During an energy scan at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, with use of the Columbia University-Stony Brook NaI detector, an enhancement in σ(e+e−→hadrons) is observed at center-of-mass energy ∼10.55 GeV. The mass and leptonic width of this state (ϒ′′′) suggest that it is the 4S13 bound state of the b quark and its antiquark. After applying to the data a cut in a (pseudo) thrust variable, the natural width is measured to be Γ=12.6±6.0 MeV, indicating that the ϒ′′′ is above the threshold for BB¯ production.

The ϒ, ϒ′, and ϒ′′ states have been observed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring as narrow peaks in σ(e+e−→hadrons) versus beam energy. Data were collected during a run with integrated luminosity of 1000 nb−1, using the Columbia University-Stony Brook segmented NaI detector. The measured mass differences are M(ϒ′)−M(ϒ)=559±1(±3) MeV and M(ϒ′′)−M(ϒ)=889±1(±5) MeV, where the errors in parentheses represent systematic uncertainties. Preliminary values for the leptonic width ratios were also obtained.
