چکیده
We report the first observations of the spin-singlet bottomonium states h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P). The states are produced in the reaction e(+)e(-)→h(b)(nP)π(+)π(-) using a 121.4 fb(-1) data sample collected at energies near the Υ(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We determine M[h(b)(1P)]=(9898.2(-1.0-1.1)(+1.1+1.0)) MeV/c(2) and M[h(b)(2P)]=(10,259.8±0.6(-1.0)(+1.4)) MeV/c(2), which correspond to P-wave hyperfine splittings ΔM(HF)=(+1.7±1.5) and (+0.5(-1.2)(+1.6)) MeV/c(2), respectively. The significances of the h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P) are 5.5σ and 11.2σ, respectively. We find that the production of the h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P) is not suppressed relative to the production of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S).

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 کاملNRQCD Analysis of Bottomonium Production at the Tevatron
Recent data from the CDF collaboration on the production of spin-triplet bottomonium states at the Tevatron pp̄ collider are analyzed within the NRQCD factorization formalism. The color-singlet matrix elements are determined from electromagnetic decays and from potential models. The color-octet matrix elements are determined by fitting the CDF data on the cross sections for Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3...
متن کاملNew Heavy Exotic Hadrons
We review recent studies on exotic states at the Belle experiment. The results include: (1) The measurement of the cross sections of γγ → ωφ , φφ , and ωω for masses that range from threshold to 4.0 GeV. In addition to signals from well established spin-zero and spin-two charmonium states, there are clear resonant structures below charmonium threshold, which have not been previously observed. W...

No spin-singlet bb̄ quarkonium state has yet been observed. In this paper we discuss the production of the singlet P-wave bb̄ and cc̄ P1 states hb and hc. We consider two possibilities. In the first the P1 states are produced via the electromagnetic cascades Υ(3S) → ηb(2S)+γ → hb+γγ → ηb+γγγ and ψ → η c+γ → hc+γγ → ηc+γγγ. A more promising process consists of single pion transition to the P1 state...
