We use 111+/-1 million Upsilon(3S) and 89+/-1 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory at SLAC to perform a study of radiative transitions between bottomonium states using photons that have been converted to e+e- pairs by the detector material. We observe Upsilon(3S) -> gamma chi_b0,2(1P) decay, make precise measurements of the branching fractions for chi_b1,2(1P,2P) -> gamma Upsilon(1S) and chi_b1,2(2P) -> gamma Upsilon(2S) decays, and search for radiative decay to the eta_b(1S) and eta_b(2S) states.

The processes $X(3872)to D^{*0}bar{D^{0}}+c.c.,~gamma J/psi,~gamma psi(2S),$ and $gamma D^{+}D^{-}$ are searched for in a $9.0~rm fb^{-1}$ data sample collected at center-of-mass energies between $4.178$ and $4.278$ GeV with the BESIII detector. We o bserve $X(3872)to D^{*0}bar{D^{0}}+c.c.$ and find evidence for $X(3872)togamma J/psi$ with statistical significances of $7.4sigma$ and $3.5sigma$, respectively. No evident signals for $X(3872)togammapsi(2S)$ and $gamma D^{+}D^{-}$ are found, and upper limit on the relative branching ratio $R_{gamma psi} equivfrac{mathcal{B}(X(3872)togammapsi(2S))}{mathcal{B}(X(3872)togamma J/psi)}<0.59$ is set at 90$%$ confidence level. Measurements of branching ratios relative to decay $X(3872)topi^+pi^- J/psi$ are also reported for decays $X(3872)to D^{*0}bar{D^{0}}+c.c., ~gammapsi(2S),~gamma J/psi$, $gamma D^{+}D^{-}$, as well as the non-$D^{*0}bar{D}^{0}$ three-body decays $pi^0 D^{0}bar{D}^{0}$ and $gamma D^{0}bar{D}^{0}$.
We search for bottomonium states in Upsilon(2S)-> (bb-bar) gamma decays with an integrated luminosity of 24.7fb^-1 recorded at the Upsilon(2S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEK, containing (157.8+-3.6) X 10^6 Upsilon(2S) events. The (bb-bar) s ystem is reconstructed in 26 exclusive hadronic final states composed of charged pions, kaons, protons, and K^0_S mesons. We find no evidence for the state recently observed around 9975 MeV (X_(bb-bar)) in an analysis based on a data sample of 9.3 X 10^6 Upsilon(2S) events collected with the CLEO III detector. We set a 90 % confidence-level upper limit on the branching fraction B[Upsilon(2S)-> X_(bb-bar) gamma] X sum_i{B[X_(bb-bar)-> h_i]}< 4.9 X 10^-6, summed over the exclusive hadronic final states employed in our analysis. This result is an order of magnitude smaller than the measurement reported with CLEO data. We also set an upper limit for the eta_b(1S) state of B[Upsilon(2S)-> eta_b(1S) gamma] X sum_i{B[eta_b(1S)-> h_i]}< 3.7 X 10^-6.
Radiative decays of bottomonium are revisited, focusing on contributions from higher-order relativistic effects. The leading relativistic correction to the magnetic spin-flip operator at the photon vertex is found to be particularly important. The co mbination of O(v^6) effects in the nonrelativistic QCD action and in the transition operator moves previous lattice results for excited Upsilon decays into agreement with experiment.
We report on an experiment that demonstrates the frequency up-conversion of telecommunication wavelength single-photon-level pulses to be resonant with a $mathrm{Pr}^{3+}$:$mathrm{Y}_2mathrm{Si}mathrm{O}_5$ crystal. We convert the telecom photons at $1570,mathrm{nm}$ to $606,mathrm{nm}$ using a periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate nonlinear waveguide. The maximum device efficiency (which includes all optical loss) is inferred to be $eta_{mathrm{dev}}^{mathrm{max}} = 22 pm 1,%$ (internal efficiency $eta_{mathrm{int}} = 75pm8,%$) with a signal to noise ratio exceeding 1 for single-photon-level pulses with durations of up to 560$,$ns. The converted light is then stored in the crystal using the atomic frequency comb scheme with storage and retrieval efficiencies exceeding $eta_{mathrm{AFC}} = 20,%$ for predetermined storage times of up to $5,mumathrm{s}$. The retrieved light is time delayed from the noisy conversion process allowing us to measure a signal to noise ratio exceeding 100 with telecom single-photon-level inputs. These results represent the first demonstration of single-photon-level optical storage interfaced with frequency up-conversion.

Using a well-established effective interaction in a rainbow-ladder truncation model of QCD, we fix the remaining model parameter to the bottomonium ground-state spectrum in a covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation approach and find surprisingly good agree ment with the available experimental data including the 2^{--} Upsilon(1D) state. Furthermore, we investigate the consequences of such a fit for charmonium and light-quark ground states.
