In this work, a comprehensive analysis of the mass spectra and decay properties of bottomonium states using a relativistic screened potential model is carried out. The mass spectrum, decay constants, $E1$ transitions, $M1$ transitions, and…
We discuss a general theoretical framework for the study of bound states made of two heavy quarks. For states below threshold, the framework has been developed to the level of providing precision studies for several charmonium and…
We report on a recent computation of the transitions of exotic bottomonium to standard bottomonium and light quark hadrons. We work under the assumption that the $\Upsilon(10753)$ and $\Upsilon(11020)$ can be described as the lowest laying…
A non-standard CP-odd Higgs boson could induce a slight (but observable) lepton universality breaking in Upsilon leptonic decays. Moreover, mixing between such a pseudoscalar Higgs boson and $\eta_b$ states might shift their mass levels,…
We calculate the in-medium masses of the bottomonium states ($\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(2S)$, $\Upsilon(3S)$ and $\Upsilon(4S)$) in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter at finite temperatures. The medium modifications of the masses…
The suppression of bottomonia in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is a smoking gun for the production of a strongly interacting final state in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Furthermore, these final state interactions are…
We use 111+/-1 million Upsilon(3S) and 89+/-1 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory at SLAC to perform a study of radiative transitions between bottomonium states using photons that have been…
We analyze the overlap of color-octet meson operators with the $\Upsilon$ and the $\eta_b$ and their excited states, especially the first radial excitations. Our analysis is based on NRQCD and includes all terms up to order $v^4$. We use a…
Recent studies indicate that the ground state of a QCD four bottom quark system may form a resonance in the range $\sim 18 -19$ GeV, near the di-$\Upsilon$ threshold, which may be observable at the LHC in the four lepton final state. These…
In the bottomonium sector, the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transitions between P-wave states $h_b(2P) \rightarrow \chi_{bJ}(1P) \gamma$, $J=0, \, 1, \, 2$, are expected to be severely suppressed according to the Relativized Quark Model,…
A pair of new colored particles produced near the threshold can form a bound state and then annihilate into standard model particles. In this paper we show how the bound state signals can distinguish between two scenarios that have similar…
Topologically nontrivial states are common in symmetry broken phases at macroscopic scales. Low dimensional systems bring them to a microscopic level where solitons emerge as single particles. The earliest and latest applications are…
Within the framework of dispersion theory, we analyze the dipion transitions between the lightest $\Upsilon$ states, $\Upsilon(nS) \rightarrow \Upsilon(mS) \pi\pi$ with $m < n \leq 3$. In particular, we consider the possible effects of two…
Using the local hidden gauge approach, we study the possibility of the existence of bottomed strange molecular states with isospin 0. We find three bound states with spin-parity $0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$ generated by the $\bar{K}^*B^*$ and…
The dipion transitions $\Upsilon(2S,3S,4S) \to \Upsilon(1S,2S)\pi\pi$ are systematically studied by considering the mechanisms of the hadronization of soft gluons, exchanging the bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states, and the bottom-meson loops. The…
Using a sample of 158 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ events collected with the Belle detector, we search for the first time for double charmonium decays of the $P$-wave spin-triplet bottomonium states ($\Upsilon(2S) \to \gamma \chi_{bJ}$,…
We consider hadronic transitions from the $h_b(2P)$ bottomonium resonance to lower states of bottomonium with emission of either $\omega$ meson, or two pions, or $\eta$ meson. For the former two transitions the branching ratios are related…
Both charm and bottom quarks form nonrelativistic bound states analogous to positronium. The J/psi and psi(2S) charmonium states and the first three Upsilon(nS) bottomonium states, all spin-triplet S-wave quarkonium states below…
The in-medium masses of the bottomonium ground states [$1S$ ($\Upsilon (1S), \eta_b$) and $1P$ ($\chi_{b0},\chi_{b1}$)] are investigated in the magnetized vacuum (nuclear medium), using the QCD sum rule framework. In QCD sum rule approach,…
Recent data from the CDF collaboration on the production of spin-triplet bottomonium states at the Tevatron p \bar p collider are analyzed within the NRQCD factorization formalism. The color-singlet matrix elements are determined from…
