Using a sample of $771.6 times 10^{6}$ $Upsilon(4S)$ decays collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we observe for the first time the transition $Upsilon(4S) to eta h_b(1P)$ with the branching fraction ${cal B}[Upsilon(4S) to eta h_b(1P)]= (2.18 pm 0.11 pm 0.18) times 10^{-3}$ and we measure the $h_b(1P)$ mass $M_{h_{b}(1P)} = (9899.3 pm 0.4 pm 1.0)$ MeV/$c^{2}$, corresponding to the hyperfine splitting $Delta M_{mathrm HF}(1P) = (0.6 pm 0.4 pm 1.0)$ MeV/$c^{2}$. Using the transition $h_b(1P) to gamma eta_b(1S)$, we measure the $eta_b(1S)$ mass $M_{eta_{b}(1S)} = (9400.7 pm 1.7 pm 1.6)$ MeV/$c^{2}$, corresponding to $Delta M_{mathrm HF}(1S) = (59.6 pm 1.7 pm 1.6)$ MeV/$c^{2}$, the $eta_b(1S)$ width $Gamma_{eta_{b}(1S)} = (8 ^{+6}_{-5} pm 5)$ MeV/$c^{2}$ and the branching fraction ${cal B}[h_b(1P) to gamma eta_b(1S)]= (56 pm 8 pm 4) %$.

We report the first evidence for the eta_b(2S) using the h_b(2P)->eta_b(2S)gamma transition and the first observation of the h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma and h_b(2P)->eta_b(1S)gamma transitions. The mass and width of the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S) are measured to be m_etab(1S)=(9402.4+-1.5+-1.8)MeV/c^2, m_etab(2S)=(9999.0+-3.5 +2.8-1.9)MeV/c^2 and Gamma_etab(1S)=(10.8 +4.0-3.7 +4.5-2.0)MeV. We also update the h_b(1P) and h_b(2P) mass measurements. We use a 133.4/fb data sample collected at energies near the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider.
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$sigma$.
In this work, we study the contributions of the intermediate bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states and the bottom meson loops in the heavy quark spin flip transitions $Upsilon(4S) to h_b(1P,2P) pi^+pi^-$. Depending on the constructive or destructive interferences between the $Z_b$-exchange and the bottom meson loops mechanisms, we predict two possible branching ratios for each process: BR$_{Upsilon(4S) to h_b(1P)pi^+pi^-}simeqbig(1.2^{+0.8}_{-0.4}times10^{-6}big)$ or $big( 0.5^{+0.5}_{-0.2}times10^{-6}big)$, and BR$_{Upsilon(4S) to h_b(2P)pi^+pi^-}simeq big(7.1^{+1.7}_{-1.1}times10^{-10}big)$ or $big( 2.4^{+0.2}_{-0.1}times10^{-10}big)$. The bottom meson loops contribution is found to be much larger than the $Z_b$-exchange contribution in the $Upsilon(4S) to h_b(1P) pipi$ transitions, while it can not produce decay rates comparable to the heavy quark spin conserved $Upsilon(4S) to Upsilon(1S,2S) pipi$ processes. We also predict the branch fractions of $psi(3S,4S) to h_c(1P)pi^+pi^-$ contributed from the charm meson loops.
Using a sample of 122 million Upsilon(3S) events recorded with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- collider at SLAC, we search for the $h_b(1P)$ spin-singlet partner of the P-wave chi_{bJ}(1P) states in the sequential decay Upsilon(3S) --> pi0 h_b(1P), h_b(1P) --> gamma eta_b(1S). We observe an excess of events above background in the distribution of the recoil mass against the pi0 at mass 9902 +/- 4(stat.) +/- 2(syst.) MeV/c^2. The width of the observed signal is consistent with experimental resolution, and its significance is 3.1sigma, including systematic uncertainties. We obtain the value (4.3 +/- 1.1(stat.) +/- 0.9(syst.)) x 10^{-4} for the product branching fraction BF(Upsilon(3S)-->pi0 h_b) x BF(h_b-->gamma eta_b).
Using data collected in the Belle experiment at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider we search for transitions $Upsilon(4S) rightarrow eta_b(1S)omega$, $Upsilon(5S) rightarrow eta_b(1S)omega$ and $Upsilon(5S) rightarrow eta_b(2S)omega$. No significant signals are observed and we set 90% confidence level upper limits on the corresponding visible cross sections: $0.2 ~textrm{pb}, 0.4 ~textrm{pb}$ and $1.9 ~textrm{pb}$, respectively.
