As an aftermath of the debate between Voloshin and Kuang and Yan since 1986, we now have a fairly clear picture of the type of experiments in the {ital c{bar c}} and {ital b{bar b}} heavy-quarkonium systems (most of them accessible in the near future) which will give definitive guidance to theory. They include measurements of the rate {Upsilon}(3{ital S}){r arrow}{Upsilon}(1 {sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}){pi}{pi} and {Gamma}({psi}(1 {sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}){r arrow}{ital p{bar p}}){ital B}({psi}(1 {sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}){r arrow}{ital J}/{psi}{pi}{pi}) {times}{ital B}({ital J}/{psi}{r arrow}{ital e}{sup +}{ital e}{sup {minus}}), {Gamma}({Upsilon}(1{ital D}){r arrow}{Upsilon}(1{ital S}){pi}{pi}), {Gamma}({psi}(1{ital D}){r arrow}{ital J}/{psi}{pi}{pi}), and at some future date a measurement of {Gamma}({psi}(1 {sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}){r arrow}{gamma}{eta}{sub {ital c}}). If the Lipkin-Tuan model does have significance for heavy-quarkonium dipion mass spectra, measurement of the spectra in {Upsilon}(3{ital S}){r arrow}{Upsilon}(1{ital S},2{ital S}){pi}{pi}, {psi}(1{ital D},2{ital S}){r arrow}{ital J}/{psi}{pi}{pi} (and ultimately {Upsilon}(3{ital S}){r arrow}{Upsilon}(1 {sup 1}{ital P}{sub 1}){pi}{pi} mass spectrum) as well as the rate for {psi}(1{ital D}){r arrow}{ital J}/{psi}{pi}{pi} shall be quite revealing.
