Search for transitions in bottomonium involving a single pseudoscalar meson

ORAL

Abstract

Using approximately 9 million $\Upsilon(2S)$ decays and 6 million $\Upsilon(3S)$ decays, the CLEO Collaboration has searched for rare hadronic transitions between the $\Upsilon$ states involving a single $\pi^0$ or $\eta$ meson. We present the results of the measurements or upper limits for each of the following transitions: $\Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(1S)(\pi^0\;\mbox{or }\eta)$, $\Upsilon(3S)\to\Upsilon(2S)\pi^0$,$\Upsilon(2S)\to\Upsilon(1S)(\pi^0\;\mbox{or }\eta)$.
