P_1)$] charmonium state and the $h_b$ [$\Upsilon(1^1P_1)$] bottonium state, initiated by the E760 experiment. Recent experimental studies…
We present a study of hadronic transitions between Y(mS) (m=4,3,2) and Y(nS) (n=2,1) resonances based on 347.5\invfb of data taken with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage rings. We report the first observation of Y(4S)-> eta Y(1S)…
We outline a coherent strategy for exploring the four remaining narrow charmonium states [$\eta_{c}^{\prime}(2\slj{1}{1}{0})$, $h_{c}(1\slj{1}{2}{1})$, $\eta_{c2}(1\slj{1}{3}{2})$, and $\psi_{2}(1\slj{3}{3}{2})$] expected to lie below charm…
The newly observed $\Sigma_b(6097)$ provides us a good chance to further construct the high excited states of the bottom baryon family. In this work, we explain the $\Sigma_b(6097)$ to be a $1P$ state with $J^P=5/2^-$ or $3/2^-$ by giving…
In this work, we investigate the $\Upsilon(10753)\to\Upsilon(1^3D_J)\eta$ ($J=1,2,3$) processes, where the $\Upsilon(10753)$ is assigned as a conventional bottomonium under the $4S$-$3D$ mixing scheme. Our result shows that the concerned…
The $\eta$ production in the $(n,n')$ bottomonium transitions $\Upsilon (n) \to \Upsilon (n') \eta, $ is studied in the method used before for dipion heavy quarkonia transitions. The widths $\Gamma_\eta(n,n')$ are calculated without fitting…
In the last years, the CLEO III experiment has recorded a large collection of data sets at the Y(1S), Y(2S), Y(3S) and psi(2S) resonances. Preliminary results of studies of these data sets are shown here, which include the observation of a…
We extract transverse momentum dependent feed-down fractions for bottomonium production using a data-driven approach. We use data published by the ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb Collaborations for sqrt(s) = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions. Based on…
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.…
In the framework of the spectral integral equation, we consider the $b\bar b$ states and their radiative transitions. We reconstruct the $b\bar b$ interaction on the basis of data for the levels of the bottomonium states with…
We investigate the modification of S and P wave states in the bottomonium spectrum above and below the deconfinement crossover temperature through their spectral functions obtained from the maximum entropy method. Anisotropic ensembles with…
We discuss decays and productions for the possible molecular states formed by bottom mesons B (B*) and anti-B (anti-B*). The twin resonances found by Belle, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), are such candidates. The spin wave functions of the…

We present a unified analysis of the decays of bottomonia Upsilon(mS) -> Upsilon(nS) pi pi (m>n, m=2,3,4,5, n=1,2,3), charmonia J/psi -> phi (pi pi, K antiK), psi(2S) -> J/psi pi pi and the isoscalar S-wave processes pi pi -> pi pi, K…
The hint of a pseudoscalar toponium state at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) opens a new avenue for studying a novel class of QCD (quasi-)bound states with comparable formation and decay times. Compared with charmonium and bottomonium,…
The in-medium masses of the bottomonium ground states [$1S$ ($\Upsilon (1S), \eta_b$) and $1P$ ($\chi_{b0},\chi_{b1}$)] are investigated in the magnetized vacuum (nuclear medium), using the QCD sum rule framework. In QCD sum rule approach,…
The mass spectrum of $b\bar{b}$ states has been obtained using the phenomenological relativistic quark model (RQM). The Hamiltonian used in the investigation has confinement potential and confined one gluon exchange potential (COGEP). In…
We give a pedagogical introduction to heavy quarkonia -- bound states of a heavy quark and its antiquark (e.g., charmonium $c\bar{c}$, bottomonium $b\bar{b}$) -- as well as to the exotic hadrons containing two heavy quarks that have been…
The bottomonium spectrum, consisting of bound states of a $b$ quark and an anti-$b$ quark, provides an excellent laboratory for probing quantum chromodynamics in the non-perturbative regime. While $S$ and $P$-wave bottomonium states are…
