Scalar resonance contributions to the dipion transition rates of {upsilon}(4S,5S) in the rescattering model

In order to explain the observed unusually large dipion transition rates of {upsilon}(10870), the scalar resonance contributions in the rescattering model to the dipion transitions of {upsilon}(4S) and {upsilon}(5S) are studied. Since the imaginary part of the rescattering amplitude is expected to be dominant, the large ratios of the transition rates of {upsilon}(10870), which is identified with {upsilon}(5S), to that of {upsilon}(4S) can be understood as mainly coming from the difference between the p values in their decays into open bottom channels, and the ratios are estimated numerically to be about 200-600 with reasonable choices of parameters. The absolute and relative rates of {upsilon}(5S){yields}{upsilon}(1S,2S,3S){pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and {upsilon}(5S){yields}{upsilon}(1S)K{sup +}K{sup -} are roughly consistent with data. We emphasize that the dipion transitions observed for some of the newly discovered Y states associated with charmonia may have similar features to the dipion transitions of {upsilon}(5S). Measurements on the dipion transitions of {upsilon}(6S) could provide further tests for this mechanism.
