Using data collected by the CLEO detector in the Upsilon(4S) region, we report new measurements of the exclusive decays of B mesons into final states of the type Lambda_c^+ p-bar n(pi), where n=0,1,2,3. We find signals in modes with one,…
Knowledge of the Bs decay fraction of the Y(5S) resonance, fs, is important for Bs meson studies at the Y(5S) energy. Using data collected by the CLEO III detector at CESR consisting of 0.423 1/fb on the Y(5S) resonance, 6.34 1/fb on the…

The $\eta$ transitions of $\Upsilon(4S,5S)$ into $\Upsilon(1S,2S)$ are studied in the rescattering model by considering the final state interactions above the $B\bar B$ threshold. The width of the $\eta$ transition of $\Upsilon(4S)$ into…
In this paper, we model $\Upsilon(10753)$ as a $4S$-$3D$ bottomonium mixture and $\Upsilon(10860)$ as a $5S$-$4D$ mixture, and predict the properties of a new bottomonium state, $\Upsilon(10950)$, as the mixing partner of $\Upsilon(10860)$.…

In the decay of Upsilon(4S, the decay time distribution of Upsilon(4S) -> f + X, where f is a final state that B^0 or B^0bar can decay to, is the sum of the decay time distributions of B^0 -> f and B^0bar -> f. Using this general rule, we…
