This paper proposes a novel mechanism based on the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter (Salpeter) equation for investigating wave function mixing in vector mesons such as $\psi(3770)$. Conventional theories typically treat $\psi(3770)$ as a…
In this work, we have calculated the mass spectra and decay properties of dimesonic states in the variational scheme. The inter-mesonic interaction considered as the Hellmann potential and One Pion Exchange potential. The mass spectra of…
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…
We predict the existence of two novel bottomoniumlike states, $Y(10600)$ and $Y(10650)$, as either the $P$-wave $B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ bound state or resonance close to the $B\bar{B}^{*}$ and $B^{*}\bar{B}^{*}$ thresholds, respectively,…
In this work we study the radiative decay widths of vector quarkonia for the process of $J/\psi(nS)\rightarrow\eta_{c}(nS)\gamma$ and $\Upsilon(nS)\rightarrow\eta_{b}(nS)\gamma$ (for principal quantum numbers $n=1, 2, 3$) in the framework…
A generalized screened potential model (GSPM), recently developed to study the bottomonium spectrum, is applied to the calculation of charmonium masses and electromagnetic widths. The presence in the GSPM of more quark-antiquark bound…
The suppression of heavy quarkonia e.g. $J/\psi$, $\Upsilon$ etc. is considered as a suitable probe to identify the nature of the matter created in heavy ion collisions. Recently we have presented a modified colour screening model 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…
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…
The strength of the amplitudes for the coupling between the bottomonium $\Upsilon(nS)$ states, the bottomonium-like isovector resonances $Z_b$ and a pion, $\Upsilon(nS) Z_b \pi$, is considered. These amplitudes describe the decays $Z_b \to…
We search for single-photon decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance, Upsilon->gamma+invisible, where the invisible state is either a particle of definite mass, such as a light Higgs boson A0, or a pair of dark matter particles, chi chi-bar.…
We present a measurement of the polarization observed for bottomonium states produced in p-Cu collisions at sqrt(s)=38.8 GeV. The angular distribution of the decay dimuons of the Upsilon(1S) state show no polarization at small xF and pT but…
We calculate the full spectrum of D-wave states in the Upsilon system in lattice QCD for the first time, using an improved version of NonRelativistic QCD on coarse and fine "second generation" gluon field configurations from the MILC…
Motivated by recent theoretical predictions about the existence of a $ B \bar{B}$ bound state (also denoted as $ X(10550) $), in this work we estimate the production of the $S$-wave $ B^+ B^-$ molecule via $\Upsilon (4S)$ radiative decays.…
The BESIII Collaboration has recently reported a new resonance structure in the cross-section analyses of the $e^+e^- \to \rho\pi$ and $e^+e^- \to \rho(1450)\pi$ processes, displaying characteristics akin to an $\omega$-meson. However, its…
Mass spectra of the dimesonic (meson-antimeson) molecular states are computed using the Hellmann potential in variational approach, which consists of relativistic correction to kinetic energy term as well as to the potential energy term.…
The CLEO Collaboration has made the first observations of hadronic transitions among bottomonium (b-bbar) states other than the dipion transitions among upsns states. In our study of Y(3S) decays, we find a significant signal for Y(3S) ->…
We studied the radiative transitions between the $\Upsilon(10753)$, the $S$-$D$ mixed state of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\Upsilon_1(3\,{}^3D_1)$, and the $X_b$, the heavy quark flavor symmetry counterpart of the $X(3782)$ in the bottomonium…
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…
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…
