Search for $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \eta_b$ in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at LEP2

A search for the pseudoscalar meson eta_b is performed in two-photon interactions at LEP~2 with an integrated luminosity of 699 pb^-1 collected at e+e- centre-of-mass energies from 181 GeV to 209 GeV. One candidate event is found in the six-charged-particle final state and none in the four-charged-p...

Sumario:A search for the pseudoscalar meson eta_b is performed in two-photon interactions at LEP~2 with an integrated luminosity of 699 pb^-1 collected at e+e- centre-of-mass energies from 181 GeV to 209 GeV. One candidate event is found in the six-charged-particle final state and none in the four-charged-particle final state, in agreement with the total expected background of about one event. Upper limits of Gamma_gammagamma(eta_b) * BR(eta_b -> 4 charged particles) < 48 eV Gamma_gammagamma(eta_b) * BR(eta_b -> 6 charged particles) < 132 eV are obtained at 95\% confidence level, which correspond to 95\% confidence level upper limits of $9.0\%$ and $25\%$ on these branching ratios.
