Bottomonium-like states: physics case for energy scan above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold at Belle-II

Abstract

The Belle-II experiment is expected to collect large data samples at the ${\rm Y}(4S)$ and ${\rm Y}(5S)$ resonances to study primarily $B$ and $B_s$ mesons. We discuss what other data above the $B\bar{B}$ threshold are of interest. We propose to perform a high-statistics energy scan from the $B\bar{B}$ threshold up to the highest possible energy, and to collect data at the ${\rm Y}(6S)$ and at higher mass states if they are found in the scan. We emphasize the interest in increasing the maximal energy from 11.24\,GeV to 11.5 - 12\,GeV in the future. These data are needed for investigation of bottomonium and bottomonium-like states.
