We review recent results on bottomonium(-like) states from e+e- colliders. They include energy scan of the e+e- annihilation cross sections into (nS)π+ π- and hb(nP)π+π- final states, studies of ...transitions from (4S) resonance with emission of η meson and update of (5S) → B(*)π analysis from Belle.

The state of art of the Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM's)—their features, possibilities and applications—is given. The significant progress of this novel technique of photo detection is described and ...discussed.
We present the first model-independent measurement of the CKM unitarity triangle angle ϕ3 using B±→ D(KS0\ {K}_{\mathrm{S}}^0 \π+π−π0) K± decays, where D indicates either a D0 or D¯\ \overline{D} \0 ...meson. Measurements of the strong-phase difference of the D →KS0\ {K}_{\mathrm{S}}^0 \π+π−π0 amplitude obtained from CLEO-c data are used as input. This analysis is based on the full Belle data set of 772 × 106BB¯\ \overline{B} \ events collected at the Υ(4S) resonance. We obtain ϕ3 = (5.7−8.8+10.2\ {5.7}_{-8.8}^{+10.2} \±3.5±5.7)° and the suppressed amplitude ratio rB = 0.323±0.147±0.023±0.051. Here the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is the experimental systematic, and the third is due to the precision of the strong-phase parameters measured from CLEO-c data. The 95% confidence interval on ϕ3 is (−29.7, 109.5)°, which is consistent with the current world average.
Using 605 fb(-1) of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance we present a measurement of the inclusive radiative B-meson decay channel, B-->X(s)gamma. For the lower photon energy thresholds of ...1.7, 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0 GeV, as defined in the rest frame of the B meson, we measure the partial branching fraction and the mean and variance of the photon energy spectrum. At the 1.7 GeV threshold we obtain the partial branching fraction BF(B-->X(s)}gamma)=(3.45+/-0.15+/-0.40)x10(-4), where the errors are statistical and systematic.
In the last decade many states in the spectrum of charmonium and bottomonium have been observed experimentally above the lowest open-flavour threshold. Most of these states reside in the vicinity of ...strong thresholds and show properties that cannot be captured by simple quark models. Description and understanding of such exotic states is a challenge for the phenomenology of strong interactions, since it requires building adequate theoretical tools and approaches. In this work, a practical parametrisation for the line shapes of near threshold resonance(s) is derived in the framework of a coupled-channel model which includes an arbitrary number of elastic and inelastic channels as well as of bare pole terms. Parameters of the distribution have a direct relation to phenomenology and the resulting analytical parametrisation is therefore ideally suited to harvest the full information content provided by the measurements and to establish a link between the experimental data and their theoretical interpretation.
