Abstract

We present an analysis of the processes e+eηϒ(1S), ηϒ(2S), and γXb with Xbπ+πχbJ,χbJγϒ(1S) (J=1, 2) reconstructed from γγπ+π+ (=e,μ) final states in 19.6fb1 of Belle II data collected at four energy points near the peak of the ϒ(10753) resonance. Here, Xb is a hypothetical bottomonium-sector partner of the X(3872). In the process e+eηϒ(2S), we observe a signal with a significance that exceeds 6.0σ when all energy points are combined. A signal with a significance of 4.2σ is observed at a center-of-mass energy of 10.653 GeV, close to the B*B¯* threshold. At this energy, we measure σ(ηϒ(2S))/σ(π+πϒ(2S))>23 at the 90% confidence level, indicating a strong violation of heavy-quark spin symmetry. No significant signal is observed for e+eηϒ(1S) or γXb. Upper limits on the Born cross sections for the processes e+eηϒ(1S) and e+eγXb with Xbπ+πχbJ are determined.
