    Energy scan of the e+ehb(nP)π+πe^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2)(n=1,2) cross sections and evidence for the Υ(11020)\Upsilon(11020) decays into charged bottomonium-like states

    Using data collected with the Belle detector in the energy region of the Υ(10860)\Upsilon(10860) and Υ(11020)\Upsilon(11020) resonances we measure the e+ehb(nP)π+πe^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2)(n=1,2) cross sections. Their energy dependences show clear Υ(10860)\Upsilon(10860) and Υ(11020)\Upsilon(11020) peaks with a small or no non-resonant contribution. We study resonant structure of the Υ(11020)hb(nP)π+π\Upsilon(11020) \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- transitions and find evidence that they proceed entirely via intermediate charged bottomonium-like states Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and/or Zb(10650)Z_b(10650) (with current statistics we can not discriminate hypotheses of one or two intermediate states).Using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider, we measure the energy dependence of the e+e-→hb(nP)π+π- (n=1, 2) cross sections from thresholds up to 11.02 GeV. We find clear ϒ(10860) and ϒ(11020) peaks with little or no continuum contribution. We study the resonant substructure of the ϒ(11020)→hb(nP)π+π- transitions and find evidence that they proceed entirely via the intermediate isovector states Zb(10610) and Zb(10650). The relative fraction of these states is loosely constrained by the current data: The hypothesis that only Zb(10610) is produced is excluded at the level of 3.3 standard deviations, while the hypothesis that only Zb(10650) is produced is not excluded at a significant level.Using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+ee^+e^- collider, we measure the energy dependence of the e+ehb(nP)π+πe^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- (n=1,2)(n=1,2) cross sections from thresholds up to 11.0211.02\,GeV.

We study the resonant substructure of the Υ(11020)hb(nP)π+π\Upsilon(11020) \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^- transitions and find evidence that they proceed entirely via the intermediate isovector states Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and Zb(10650)Z_b(10650).
