"Analysis of hadronic transitions in Υ(3S) decays." Physical Review D, 49(1):40. http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.49.401550-7998https://hdl.handle.net/1808/15297This is the publisher's version, also available electronically from http://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.49.40.Using the CLEO II detector, we have measured the branching fractions for Υ(3S)→ππΥ(1S), Υ(3S)→ππΥ(2S), and the cascade Υ(3S)→Υ(2S)+X, Υ(2S)→π+π−Υ(1S), analyzing the exclusive mode where the daughter Υ state decays to a e(+)e(−) or μ(+)μ(−) pair, as well as the inclusive π(+)π(−) transitions where the final Υ state decays into hadrons. Properties of the ππ system are analyzed. Searches for the cascade decay Υ(3S)→π+π−h(b), h(b)→γη(b) and Υ(3S)→π0h(b) were also performed.Article10.1103/PhysRevD.49.40openAccess
