Abstract

We report the first observations of the spin-singlet bottomonium states h _b(1P) and h _b(2P). The states are produced in the reaction e ⁺e ^-→h _b(nP)π ⁺π ^- using a 121.4fb ^-1 data sample collected at energies near the Υ(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e ⁺e ^- collider. We determine M[h _b(1P)]=(9898.2- 1.0-1.1+1.1+1.0)MeV/c2 and M[h _b(2P)]=(10259.8±0.6-1.0+1.4)MeV/ c2, which correspond to P-wave hyperfine splittings ΔM _HF=(+1. 7±1.5) and (+0.5-1.2+1.6)MeV/c2, respectively. The significances of the h _b(1P) and h _b(2P) are 5.5σ and 11.2σ, respectively. We find that the production of the h _b(1P) and h _b(2P) is not suppressed relative to the production of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S).

N2 - We report the first observations of the spin-singlet bottomonium states h b(1P) and h b(2P). The states are produced in the reaction e +e -→h b(nP)π +π - using a 121.4fb -1 data sample collected at energies near the Υ(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e +e - collider. We determine M[h b(1P)]=(9898.2- 1.0-1.1+1.1+1.0)MeV/c2 and M[h b(2P)]=(10259.8±0.6-1.0+1.4)MeV/ c2, which correspond to P-wave hyperfine splittings ΔM HF=(+1. 7±1.5) and (+0.5-1.2+1.6)MeV/c2, respectively. The significances of the h b(1P) and h b(2P) are 5.5σ and 11.2σ, respectively. We find that the production of the h b(1P) and h b(2P) is not suppressed relative to the production of the Υ(1S), Υ(2S), and Υ(3S).
