Observation of ϒ ( 2 S ) → γ η b ( 1 S ) Decay
We report the observation of Υ(2S) → γηb(1S) decay based on analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at the Υ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We measure a branching fraction of B(Υ(2S) → γηb (1S...

Summary: | We report the observation of Υ(2S) → γηb(1S) decay based on analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb-1 of e+e- collisions at the Υ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We measure a branching fraction of B(Υ(2S) → γηb (1S)] = (6.1$+0.6+0.9\atop{-0.7-0.6}$) × 10-4, and derive an ηb (1S) mass of 9394.8$+2.7+4.5\atop{-3.1-2.7}$ MeV/c2, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of our measurement is greater than 7 standard deviations, constituting the first observation of this decay mode. |
