Using a sample of $771.6 \times 10^{6}$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we observe for the first time the transition $\Upsilon(4S) \to \eta h_b(1P)$ with the branching fraction ${\cal…
The Principle of Maximal Conformality (PMC) provides a systematic way to set the renormalization scales order-by-order for any perturbative QCD process. The resulting predictions are independent of the choice of renormalization scheme, a…
The CMS collaboration has reported a measurement of $\Upsilon$ decays to ditaus using $61.9~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of scouting data. If interpreted as the decay of $\Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$, the measured ditau rate is more than ten times that seen in…
Using 420 pb^-1 of data collected on the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the CLEO III detector, we reconstruct B mesons in 25 exclusive decay channels to measure or set upper limits on the decay rate of Upsilon(5S) into B meson final states. We…
We calculate the predicted width for the radiative decay of a $1^{++}$ heavy meson via the channel $1^{++} \to 1^{--} +\gamma$ in the covariant light-front quark model. Specifically, we compute the decay widths for $\chi_{c1}(1P) \to J/\psi…
We determine $|V_{cb}|$ using the third-order perturbative series for the inclusive semileptonic $B$ decay width and for the masses of the bottomonium 1S states. We use the masses of $\eta_b(1S)$ and $\Upsilon(1S)$ as short-distance masses…
With the potential prospects of the ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ data samples at the running LHC and upcoming SuperKEKB, the ${\Upsilon}(1S)$ ${\to}$ $B_{c}{\rho}$ weak decays are studied with the pQCD approach. It is found that (1) the lion's share of…
We have performed a search for the eta_b(1S) meson in the radiative decay of the Upsilon(2S) resonance using a sample of 91.6 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory at the SLAC National…
Employing the heavy quark pole mass and static potential that were obtained from resummation of the renormalon-caused large order behavior to all orders, and matching the resummed static potential to the long distance Cornell potential we…
We calculate the J/{\psi} mass, leptonic width and radiative decay rate to \gamma \eta_c from lattice QCD including u, d and s quarks in the sea for the first time. We use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism and nonperturbatively…
We present a search for the radiative leptonic decays B+ -> e+ nu gamma and B+ -> mu+ nu gamma using data collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory. We fully reconstruct the hadronic decay of one of the B mesons in Upsilon(4S)…
We examine the decay of $Z_1$ in electrons with recent data from LEP. The partial width $\Gamma(Z_1\to e^-e^+)$ is studied in the framework of a left-right symmetric model with standard electroweak corrections. Processes measured near the…
We estimate the decay rates of $\eta_c\rightarrow 2\gamma$, $\eta_c'\rightarrow 2\gamma$, and $J/\psi\rightarrow e^+ e^-$, $\psi^\prime\rightarrow e^+e^-$, by taking into account both relativistic and QCD radiative corrections. The decay…
We present a search for the charged lepton-flavor-violating decays $\Upsilon(1S)\rightarrow\ell\ell^\prime$ and radiative charged lepton-flavour-violating decays $\Upsilon(1S)\rightarrow\gamma\ell\ell^\prime$ [$\ell,\ell^\prime = e, \mu,…
Lepton flavor universality can be tested through the ratio of semileptonic $B$ meson decays and leptonic $\Upsilon$ meson decays, with $\Upsilon \equiv \Upsilon(nS)$ ($n=1,2,3$). For the charged-current transitions $b \to…
The decay widths of $\Upsilon(nS)$ $\rightarrow$ $\bar{d}^{\ast}(2380)+X$ with $n=1,2,3$ are studied in a phenomenological way. With the help of crossing symmetry, the decay widths are obtained by investigating the imaginary part of the…
Using the CLEO III detector we report on a new study of exclusive radiative Upsilon(1S) decays into the final states gamma pi^+ pi^-, gamma K^+ K^- and gamma p anti-p. We present branching ratios for the decay modes Upsilon(1S) to gamma…

Monte Carlo simulations alone could not clarify the corrections to scaling for the size-dependent p_c(L) above the upper critical dimension. Including the previous series estimate for the bulk threshold $p_c(\infty)$ gives preference for…
