Production of the bottomonium-like states $Z_b$ states at $e$-$h$ and ultraperipheral $h$-$h$ collisions

Abstract

The photoproduction of bottomonium-like states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ via $\gamma p$ scattering is studied within an effectiv Lagrangian approach and the vector-meson-dominance model. The Regge model is employed to calculate the photoproduction of $Z_b$ states via $t$-channel with $\pi$ exchange.The numerical results show that the values of the total cross-sections of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ can reach 0.09 nb and 0.02 nb, respectively, near the center of mass energy of 22 GeV. The experimental measurements and studies on the photoproduction of $Z_b$ states near energy region around $W\simeq 22$ GeV is suggested. Moreover, with the help of eSTARlight and STARlight programs, one obtains the cross-sections and event numbers of $Z_b(10610)$ production in electron-ion collision (EIC) and Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs). The results show that a considerable number of events from $Z_b(10610)$ can be produced on the relevant experiments of EICs and UPCs. Also, one calculates the rates and kinematic distributions for $\gamma p\to Z_{b}n$ in $ep$ and $pA$ collisions via EICs and UPCs, and the relevant results will provide an important reference for the RHIC, LHC, EIC-US, LHeC, and FCC experiments to search for the bottomonium-like $Z_b$ states.
