Abstract

We report on a recent computation of the transitions of exotic bottomonium to standard bottomonium and light quark hadrons. We work under the assumption that the ϓ(10753) and ϓ(11020) can be described as the lowest laying and first excitation 1^{− −} hybrid bottomonium states, respectively. The computation has two distinct parts: the heavy quark transition matrix elements, which are obtained in a nonrelativistic EFT incorporating the heavy quark, multipole and adiabatic expansions; and the hadronization of the gluonic operators into the light-meson final states. The single mesons production is obtained through the axial anomaly and a standard π⁰ - η - ηʹ mixing scheme. Two pion and kaon production is obtained by solving the coupled Omnès problem. We also present result for semi-inclusive transitions.
