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.

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 U psilon(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.
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 ${cal B}[h_b(1P) to gamma eta_b(1S)]= (56 pm 8 pm 4) %$.
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 si gnificant 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.
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 Upsilo n(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).
We calculate the annihilation decay widths of spin-singlet heavy quarkonia $h_c, h_b$ and $eta_b$} into light hadrons with both QCD and relativistic corrections at order $O(alpha_{s}v^{2})$ in nonrelativistic QCD. With appropriate estimates for the l ong-distance matrix elements by using the potential model and operator evolution method, we find that our predictions of these decay widths are consistent with recent experimental measurements. We also find that the $O(alpha_{s}v^{2})$ corrections are small for $bbar{b}$ states but substantial for $cbar{c}$ states. In particular, the negative contribution of $O(alpha_{s}v^{2})$ correction to the $h_{c}$ decay can lower the decay width, as compared with previous predictions without the $O(alpha_{s}v^{2})$ correction, and thus result in a good agreement with the recent BESIII measurement.
