Abstract

Using e⁺e^- collision data corresponding to 5.88×10⁶γ(3S) [25.9×10⁶ψ(2S)] decays and acquired by the CLEO III [CLEO-c] detectors operating at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, we study the single-pion transitions from γ(3S)[ψ(2S)] to the respective spin-singlet states h_b[c]. Utilizing only the momentum of suitably selected transition-π⁰ candidates, we obtain the upper limit B(γ(3S)→π⁰h _b)<1.2×10^-3 at 90% confidence level, and measure B(ψ(2S)→π⁰h_c)=(9.0±1.5±1.3) ×10^-4. Signal sensitivities are enhanced by excluding very asymmetric π⁰→γγ candidates.
