Canonical interpretation of Y(10750)Y(10750) and Υ(10860)\Upsilon(10860) in the Υ\Upsilon family

Inspired by the new resonance $Y(10750)$, we calculate the masses and two-body OZI-allowed strong decays of the higher vector bottomonium sates within both screened and linear potential models. We discuss the possibilities of $\Upsilon(10860)$ and $Y(10750)$ as mixed states via the $S-D$ mixing. Our results suggest that $Y(10750)$ and $\Upsilon(10860)$ might be explained as mixed states between $5S$- and $4D$-wave vector $b\bar{b}$ states. The $Y(10750)$ and $\Upsilon(10860)$ resonances may correspond to the mixed states dominated by the $4D$- and $5S$-wave components, respectively. The mass and the strong decay behaviors of the $\Upsilon(11020)$ resonance are consistent with the assignment of the $\Upsilon(6S)$ state in the potential models.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures.

Full-heavy tetraquark states and their evidences in the LHCb di-J/ψJ/\psi spectrum

In the framework of a nonrelativistic potential quark model (NRPQM) for heavy quark system, we investigate the mass spectrum of the $P$-wave tetraquark states of $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$. The Hamiltonian contains a linear confinement potential and parameterized one-gluon-exchange potential which includes a Coulomb type potential and spin-dependent potentials. The full-heavy tetraquark system is solved by a harmonic oscillator expansion method. With the same parameters fixed by the charmonium and bottomonium spectra, we obtained the full spectra for the $S$ and $P$-wave heavy tetraquark states. We find that the narrow structure around 6.9 GeV recently observed at LHCb in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum can be naturally explained by the $P$-wave $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ states. Meanwhile, the observed broad structure around $6.2\sim 6.8$ GeV can be consistently explained by the $S$-wave states around 6.5 GeV predicted in our previous work. Some contributions from those suppressed low-lying $P$-wave states around 6.7 GeV are also possible. Other decay channels are implied in such a scenario and they can be investigated by future experimental analysis. Considering the large discovery potential at LHCb, we give our predictions of the $P$-wave $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$ states which can be searched for in the future.Comment: 5 page, 1 figur

Solvent-free selective oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols catalyzed by ruthenium-bis(benzimidazole)pyridinedicarboxylate complex using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant

AbstractA convenient and selective oxidation of alcohols with aqueous hydrogen peroxide to give the corresponding carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions has been developed. By applying ruthenium-bis(benzimidazole)pyridinedicarboxylate complex [Ru(bbp)(pydic)] as catalyst, primary, and secondary alcohols were oxidized to aldehydes and ketones in good yield and excellent selectivity under mild conditions
