X Abstract

We study the energy distributions of dipion transitions $Υ(5S)$ to $Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$ in the final state rescattering model. Since the $Υ(5S)$ is well above the open bottom thresholds, the dipion transitions are expected to mainly proceed through the real processes $Υ(5S)\to B^(*)\barB^(*)$ and $B^(*)\barB^(*)\to Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$. We find that the energy distributions of $Υ(1S,2S,3S)π^+π^-$ markedly differ from that of $Υ(5S)\to B^(*)\barB^(*)$. In particular, the resonance peak will be pushed up by about 10-20 MeV for these dipion transitions relative to the main hadronic decay modes. These predictions can be used to test the final state rescattering mechanism in hadronic transitions for heavy quarkonia above the open flavor thresholds.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
