Tensor-meson dominance in the UPSILON system

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
Tensor-meson dominance is extended to the bb system and a sum rule to test the validity of this extension is derived. The sum rule connects the widths GAMMA(UPSILON''..--> gamma..f/sub b//sup prime/), GAMMA(UPSILON''..--> gamma..f/sub b/), GAMMA(f/sub b//sup prime/..--> gamma..UPSILON'), GAMMA(f/sub b//sup prime/..--> gamma..UPSILON), GAMMA(UPSILON'..--> gamma..f/sub b/), and GAMMA(f/sub b/..--> gamma..UPSILON) to each other (with f/sub b/ and f/sub b//sup prime/ the narrow b-barb tensor mesons predicted by potential models). The corresponding result for the c-barc system is known to predict GAMMA(f/sub c/(3.55)..--> gamma..psi) = 700 keV proportional to the experimental GAMMA(psi'..--> gamma..f/sub c/(3.55)).
