Evidence for the ηb(1S) Meson in Radiative Υ(2S) Decay

We have performed a search for the η b ( 1 S ) meson in the radiative decay of the Υ ( 2 S ) resonance using a sample of 91.6 × 10 6 Υ ( 2 S ) events recorded with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II B factory at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. We observe a peak in the photon energy spectrum...
