Study of η and dipion transitions in Υ(4S) decays to lower bottomonia

Description

Here, we study hadronic transitions between bottomonium states using 496fb-1 data collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. We measure B(Υ(4S)π+π-Υ(1S))=(8.2±0.5(stat)±0.4(syst))×10-5, B(Υ(4S)π+π-Υ(2S))=(7.9±1.0(stat)±0.4(syst))×10-5, and B(Υ(4S)ηΥ(1S))=(1.70±0.23(stat)±0.08(syst))×10-4. We measure the ratio of branching fractions R=B(Υ(4S)ηΥ(1S))/B(Υ(4S)π+π-Υ(1S))=2.07±0.30(stat)±0.11(syst). We search for the decay Υ(1D31,2)ηΥ(1S), but do not find significant evidence for such a transition. We also measure the initial-state radiation production cross sections of the Υ(2S,3S) resonances and we find values compatible with the expected ones. Finally, the analysis of the Υ(4S)π+π-Υ(1S) events reflects indications for a resonant contribution due to the f0(980) meson.
