The Upsilon meson (Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".) is a quarkonium state (i.e. flavourless meson) formed from a bottom quark and its antiparticle.

It was discovered by the E288 experiment team, headed by Leon Lederman, at Fermilab in 1977.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.[1] It has a lifetime of 1.21×10−20 s and a mass about 9.46 GeV/c2 in the ground state.

Overview

File:Quark structure bottomonium.svg
Quark structure of the Upsilon meson

There are many species of bottomonium known, but the ones generated by Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle". colliding beams (or proton–nucleus collisions decaying to Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle". + X) are the ones generally referred to as upsilon mesons.[2][3]

Thus, among the bound Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle". bottomonium species, the S-state[a] triplet[b] resonances are identified as upsilons, and are assigned the shorthand notations Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(S1), Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(S2), Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(S3), etc.,[c] where the numbers 1, 2, 3 represent the principal quantum number n. [4][d]

Alternatively, the notation parenthesizing the measured mass in MeV/c2 is used, e.g. Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(10860).[5][6] In the narrow sense, "Upsilon particle" refers strictly to the Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S).[7]

As clear from its quark structure, the Upsilon meson carries no charge or flavor, and has 0 isospin.

The zero spin state should have a lighter mass by about 0.1% to 1% according to quantum chromodynamics.[citation needed]

Discovery

Lederman's E288 experiment team at Fermilab had made a preliminary finding of a resonance at 9.5 GeV/c2 in November 1976, but was more reticent in announcing it because earlier they had prematurely announced a 6 GeV/c2 resonance event (which they were planning to name upsilon; cf. Oops-Leon) with their equipment in dielectron (Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".) mode; this find did not pan out and ultimately could not be confirmed.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. However, with their equipment converted to dimuon (Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".) mode with increased sensitivity upped 100 times, they began measurement in May 1977 and clearly confirmed resonance peaks at 9.4/9.5. 10. 10.4 GeV/c2 (cf. § Resonance states under S1, S2, S3)[e]Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found. These peaks were verified by the German team using DESY's DORIS storage ring.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.

The upsilon was the first particle containing a bottom quark to be discovered because it is the lightest that can be produced without additional massive particles.[citation needed][f]

Resonant states

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S)

Mass measured at 9460.30±0.26 MeV/c2 (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Particle Data Group, 2008)[8]

Lifeime of about > 10−20[10] calculated from measured energy width to 1.21×10−20 s.[11][13]

The types of decay modes are diverse, with electron pair, muon pair, tauon pair decays (all three lepton decays) each occurring at 2.5% frequency.[8]

The short lifetime (τ) is calculable from the usual formula τ ΔE = ħ, so in the subsequent sections, the listing of the lifetimes will be eschewed.

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(2S)

Mass measured at 10.02326±0.00031 GeV/c2.[14]

Here again, decay modes are diverse, decaying into Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S) and charged pion pair, approx. 20% of the time, into Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S) and neutral Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle". pair, approx. 10%, and into lepton (e, μ, τ) pairs, about 2% each.[14]

A B-factory at SLAC's PEP-II accelerator postponed the termination of operation by 2 months to conduct experiments starting February 2008 to generate Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(2S) and Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(3S) (cf. below). While the data remained to be fully analyzed, the team announced in the fall of 2008 that they discovered the spin 0 ground state bottomonium corresponding to the spin 1 Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S) state. The published mass difference with Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(1S) was 71.4+2.3
−3.1 ± 2.7 MeV/c2.[15]

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(3S)

Mass measured at 10.3552±0.0005 GeV/c2[16]

Again, diversely decaying into Υ(2S) + X (such as pion pairs), approx. 10% Υ(1S) + X (such as pion pairs), also lepton (μ, τ) pairs, about 2% apiece, but e+e^ decay is quite rare.[16]

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(4S)

Also called Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(10580) 10.5794±0.0012 GeV/c2[17]。

Nearly completely decays (> 96%) into B meson pairs, almost fifty–fifty between charged pairs and uncharged pairs.[17]

Thus for B meson research, this Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(4S) mode of resonance is of great importance, and its research has been undertaken by various B-factories (up to c. 1999).[18]。

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(10860)

Also called Y(5S).[5] Measured mass of 10.865±0.008 GeV/c2[6]

Main decay mode into B meson pairs only or with 1 or 2 pions, about 60% of the time, and into charm B meson pairs, about 20% of the time.[6]

In this 2008 data report, the strange B meson (Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".) decay is also tentatively reported.[g][6] The energy threshold was also met by Japan's KEKB accelerator whose Belle B factory experiment also contemplated the strange B meson decay.[5] The successes of Y(4S) research has led to the advent of studying Y(5S) at the higher luminosities From around 2008.[5]

Script error: No such module "Subatomic particle".(11020)

Mass measured at 11.019±0.008 GeV/c2.[19]

The decay modes are unclear except a small percentage of electron pair decays, as of 2008.[19]。
