We present a search for the rare leptonic decays $B^+ \to e^+ \nu_e$ and $B^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_\mu$, using the full $\Upsilon(4S)$ data sample of $772\times 10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the Belle detector at the $\small\textbf{KEKB}$…
The possibility to observe new bottomonium states with $J^{PC}= 1^{--}$ in the region $10.7-11.1$ GeV is discussed. The analysis of the di-electron widths shows that the $(n+1)^3S_1$ and $n^3D_1$ states ($n\geq 3$) may be mixed with a…

We have investigated the $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\pi^0$ decay process using the chiral unitary approach, by considering that the nucleon resonance $N(1535)$ could be dynamically generated through $S$-wave pseudoscalar meson-octet baryon…

The results of a search for the bottomonium counterpart, denoted as Xb, of the exotic charmonium state X(3872) is presented. The analysis is based on a sample of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC,…
We search for invisible decays of the Upsilon(1S) meson using a sample of 91.4 x 10^{6} Upsilon(3S) mesons collected at the BaBar/PEP-II B-factory. We select events containing the decay Upsilon(3S) -> pi+ pi- Upsilon(1S) and search for…
Bottomonium production in heavy ion collisions is modified compared with any simple extrapolation from elementary collisions. This modification is most likely caused by the presence of a deconfined system of quarks and gluons for times of…
In this work, we study the exclusive decay of $\Upsilon$ into $J/\psi$ in association with $\eta_c$ ($\chi_{c0,1,2}$). The decay widths for different helicity configurations are evaluated up to QCD next-to-leading order within the…
We discuss the recently presented Belle results on the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to \pi \pi \pi \chi_{bJ}(1P)$. The data indicate that in addition to the $\omega$ emission, $\Upsilon(5S) \to \omega \chi_{bJ}$, there is a significant non…
In the present work, we investigate the dipion transitions between $\Upsilon(5S)$ and $\Upsilon_J(1D)$ with $J=1, 2, 3$. Our analysis indicates that the dominant sources of the anomalously large widths of $\Upsilon(5S)\to \Upsilon_J(1D)…
Motivated by concerns regarding possible two-body contributions to the recently-measured inclusive Upsilon(nS)->gamma+X (n=1, 2, 3) direct photon spectra, we report on a new study of exclusive radiative decays of these narrow Upsilon(nS)…
The Belle experiment at KEK accumulated a $121.4~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ sample of $e^+e^-$ collisions at the $\Upsilon(5S)$ resonance. This sample provides ample opportunity for improving the understanding of both the properties of $B_s$ mesons and…
Associated production of prompt $\Upsilon(1S)$ and $D^{+,0}$ mesons has been proposed as a golden channel for the search of Double Parton Scattering, because Single Parton Scattering contribution to the cross-section is believed to be…

The scale of low energy c-cbar and b-bbar cross sections on light hadrons is of great importance to searches for the quark gluon plasma using the heavy-quarkonium suppression signature. Unfortunately, little is known about these…
The bottomonium spectrum is systematically studied within an unquenched quark model. Based on a good description of both the masses and widths for the well-established states, we further give predictions for the higher $S$-, $P$-, and…
