Decays of and into
Abstract: In this paper, we model as a $4S$-$3D$ bottomonium mixture and as a $5S$-$4D$ mixture, and predict the properties of a new bottomonium state, , as the mixing partner of . The mixing angles are derived from dielectron decay widths and mass shifts of these bottomonia. We consider open-bottom meson loops in the decays of the -wave bottomonium components, based on a nonrelativistic effective field theory power counting. We show that the - mixing scheme is consistent with the experimental data of the decays of into () and into (). Predictions for the dielectron widths and partial decay widths into for and are presented.
