We propose an unique mechanism called {\it Initial Single Pion Emission} existing in the $\Upsilon(5S)$ decays, and further study the line shapes of $d\Gamma(\Upsilon(5S\to \Upsilon(nS)\pi^+\pi^-))/dm_{\Upsilon(nS)\pi^+}$ ($n=1,2,3$) and…
The Belle and Belle II experiments have collected an 1.6 ab$^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collision data at center-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(nS)$ resonances. In particular, the Belle II experiment collected a 19.2 fb$^{-1}$ sample of…
We have searched for the di-pion transition chi_b(2P) -> pi pi chi_b(1P) in the CLEO III sample of Upsilon(3S) decays in the exclusive decay chain: Upsilon(3S) -> gamma chi_b(2P), chi_b(2P) -> pi pi chi_b(1P), chi_b(1P) -> gamma…

The three lowest-lying $\Upsilon$ states, i.e. $\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, and $\Upsilon(3S)$, composed of $b\bar b$ pairs and below the $B\bar B$ threshold, provide a good platform for the researches of hadronic physics and physics…
