The rates for magnetic dipole (M1) transitions $\Upsilon(nS) \to \eta_b(n'S) + \gamma$, $n' \le n$, are compared. The photon energies for allowed ($n' = n$) M1 transitions are very small, so hindered ($n' < n$) transitions could be more…
The exclusive photoproduction of $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S) and $\Upsilon$(3S) mesons is studied in their leptonic ($\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$) decay modes, in ultraperipheral pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV. The data was recorded by…
The measurement of $\Upsilon$(1S), $\Upsilon$(2S), and $\Upsilon$(3S) yields as a function of the charged-particle multiplicity density, $\textrm{d}N_{\textrm{ch}}/\textrm{d}\eta$, using the ALICE experiment at the LHC, is reported in pp…
Several experiments suggest the existence of narrow excited states in the nucleon below the \pi N threshold. Taking all information together a series of states emerges at masses of 940, 966, 985, 1003, m_4, 1044, m_6, 1094 MeV above the…
We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance collected with the CLEO-II detector operating at CESR. We present the first observation of the radiative decays Upsilon(1S)->gamma pi+pi- and Upsilon(1S)->gamma…
We perform a theoretical study of the decay process $\Upsilon \to D^{-} \bar{B}^{0} D_s^{+}$ in search of the doubly heavy tetraquark states $T_{bc\bar{s}}$ with quark content $bc\bar{s}\bar{d}$. These $T_{bc\bar{s}}$ states are assumed to…
We report a new measurement of the $e^+e^-\to\Upsilon(nS)\pi^+\pi^-$ ($n=1,2,3$) cross sections at energies from 10.52 to 11.02 GeV using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We observe a…
We consider the properties of the ground state of bottomium. The $\Upsilon$ mass is evaluated to two loops, and including leading higher order [$O(\alpha_s^5\log\alpha_s)$] and $m_c^2/m_b^2$ corrections. This allows us to present updated…
We investigate the spectroscopy and decays of the charmonium and upsilon systems in a potential model consisting of a relativistic kinetic energy term, a linear confining term including its scalar and vector relativistic corrections and the…
We present evidence, from published BABAR data, for the existence of further excitations in the b-bbar spectrum, namely the long-awaited Upsilon(1D) and Upsilon(2D) with central masses of 10098 pm 5 MeV and 10492 pm 5 MeV, respectively. The…
With the potential prospects of the ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ at high-luminosity dedicated heavy-flavor factories, the color-favored ${\Upsilon}(nS)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}{\pi}$, $B_{c}K$ weak decays are studied with the pQCD approach. It is found that…
Inspired by the latest experimental progress, we systematically study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decay properties of $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$- and $2P$-wave $\Lambda_c$ baryons within the $j $-$j$ coupling scheme in the framework of the…
We give an overview of the present status of knowledge of the production of J/psi, psi' and Upsilon in high-energy hadron collisions. We first present two early models, namely the Colour-Singlet Model (CSM) and the Colour-Evaporation Model…
We investigate the radiative decay $\Upsilon(10753) \to \gamma X_{b0}$ within the framework of nonrelativistic effective field theory (NREFT). The $\Upsilon(10753)$ is treated as an $S$-$D$ mixed state of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\YD$, while…
We study the $\Upsilon(1S)$ radiative decays to $\gamma \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\gamma K^+ K^-$ using data recorded with the BaBar detector operating at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy $e^+ e^-$ collider at center-of-mass energies at the…
We suggest that the combined effect of screening, gluon-induced dissociation, collisional damping, and reduced feed-down explains most of the sequential suppression of Y(nS) states that has been observed in PbPb relative to pp collisions at…
It is shown that the ratio of the production rates of the pairs (B+ B-) and (B0 anti-B0) should experience a substantial and rapid variation with energy within the width of the Upsilon(4S) resonance, crossing the value of one near the…
We report a high statistics measurement of Upsilon production with an 800 GeV/c proton beam on hydrogen and deuterium targets. The dominance of the gluon-gluon fusion process for Upsilon production at this energy implies that the cross…
We compute the QGP suppression of Upsilon(1s), Upsilon(2s), Upsilon(3s), chi_b1, and chi_b2 states in sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. Using the suppression of each of these states, we estimate the inclusive R_AA for the Upsilon(1s)…
