Heavy quark symmetry can help us identify the internal structure of hadrons and predict new particles. In this study, we examine the strong decay modes of the observed $\Lambda_b^0(6146)$ and $\Lambda_b^0(6152)$, assuming these two states…

We investigate the radiative decay $\Upsilon(10753) \to \gamma X_{b0}$ within the framework of nonrelativistic effective field theory (NREFT). The $\Upsilon(10753)$ is treated as an $S$-$D$ mixed state of the $\Upsilon(4S)$ and $\YD$, while…

Bottomonium-like resonances Zb(10610) and Zb'(10650) are good candidates of hadronic molecules composed of BBbar* (or B*Bbar) and B*Bbar*, respectively. Considering Zb (Zb') as heavy meson molecules, we investigate the decays of Zb(')^+ ->…

We have evaluated the decay modes of the $\Upsilon(4s), \Upsilon(3d), \Upsilon(5s), \Upsilon(6s)$ states into $B\bar B, B\bar B^*+c.c., B^* \bar B^*, B_s \bar B_s, B_s \bar B^*_s +c.c., B^*_s \bar B_s^* $ using the $^3P_0$ model to…

The decays of the $Z_b(10610)$ and the $Z_b(10650)$ to $\Upsilon(nS)\pi$, $h_b(mP)\pi$ and $\chi_{bJ}(mP)\gamma$ ($n=1,2,3$, $m=1,2$ and $J=0,1,2$) are investigated within a nonrelativistic effective field theory. It is argued that, while…

The $\Upsilon(10753)$ state has been recently observed by the Belle and Belle~II collaborations with enough global significance to motivate an assessment of the high-energy spectrum usually predicted by any reasonable \emph{na\"ive} quark…

At least one state in the first family of D-wave $b \bar b$ quarkonium levels has been discovered near the predicted mass of 10.16 GeV/$c^2$. This state is probably the one with J=2. This state and the ones with J=1 and J=3 may contribute a…

Heavy quark spin symmetry is useful to make predictions on ratios of decay or production rates of systems involving heavy quarks. The breaking of spin symmetry is generally of the order of $O({\Lambda_{\rm QCD}/m_Q})$, with $\Lambda_{\rm…

The Belle collaboration recently discovered two resonances, $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ --- denoted $Z_b$ and $Z_b^\prime$ --- in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to \Upsilon(nS) \pi^+ \pi^-$ for $n$ = 1, 2, or 3, and $\Upsilon(5S) \to h_b(mP)…

We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium $b\bar b$ and charmonium $c\bar c$ states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model…

Recent data from Belle show unusually large partial widths Upsilon(5S) --> Upsilon(1S) pi^+pi^- and \Upsilon(5S) --> \Upsilon(2S) pi^+ pi^-. The Z(4430) narrow resonance also reported by Belle in psi' pi^+ spectrum has the properties…

The dipion transitions $\Upsilon(10860)\to\pi^+\pi^-\Upsilon(nS)$ ($n=1,2,3$) are studied in the framework of a unitary and analytic coupled-channel formalism previously developed for analysing experimental data on the bottomoniumlike…

We report new measurements of the total cross sections for $e^+e^-\to \Upsilon(n{\rm S})\pi^+\pi^-$ ($n$ = 1, 2, 3) and $e^+e^-\to b\bar b$ from a high-luminosity fine scan of the region $\sqrt{s} = 10.63$-$11.05$ GeV with the Belle…

Under the Initial Single Pion Emission mechanism, we study the hidden-bottom dipion decays of $\Upsilon(11020)$, i.e., $\Upsilon(11020)\to \Upsilon(nS)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2,3)$ and $\Upsilon(11020)\to h_b(mP)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(m=1,2)$. We predict…

Motivated by the two charged bottomonium-like resonances $Z_b$(10610) and $Z_b$(10650) newly observed by the Belle collaboration, the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons, $B\bar{B}, B\bar{B}^*, B^*\bar{B}^*,…

The mixing of $S-D$ partial waves for the heavy meson pairs in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to [B^* \bar B+ {\rm c.c.}] \pi$ and $\Upsilon(5S) \to B^* \bar B^* \pi$ is considered. It is argued that this mixing, enhanced by the heavy meson…

The $D_s(2320)$ state recently observed by BaBar in the $D_s^+\pi^0$ channel may be the first of a host of $cq\bar q\bar q$ four-quark states. We give a phenomenological account of the masses and decay modes. The isosinglet $D_s(2320)$…

We examine the electronic width ratios of Upsilon resonances below the BBbar threshold by means of an effective (Cornell-type) QCD potential incorporating 1/m_b corrections obtained from a prior fit to the bottomonium spectrum. From our…

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…
