Spectroscopy of higher bottomonia

Abstract

In this contribution, we discuss our recent unquenched quark model results for the spectrum of bbˉb \bar b mesons with self energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. Our unquenched quark model predictions for the masses of the recently discovered χb(3P)\chi_b(3P) states are compared to those of a re-fit of Godfrey and Isgur's relativized quark model to the most recent experimental data. The possible importance of continuum effects in the χb(3P)\chi_b(3P) states is discussed. Finally, we show our quark model results for the radiative decays of the χb(3P)\chi_b(3P) system and the open-bottom decays of bbˉb \bar b mesons.Comment: Talk given at the conference "Dark Matter, Hadron Physics and Fusion Physics", Messina (Italy), September 24-26, 201
