We perform the first global and unitary analysis of e + e − → b b cross sections. We analyze exclusive cross sections in the B B, B * B(+c.c.), B * B * , B * s B * s , Υ(nS)π + π − and h b (nP )π + π − channels as well as the total inclusive cross section for b b production. Pole positions and residues are determined for four vector states, which we associate with the Υ(4S), Υ(10750), Υ(5S) (or Υ(10860)), and Υ(6S) (or Υ(11020)). We find strong evidence for the new Υ(10750) recently claimed by Belle, although with parameters not well constrained by the data. Results presented here cast doubt on the validity of branching ratios reported earlier using Breit-Wigner parameterizations or ratios of cross sections. We also compare our results with a selection of theoretical calculations for the vector bottomonium spectrum.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
