Heavy Quarkonium Potential and inclusive decay widths in terms of Wilson loops
We briefly summarize some results obtained by potential NRQCD in the non perturbative regime: 1) a systematic procedure to obtain the heavy quarkonium potential in the 1/m expansion (with explicit expressions up to O(1/m) in terms of Wilson loops), and 2) a description of the heavy quarkonium inclusive decays to light particles, and of the NRQCD matrix elements (also the octet ones), in terms o...
متن کاملNew predictions for inclusive heavy-quarkonium P-wave decays.
We show that some nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics color-octet matrix elements can be written in terms of (derivatives of) wave functions at the origin and of nonperturbative universal constants once the factorization between the soft and ultrasoft scales is achieved by using an effective field theory where only ultrasoft degrees of freedom are kept as dynamical entities. This allows us t...
متن کاملModel Independent Results for Heavy Quarkonium
We review a number of results for the spectrum and inclusive decays of heavy quarkonium systems which can be derived from QCD under well controlled approximations. They essentially follow from the hierarchy of scales in these systems, which can be efficiently exploited using non-relativistic effective field theories. In particular, we discuss under which conditions non-relativistic potential mo...
متن کاملEffective field theories for heavy quarkonium
We review recent theoretical developments in heavy quarkonium physics from the point of view of Effective Field Theories of QCD. We discuss Non-Relativistic QCD and concentrate on potential Non-Relativistic QCD. Our main goal will be to derive QCD Schrödinger-like equations that govern heavy quarkonium physics in the weak and strong coupling regime. We also discuss a selected set of application...
متن کاملSoft, collinear and non-relativistic modes in radiative decays of very heavy quarkonium
We analyze the end-point region of the photon spectrum in semi-inclusive radiative decays of very heavy quarkonium (mαs ≫ ΛQCD). We discuss the interplay of the scales arising in the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory, m, m(1 − z) and m(1 − z) for z close to 1, with the scales of heavy quarkonium systems in the weak coupling regime, m, mαs and mα 2 s . For 1 − z ∼ αs only collinear and (ultra)soft...
