Decays of the Y(5S) resonance to channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons are studied using a 23.6 fb^-1 data sample collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. The fully reconstructed B^+ -> J/psi K^+, B^0 -> J/psi K^{*0}, B^+ -> bar_D^0 pi^+ and B^0 -> D^- pi^+ decays are used to obtain the B^+ and B^0 production rates per bb_bar event, f(B^+) = (67.5 pm 3.6 pm 4.8)% and f(B^0)=(70.4^{+5.2}_{-5.1} pm 6.2)%$. Assuming equal rates to B^+ and B^0 mesons in all channels produced at the Y(5S) energy, we measure the fractions for bb_bar event transitions to the two-body and multi-body channels with B^{+/0} meson pairs, f(Bbar{B}) = (5.1 pm 0.9 pm 0.4)%, f(Bbar{B}^*+B^*bar{B}) = (12.6^{+1.2}_{-1.1} pm 1.0)%, f(B^*bar{B}^*) = (34.5^{+1.9}_{-1.8} pm 2.7)%, f(B^{(*)}bar{B}^{(*)}pi(pi)) = (16.4^{+1.6}_{-1.5} pm 1.2)%, f(Bbar{B} pi) = (0.0 pm 1.1 pm 0.2)%, f(Bbar{B}^*pi+B^*bar{B}pi) = (6.8^{+2.1}_{-2.0} pm 0.7)%, and f(B^*bar{B}^*pi) = (1.0^{+1.3}_{-1.2} pm 0.3)%.
Decays of the Y(5S) resonance to channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons are studied using a 23.6 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^+ e^- collider. Fully reconstructed B^+ -> J/psi K^+, B^0 -> J/psi K^{*0}, B^+ -> bar{D}^0 pi^+ and B^0 -> D^- pi^+ decays are used to obtain the charged and neutral B production rates per bbar{b} event, f(B^+) = (72.1 ^{+3.9}_{-3.8} pm 5.0)% and f(B^0) = (77.0 ^{+5.8}_{-5.6} pm 6.1)%. Assuming equal rates to B^+ and B^0 mesons in all channels produced at the Y(5S) energy, we measure the fractions for transitions to two-body and three-body channels with B meson pairs, f(Bbar{B}) = (5.5 ^{+1.0}_{-0.9} pm 0.4)%, f(Bbar{B}^* + B^*bar{B}) = (13.7 pm 1.3 pm 1.1)%, f(B^*bar{B}^*) = (37.5 ^{+2.1}_{-1.9} pm 3.0)%, f(Bbar{B}pi) = (0.0 pm 1.2 pm 0.3)%, f(Bbar{B}^*pi + B^*bar{B}pi) = (7.3 ^{+2.3}_{-2.1} pm 0.8)%, and f(B^*bar{B}^*pi) = (1.0 ^{+1.4}_{-1.3} pm 0.4)%. The latter three fractions are obtained assuming isospin conservation.
Recent results obtained using the data sample of 23.6 fb^-1 collected on the Y(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+ e- collider are discussed. Measurements of several B_s^0 decay branching fractions are reported. Studies of the Y(5S) decays to the channels with B^+ and B^0 mesons or bottomonium states are discussed.
Recent results and future prospects for Y(5S) running at B-factories are discussed. The first Belle measurements with 23.6 fb-1 of data taken at the Y(5S) energy are reported. Eligibility of potential measurements expected with 100 fb-1 and 1000 fb-1 of data at the Y(5S) is estimated.
We report the observation of two narrow structures in the mass spectra of the pi+-Y(nS) (n=1,2,3) and pi+-hb(mP)(m$ (m=1,2) pairs that are produced in association with a single charged pion in Y(5S) decays. The measured masses and widths of the two structures averaged over the five final states are M_1=(10607.2+-2.0) MeV/c2, Gamma_1=(18.4+-2.4) MeV and M_2=(10652.2+-1.5) MeV/c2, Gamma_2=(11.5+-2.2) MeV. The results are obtained with a 121.4 1/fb data sample collected with the Belle detector in the vicinity of the Y(5S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.
Using proton-proton collision data collected by the LHCb experiment at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb^{-1}, the ratio of branching fractions of the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ decay relative to the B0 -> D*- pi+ decay is measured to be B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+) = 2.64 pm 0.04 (stat.) pm 0.13 (syst.). The Cabibbo-suppressed decay B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+ is observed for the first time and the measured ratio of branching fractions is B(B0 -> D*- K+ pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (6.47 pm 0.37 (stat.) pm 0.35 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}. A search for orbital excitations of charm mesons contributing to the B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+ final state is also performed, and the first observation of the B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi+ pi- decay is reported with the ratio of branching fractions B(B0 -> (Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+) pi- pi+) / B(B0 -> D*- pi+ pi- pi+) = (2.04 pm 0.42 (stat.) pm 0.22 (syst.)) x 10^{-2}, where the numerator represents a product of the branching fractions B(B0 -> Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 pi- pi+) and B(Dbar_{1}(2420)^0 -> D*- pi+).
