Indications of the existence of quasi-bound states in the N-Nbar system are presented. Measurements by BES discovered a broad enhancement close to the p-pbar threshold in the S wave, isospin 0 state formed in radiative decays of J/psi.…
We study the energy distributions of dipion transitions $\Upsilon(5S)$ to $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)\pi^+\pi^-$ in the final state rescattering model. Since the $\Upsilon(5S)$ is well above the open bottom thresholds, the dipion transitions are…
Using the method of QCD Sum Rules we estimate the energy of lowest energy top quark meson state with a hybrid admixture. This new estimate uses the previous estimates of hybrid charmonium and upsilon states, but with the mass of the top…
We analyse electron-positron data for b-bbar production published by the BABAR Collaboration, in the invariant-mass interval delimited by the B-Bbar and Lambda(b)-Lambda(b) thresholds. In particular, we describe the Upsilon(10580)…
The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1,…
Measurements made at the LHC have shown that the production of the ${\rm J}/\psi$, $\psi$(2S), $\Upsilon$(1S) and $\Upsilon$(2S) quarkonia is suppressed in Pb-Pb collisions, with respect to the extrapolation of the pp production yields. The…
Recent BESIII data indicate a significant rate of the process $e^+e^- \to h_c \pi^+ \pi^-$ at the Y(4260) and Y(4360) resonances, implying a substantial breaking of the heavy quark spin symmetry. We consider these resonances within the…
The ATLAS Collaboration has recently announced the discovery of the 3P states of the Upsilon system, chi_b(3P), with mass of 10.539+-0.004(stat.)+-0.008(syst.) GeV. In a previous investigation of the Upsilon system, in the context of a…
A calculation is presented of the radiative decay of the Upsilon(nS) into a bound state of bottom squarks. Predictions are provided of the branching fraction as a function of the masses of the bottom squark and the gluino. Branching…
We study phenomenologically the invariant mass spectra of scalar dipion states produced in cascade decays of excited $\Upsilon$ and $\psi$, and $J/\psi$ decays into light vector meson. Dipion production amplitude is given as a product of…
I detail recent work done by the CLEO collaboration using data gathered at the CESR accelerator concerning the Upsilon system. Results include B_S production at the Upsilon(5S), decays of the Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3) to tau pairs, the Upsilon…
An analysis of the channel wave functions is made to clarify the types of resonance emerging from Ps-Ps and Ps-Ps* collisions. The ordering of the energy levels of the states of the dipositronium is evaluated based on the inherent nodal…
Using 13.3 fb^-1 of e+e- collision data taken in the Upsilon(1S-4S) region with the CLEO III detector at the CESR collider, a search has been made for the new resonance Y(4260) recently reported by the BaBar Collaboration. The production of…
We calculate the rate for $\Upsilon$ decay into a pair of bottom squarks as a function of the masses of the bottom squark and the gluino. Data from decays of the $\Upsilon$ states could provide significant new bounds on the existence and…
The B-factories have successfully exploited the unique advantages of the Upsilon(4S) resonance to study many aspects of Bd and Bu mesons. The Upsilon(10860) (aka Upsilon(5S)) resonance, which is above mass threshold for the Bs and shares…
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…
Inspired by the newly observed two charged bottomonium-like states, we consider the possible contribution from the intermediate $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ states to the $\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$ decay process, which…
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:…
