Abstract: (APS)
We report results on studies of the e+e− annihilation into three-body ϒ(nS)π+π− (n=1,2,3) final states including measurements of cross sections and the full amplitude analysis. The cross sections measured at s=10.866  GeV and corrected for the initial state radiation are σ(e+e−→ϒ(1S)π+π−)=(2.27±0.12±0.14)  pb, σ(e+e−→ϒ(2S)π+π−)=(4.07±0.16±0.45)  pb, and σ(e+e−→ϒ(3S)π+π−)=(1.46±0.09±0.16)  pb. Amplitude analysis of the three-body ϒ(nS)π+π− final states strongly favors IG(JP)=1+(1+) quantum-number assignments for the two bottomonium-like Zb± states, recently observed in the ϒ(nS)π± and hb(mP)π± (m=1,2) decay channels. The results are obtained with a 121.4  fb−1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e− collider.
