A comment on requirements arising from doing bottomonium physics with SuperB: It can be very useful to this program to be able to "tag" the creation of bottomium resonances, e.g., Y(1S), in the pi-pi, pi0-pi0, and gamma-gamma decays of higher states, e.g., Y(3S) -> pi+ pi- Y(1S). If this is to be done in a way that allows an unbiased study of the lower state's decays, such as a search for invisible decays of the Y(1S), it is necessary to be able to trigger on the transition particles (e.g., pi+ pi-) alone. In BaBar this proved possible, but placed real strains on the trigger and DAQ. It may be useful to use at least one or two of these transition decays as reference challenges for the SuperB trigger design. Similar issues would arise in the charmonium sector if such tagging were to prove useful to the physics goals. Gregory Dubois-Felsmann
