We report on a precision measurement of the ratio ${cal R}_{taumu}^{Upsilon(3S)} = {cal B}(Upsilon(3S)totau^+tau^-)/{cal B}(Upsilon(3S)tomu^+mu^-)$ using data collected with the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II $e^+e^-$ collider. The measurement is based on a 28 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.355 GeV corresponding to a sample of 122 million $Upsilon(3S)$ mesons. The ratio is measured to be ${cal R}_{taumu}^{Upsilon(3S)} = 0.966 pm 0.008_mathrm{stat} pm 0.014_mathrm{syst}$ and is in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of 0.9948 within 2 standard deviations. The uncertainty in ${cal R}_{taumu}^{Upsilon(3S)}$ is almost an order of magnitude smaller than the only previous measurement.

We have studied the inclusive photon spectra in Upsilon(2S) and Upsilon(3S) decays using a large statistics data sample obtained with the CLEO III detector. We present the most precise measurements of electric dipole (E1) photon transition rates and photon energies for Upsilon(2S)->gamma chi_bJ(1P) and Upsilon(3S)->gamma chi_bJ(2P) J=0,1,2. We measure the rate for a rare E1 transition Upsilon(3S)->gamma chi_b0(1P) for the first time. We also set upper limits on the rates for the hindered magnetic dipole (M1) transitions to the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S) states.
The inclusive $Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$ photoproduction at the future Circular-Electron-Positron-Collider (CEPC) is studied based on the non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD). Including the contributions from both direct and resolved photons, we present different distributions for $Upsilon(1S,2S,3S)$ production and the results show there will be considerable events, which means that a well measurements on the $Upsilon$ photoprodution could be performed to further study on the heavy quarkonium physics at electron-positron collider in addition to hadron colliders. This supplement study is very important to clarify the current situation of the heavy quarkonium production mechanism.
Using the CLEO~II detector we measure ${cal B}(D_s^+to eta e^+ u)/{cal B}(D_s^+to phi e^+ u) =1.24pm0.12pm0.15$, ${cal B}(D_s^+to eta e^+ u)/{cal B}(D_s^+to phi e^+ u) =0.43pm0.11pm0.07$ and ${cal B}(D_s^+to eta e^+ u)/{cal B}(D_s^+to eta e^+ u) =0.35pm0.09pm0.07$. We find the vector to pseudoscalar ratio, ${cal B}(D_s^+to phi e^+ u)/{cal B}(D_s^+to (eta+eta) e^+ u) =0.60pm0.06pm0.06$, which is similar to the ratio found in non strange $D$ decays.
Based on $(106.41 pm 0.86)times 10^{6}$ $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, the branching fractions of $psi(3686) to pi^+pi^- J/psi$, $J/psi to e^+e^- $, and $J/psi to mu^+mu^-$ are measured. We obtain ${cal B}[psi(3686) to pi^+pi^-J/psi]=(34.98pm 0.02pm 0.45)%$, ${cal B}[J/psi to e^+e^-] = (5.983 pm 0.007 pm 0.037)%$ and ${cal B}[J/psi to mu^+mu^-] = (5.973 pm 0.007 pm 0.038)%$. The measurement of ${cal B}[psi(3686) to pi^{+}pi^{-}J/psi]$ confirms the CLEO-c measurement, and is apparently larger than the others. The measured $J/psi$ leptonic decay branching fractions agree with previous experiments within one standard deviation. These results lead to ${cal B}[J/psi to l^+l^-] = (5.978 pm 0.005 pm 0.040)%$ by averaging over the $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $mu^{+}mu^{-}$ channels and a ratio of ${cal B}[J/psi to e^+e^-] / {cal B}[J/psi to mu^+mu^-] = 1.0017 pm 0.0017 pm 0.0033$, which tests $e$-$mu$ universality at the four tenths of a percent level. All the measurements presented in this paper are the most precise in the world to date.
The dipion transitions $Upsilon(2S,3S,4S) to Upsilon(1S,2S)pipi$ are systematically studied by considering the mechanisms of the hadronization of soft gluons, exchanging the bottomoniumlike $Z_b$ states, and the bottom-meson loops. The strong pion-pion final-state interaction, especially including the channel coupling to $Kbar{K}$ in the $S$-wave, is taken into account in a model-independent way using the dispersion theory. Through fitting to the available experimental data, we extract values of the transition chromopolarizabilities $|alpha_{Upsilon(mS)Upsilon(nS)}|$, which measure the chromoelectric couplings of the bottomonia with soft gluons. It is found that the $Z_b$ exchange has a slight impact on the extracted chromopolarizablity values, and the obtained $|alpha_{Upsilon(2S)Upsilon(1S)}|$ considering the $Z_b$ exchange is $(0.29pm 0.20)~text{GeV}^{-3}$. Our results could be useful in studying the interactions of bottomonium with light hadrons.
