Recent BaBar Studies of Bottomonium States
We present studies in bottomonium spectroscopy carried out with samples of (98±1) million Υ(2S) and (121±1) million Υ(3S) events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy ee collider at SLAC. Precise measurements of the branching fractions for χb1,2(1P, 2P ) → γΥ(1S) and χb1,2(2P ) → γΥ(2S) transitions, and searches for radiative decay to the ηb(1S) and ηb(2S) states are ...
متن کاملObservation of the bottomonium ground state, ηb, at BaBar
We present the first observation of the bottomonium ground state ηb(1S) in the photon energy spectrum using a sample of (109 ± 1) million of Υ(3S) events recorded at the Υ(3S) energy with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B factory at SLAC. A peak at Eγ = 921.2 +2.1 −2.8(stat) ± 2.4(syst) MeV observed with a significance of 10 standard deviations in the photon energy spectrum is interpretated as...
متن کاملUpdated constraints from radiative Υ decays on a light CP - odd
The possible existence of a light CP-odd Higgs state in many new-physics models could lead to observable effects in the bottomonium sector. Experimental bounds on radiative Υ decays through such a pseudoscalar state and possible mixings with the η b states are reviewed. Combining these two effects, we set constraints on the properties of the CP-odd Higgs in the limit of small photon energy of B...
متن کاملHeavy Quarkonia
Recent experimental results on heavy quarkonia spectroscopy and decays are reviewed. In particular, new results are discussed on charmonium spin singlet states, bottomonium D-states, photon and hadronic transitions from heavy quarkonium states, and the unexplained narrow X(3872) state.
متن کاملSpectroscopy of Heavy Quarkonia
In the last few years, the CLEO III experiment has recorded a large collection of data sets at the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), Υ(3S) and ψ(2S) resonances. Preliminary results of studies of these data sets are shown here, which include the observation of a new Υ(1D) state, as well as several hadronic and radiative transitions of Υ and ψ(2S) states. In addition, precision branching ratio measurements of charmo...
متن کاملRadiative Transitions in Charmonium
The form factors for the radiative transitions between charmonium mesons are investigated. We employ an anisotropic lattice using a Wilson gauge action, and domain-wall fermion action. We extrapolate the form factors to Q2 = 0, corresponding to a real photon, using quark-model-inspired functions. Finally, comparison is made with photocouplings extracted from the measured radiative widths, where...
