چکیده

Continuing our studies of radiative Υ decays, we report on a search for Υ → γη and Υ → γfJ(2220) in 61.3 pb of ee data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. For the γη search the three decays of the η meson to πππ, πππ, and γγ were investigated. We found no candidate events in the (3π) modes and no significant excess over expected backgrounds in the γγ mode to set a limit on the branching fraction of B(Υ → γη)<2.1×10−5 at 90% C.L. The three charged two-body final states hh (h = π,K, p) were investigated for fJ(2220) production, with one, one, and two events found, respectively. Limits at 90% C.L. of B(Υ → γfJ) × B(fJ → hh) ∼ 1.5× 10 have been set for each of these modes. We compare our results to measurements of other radiative Υ decays, to measurements of radiative J/ψ decays, and to theoretical predictions.

Radiative Decay of Υ into a

We study the radiative decay of Υ into a scalar glueball Υ → γGs using QCD factorization. We find that for this process the non-perturbative effects can be factorized into a matrix element defined in non-relativistic QCD which can be determined from leptonic decay of Υ, and into the gluon parton distribution amplitude, whose asymptotic form is known up to a normalization constant. Normalizing t...

Updated 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...

QCD Corrections to Radiative Υ Decays

We have calculated the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the photon energy spectrum in radiative Υ decays. The higher-order corrections significantly modify the shape of the spectrum, in particular at large photon energies, and thereby reduce the discrepancy between experimental data and previous leading-order predictions. The next-to-leading order calculation of the photon ...

Hot Topics in BABAR

A search for a two-body transition Υ (3S) → γA0, where A0 is a light scalar particle, followed by its decay into 2 muons has been performed using a data sample of (121 ± 1.2) × 106 Υ (3S) decays. As ΓΥ (4S)/ΓΥ (3S) ≈ 10 3, one has greater sensitivity to rare decays using Υ (3S) decays than Υ (4S) samples. The Standard Model (SM) predicts the existence of the Higgs boson to account for the diffe...
