The decays of $Upsilon(1s)togamma(eta,eta)$ are studied by an approach which has successfully predicted the ratio $frac{Gamma(J/psitogammaeta)}{Gamma(J/psitogammaeta)}$. Strong dependence on quark mass has been found in the decays $(J/psi, Upsilon(1s))togamma(eta,eta)$. Very small decay rates of $Upsilon(1s)togamma(eta,eta)$ are predicted.
We report the first observation of the hadronic transition $Upsilon(4S)toetaUpsilon(1S)$, using 496 fb$^{-1}$ data collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ collider. We reconstruct the $eta$ meson through its decays to $rho^0gamma$ and to $pi^+pi^-eta$, with $etatogammagamma$. We measure: ${cal B}(Upsilon(4S)toetaUpsilon(1S))=(3.43pm 0.88 {rm(stat.)} pm 0.21 {rm(syst.)})times10^{-5}$, with a significance of 5.7$sigma$.
The hadronic decays eta, eta-prime -> 3 pi and eta-prime -> eta pi pi are investigated within the framework of U(3) chiral effective field theory in combination with a relativistic coupled-channels approach. Final state interactions are included by deriving s- and p-wave interaction kernels for meson-meson scattering from the chiral effective Lagrangian and iterating them in a Bethe-Salpeter equation. Very good overall agreement with currently available data on decay widths and spectral shapes is achieved.
We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance into a final state consisting of a photon and two K0s candidates. We find evidence for a signal for Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2(1525); f_2(1525)->K0sK0s, at a rate (4.0+/-1.3+/-0.6)x10^{-5}, consistent with previous observations of Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2(1525); f_2(1525)->K+K-, and isospin. Combining this branching fraction with existing branching fraction measurements of Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2(1525) and J/psi->gamma f_2(1525), we obtain the ratio of branching fractions: B(Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2(1525))/B(J/psi->gamma f_2(1525))=0.09+/-0.02, approximately consistent with expectations based on soft collinear effective theory.
In this work, we calculate the branching ratios for the $eta(eta)rightarrowbar{ell}ell$ decays, where $ell = e,mu$. These processes have tiny rates in the standard model due to spin flip, loop, and electromagnetic suppression, for what they could be sensitive to New Physics effects. In order to provide a reliable input for the Standard Model, we exploit the general analytical properties of the amplitude. For that purpose, we invoke the machinery of Canterbury approximants, which provides a systematic description of the underlying hadronic physics in a data-driven fashion. Given the current experimental discrepancies, we discuss in detail the role of the resonant region and comment on the reliability of $chi$PT calculations. Finally, we discuss the kind of new physics which we think would be relevant to account for them.
We report the first observation of the processes $e^+e^-toUpsilon(rm 1S,2S)eta$ at $sqrt{s}=10.866$~GeV with a $10.2sigma$ and $16.5sigma$ significance respectively. The measured Born cross sections are $sigma(e^+e^- to Upsilon(2S)eta)=2.07 pm 0.21 pm 0.19$~pb, and $sigma(e^+e^- to Upsilon(rm 1S)eta)=0.42 pm 0.08 pm 0.04$~pb. We also set the upper limit on the cross section of the process $e^+e^- to Upsilon(rm 1S)eta^{prime}$ to be $sigma(e^+e^- to Upsilon(rm 1S)eta^{prime})<0.035$~pb at $90%$ CL. The results are obtained with the data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider in the energy range from $10.63$~GeV to $11.02$~GeV.
