We estimate the $Upsilon$, $eta_b$ and $B^*$ meson mass shifts in symmetric nuclear matter. The interest is, whether the strengths of the bottomonium-(nuclear matter) and charmonium-(nuclear matter) interactions are similar or different. This is because, each ($J/Psi,Upsilon$) and ($eta_c,eta_b$) meson group is usually assumed to have very similar properties based on the heavy charm and bottom quark masses. The estimate for the $Upsilon$ is made using an SU(5) effective Lagrangian and the anomalous coupling one, by studying the $BB$, $BB^*$, and $B^*B^*$ meson loop contributions for the self-energy. As for the $eta_b$, we include the $BB^*$ and $B^*B^*$ meson loop contributions in the self-energy. The in-medium masses of the $B$ and $B^*$ mesons appearing in the self-energy are calculated by the quark-meson coupling model. An analysis on the $BB$, $BB^*$, and $B^*B^*$ meson loops in the $Upsilon$ mass shift is made by comparing with the corresponding $DD, DD^*$, and $D^*D^*$ meson loops for the $J/Psi$ mass shift. Our prediction for the $eta_b$ mass shift is made including only the lowest order $BB^*$ meson loop. The $Upsilon$ mass shift, with including only the $BB$ loop, is predicted to be -16 to -22 MeV at the nuclear matter saturation density using the $Upsilon BB$ coupling constant determined by the vector meson dominance model with the experimental data, while the $eta_b$ mass shift is predicted to be -75 to -82 MeV with the SU(5) universal coupling constant determined by the $Upsilon BB$ coupling constant. Our results show an appreciable difference between the bottomonium-(nuclear matter) and charmonium-(nuclear matter) interaction strengths. We also study the $Upsilon$ and $eta_b$ mass shifts in a heavy quark (heavy meson) symmetry limit.

We investigate the gluonic structure of nuclei within a mean-field model of nuclear structure based upon the self-consistent modification of the structure of a bound nucleon, with the nucleon described by the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. This approach has been shown to reproduce the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) effect, involving the ratio of the spin-independent structure functions of a heavier nucleus to that of the deuteron. It also predicts a significant nuclear modification for the spin structure functions, known as the polarized EMC effect. Here we report sizeable nuclear modifications of the gluon distributions (a gluon EMC effect) for the ratios of both the unpolarized and polarized gluon distributions in nuclear matter to those of a free nucleon.
The SU(3)-flavor violating decay $J/psitoXi(1530)^{-}barXi^{+}+c.c.$ is studied using $(1310.6pm7.0)times 10^{6} ~J/psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII and the branching fraction is measured to be ${cal{B}}(J/psitoXi(1530)^{-}barXi^{+}+c.c.)=(3.17pm0.02_{rm stat.}pm0.08_{rm syst.})times10^{-4}$. This is consistent with previous measurements with an improved precision. The angular parameter for this decay is measured for the first time and is found to be $alpha=-0.21pm0.04_{rm stat.}pm0.06_{rm syst.}$. In addition, we report evidence for the radiative decay $Xi(1530)^{-}togammaXi^- $ with a significance of 3.9$sigma$, including the systematic uncertainties. The 90% confidence level upper limit on the branching fraction is determined to be $mathcal{B}(Xi(1530)^{-}togammaXi^- )leq3.7$%.
The Light-front quark model (LFQM) has been applied to calculate the transition matrix elements of heavy hadron decays. However, it is noted that using the traditional wave functions of the LFQM given in literature, the theoretically determined decay constants of the $Upsilon(nS)$ obviously contradict to the data. It implies that the wave functions must be modified. Keeping the orthogonality among the $nS$ states and fitting their decay constants we obtain a series of the wave functions for $Upsilon(nS)$. Based on these wave functions and by analogy to the hydrogen atom, we suggest a modified analytical form for the $Upsilon(nS)$ wave functions. By use of the modified wave functions, the obtained decay constants are close to the experimental data. Then we calculate the rates of radiative decays of $Upsilon(nS)to eta_b+gamma$. Our predictions are consistent with the experimental data on decays $Upsilon(3S)to eta_b+gamma$ within the theoretical and experimental errors.
The data for 9.3 million Upsilon(2S) and 20.9 million Upsilon(1S) taken with the CLEO III detector has been used to study the radiative population of states identified by their decay into twenty six different exclusive hadronic final states. In the Upsilon(2S) decays an enhancement is observed at a ~5 sigma level at a mass of 9974.6+-2.3(stat)+-2.1(syst) MeV. It is attributed to eta_b(2S), and corresponds to the Upsilon(2S) hyperfine splitting of 48.7+-2.3(stat)+-2.1(syst) MeV. In the Upsilon(1S) decays, the identification of eta_b(1S) is confirmed at a ~3 sigma level with M(eta_b(1S)) in agreement with its known value.
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.
