The low lying states in $^8$Be are believed to have a two-alpha cluster structure and hence a large intrinsic quadrupole deformation. An earlier calculation showed a large collective enhancement in gamma transition probability between the…
The suppression of bottomonia in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is a smoking gun for the production of a strongly interacting final state in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, these final state interactions are…
We analyze the overlap of local color-octet meson operators with the $\Upsilon$ and the $\eta_b$ and their low-lying excited states, especially the first radial excitations. Our analysis is based on NRQCD and includes all terms up to order…
Recent CLEO results on electromagnetic and hadronic transitions in charmonium and bottomonium systems are reviewed.
Inclusive S- and P-wave charmonium productions in the bottomonium ground state $\eta_b$ decay are calculated at the leading order in the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ and quarkonium internal relative velocity $v$ in the framework of…
A sixth-order quadrupole boson Hamiltonian is used to describe the states $0^+$ and $2^+$ identified in several nuclei by various types of experiments. Two alternative descriptions of energy levels are proposed. One corresponds to a…
Both charm and bottom quarks form nonrelativistic bound states analogous to positronium. The J/psi and psi(2S) charmonium states and the first three Upsilon(nS) bottomonium states, all spin-triplet S-wave quarkonium states below…
We discuss a general theoretical framework for the study of bound states made of two heavy quarks. For states below threshold, the framework has been developed to the level of providing precision studies for several charmonium and…
We report on the most recent experimental progress on $XYZ$ charmoniumlike meson states and their possible counterparts in the $s\overline{s}$ and $b\overline{b}$ systems.
The bottomonium spectrum is far from being established. The structures of higher vector states, including the $\Upsilon(10580)$, $\Upsilon(10860)$, and $\Upsilon(11020)$ states, are still in dispute. In addition, whether the…
We present the complete next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order short-distance and bound-state QCD correction to the leptonic decay rate Gamma(Upsilon(1S)->l+l-) of the lowest-lying spin-1 bottomonium state. The perturbative QCD prediction is…
The spectra and decay rates of $c \bar c$ and $b \bar b$ levels are well described, for the most part, by a power-law potential of the form $V(r)=\lambda(r^{\alpha}-1)/\alpha+{\rm const.}$, where $\alpha\simeq 0$. The results of an…
The photoproduction of bottomonium-like states $Z_{b}(10610)$ and $Z_{b}(10650)$ via $\gamma p$ scattering is studied within an effectiv Lagrangian approach and the vector-meson-dominance model. The Regge model is employed to calculate the…
Electromagnetic transitions from deformed structures based on $\alpha$ configurations or on heavier clusters are discussed, drawing the link between multiparticle-multihole excited bands and cluster structures. Enhanced E2 and E1…
In this talk some of the theoretical aspects of $b \to s \gamma$ transitions are discussed. The focus is on inclusive decays, since these can be computed more reliably. Topics covered are (1) perturbative QCD corrections, (2)…
The two newly observed hidden-bottom mesons Zb(10610) and Zb'(10650) with quantum numbers J(P) = 1(+) are considered as hadronic molecules composed of BB(*) and B(*)B(*), respectively. We give predictions for the widths of the strong…
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…
Radiative decays of bottomonium are revisited, focusing on contributions from higher-order relativistic effects. The leading relativistic correction to the magnetic spin-flip operator at the photon vertex is found to be particularly…
The masses of bottomonium s and p-states, decay constants, leptonic as well as radiative decay widths are computed in the framework of extended harmonic confinement model without any additional parameters.
We study the electromagnetic (EM) transitions of the $nS$, $nP$ ($n\leq 3$), and $nD$ ($n\leq 2$) charmonium states with a constituent quark model. We obtain a reasonable description of the EM transitions of the well-established charmonium…
