Spectra of the transitions Υ(nS)→Υ(mS)π+π

Abstract
The spectra of the transitions Υ(nS)→Υ(mS)π+ π are discussed, taking account of multipole-expansion corrections as well as of final-state π+ π and Υπ interactions. The inclusion of a four-quark resonance in the Υπ channel, as suggested by Voloshin, together with π+ π final-state interactions, may explain the presence of two peaks in the Υ(3S)→Υ(1S)π+ π spectrum. Further tests of this model are proposed.
