Abstract

The data for 9.3 million Υ(2S) and 20.9 million Υ(1S) taken with the CLEO III detector have been used to study the radiative population of ηb(2S, 1S) states identified by their decay into twenty six different exclusive hadronic final states. In the Υ(2S) decays an enhancement is observed at a ∼ 5σ level, which is attributed to ηb(2S) and corresponds to the Υ(2S) hyperfine splitting of 48.7±2.3(stat)±2.1(syst) MeV. In the Υ(1S) decays, the identification of ηb(1S) is confirmed at a ∼ 3σ level with M(ηb(1S)) in agreement with its known value.
