We discuss the possible production and discovery channels in $e^+e^-$ and $pp$ machines of the $X_b$, the bottomonium counterpart of $X(3872)$ and the putative isoscalar analogue of the charged bottomonium-like states $Z_b$ discovered by…
We review selected recent Belle results in quarkonium physics, that include precision measurement of the eta_b(1S) parameters, evidence for the eta_b(2S); evidence for the psi_2(1D); observation of the psi(4040) and psi(4160) transitions to…
We discuss decays and productions for the possible molecular states formed by bottom mesons B (B*) and anti-B (anti-B*). The twin resonances found by Belle, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), are such candidates. The spin wave functions of the…

We report measurements of the exclusive cross section for e+e- --> D0D*-pi+ as function of center-of-mass energy from the D0D*-pi+ threshold to 5.2 GeV with initial-state radiation. No evidence is found for Y(4260)-->D0D*-pi+ decays. The…
We report a study of the suppressed decays $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D K^-$ and $B^- \to [K^+\pi^-]_D \pi^-$, where $[K^+\pi^-]_D$ indicates that the $K^+\pi^-$ pair originates from a neutral $D$ meson. These decay modes are sensitive to the…
