Abstract

We searched for η b via hindered M1 transitions Υ(3 S ) [arrow right] γη b and Υ(2 S ) [arrow right] γη b using CLEO-II data. No significant evidence for such transitions was found, and we set upper limits on the corresponding branching ratios that contradict many phenomenological estimates for the rates of these transitions.
