Quarkonium spectroscopy and search for new states at BaBar
نویسنده
چکیده
The BaBar experiment at the PEP-II B-factory gives excellent opportunities for the quarkonium spectroscopy. Investigation of the properties of new states like the X(3872), Y (3940) and Y (4260) are performed aiming to understand their nature. Recent BaBar results will be presented in this paper.

Search for exotics at BABAR
One of the most intriguing puzzles in hadron spectroscopy are the numerous charmonium-like states observed in the last decade, including charged states that are manifestly exotic. Over the years, the experiment BABAR has extensively studied those in B meson decays, initial state radiation processes and two photon reactions. We report in this paper new and additional studies on some of those sta...
متن کاملQuarkonium: New Developments
To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, X(3872) → ππJ/ψ. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium spectroscopy: additional discrete charmonium levels that can be discovered as narrow resonances of charmed and anticharmed mesons. I recall some expectations for a new spec...
متن کاملPentaquarks and new hadron spectroscopy at BABAR
Recent results on the search for pentaquarks and on charmonium spectroscopy at BABAR are reviewed. The latter includes the observation of the puzzling new state X(3872) → J/ψ π π− in B decays, and the searches for X(3872) in two-body B decays and initial state radiation events. Contributed to the Proceedings of the XI International Conference on Elastic and Diffractive Scattering, 5/15/2005—20/...
متن کاملProduction of the hc and hb and Implications for Quarkonium Spectroscopy
The recent observation of the hc is an important test of QCD calculations and provides constraints on models of quarkonium spectroscopy. In this contribution I discuss some of these implications and describe methods to search for the hc and hb via radiative transitions and other means.
متن کاملRecent 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 ...
