We study hadronic transitions between bottomonium states using 496 fb-1 data collected at the $$Y$$(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. We measure B($$Y$$(4S)→π+π-$-Y$(1S))=(8.2 ± 0.5(stat) ± 0.4(syst))×10-5, B($$Y$$(4S) → π+π-$$Y$$ð2SÞÞ¼ð7.91.0ðstatÞ 0.4ðsystÞÞ×10-5, and Bð$$Y$$ð4SÞ → η$$Y$$ð1SÞÞ ¼ ð1.70 0.23ðstatÞ 0.08ðsystÞÞ × 10-4. We measure the ratio of branching fractions R ¼ Bð$$Y$$ð4SÞ → η$$Y$$ð1SÞÞ=Bð$$Y$$ð4SÞ → πþπ-$$Y$$ð1SÞÞ ¼ 2.07 0.30ðstatÞ 0.11ðsystÞ. We search for the decay $$Y$$ð13D1;2 Þ → η$$Y$$ð1SÞ, but do not find significant evidence for such a transition.We also measure the initial-state radiation production cross sections of the $$Y$$ð2S; 3SÞ resonances and we find values compatible with the expected ones. Finally, the analysis of the $$Y$$(4S) → π+π-$$Y$$(1S) events shows indications for a resonant contribution due to the f0 (980) meson.
