Υ-spectrum from NRQCD with Improved Action
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore the effect of higher order operators in the non-relativistic formulation of QCD (NRQCD). We calculated masses in the bb̄-spectrum using quenched gauge configurations at β = 6.0 and two different NRQCD actions which have been corrected to order mv and mv. The two-point functions are calculated in a gauge invariant fashion. We find the general structure of the spectrum to be the same in the two cases. Using the 1P̄ − 13S1 splitting we determine the inverse lattice spacings to be 2.44(4) GeV and 2.44(5) GeV for the mv and mv actions, respectively. We do observe shifts in the spin splittings. The hyperfine splitting is reduced by approximately 4 MeV, while the fine splitting is down by up to 10 MeV, albeit with large statistical errors.

We present preliminary results for the Υ spectrum on an anisotropic lattice using the improved O(mv 6) NRQCD Hamiltonian. We find that accurate results can be obtained in moderate computer times and that they agree with earlier results on an isotropic lattice. 1. The anisotropic lattice On an anisotropic lattice an improved action is used in which the coupling in the " time " direction is tuned...
متن کاملPrecision Scale Determination from the Upsilon Spectrum
We determine the radial excitation energy (2S-1S splitting)in the Upsilon spectrum using NRQCD b quarks on MILC configurations. We have statistical fitting errors of around 1% across a range of lattice spacing values using random wall sources, and this allows us to give improved determinations of the physical value of the heavy quark potential parameter r1. We also show improved results for the...
متن کاملBottom and Charm quark masses from lattice NRQCD
The Υ(bb) and ψ(cc) systems possess several properties which permit accurate lattice simulations. They are physically small, allowing the use of small volumes. They are insensitive to the presence of light quarks and to uncertainties in their masses. They are well understood phenomenologically, which aids in the estimation of systematic errors. Their spin-averaged mass splittings are insensitiv...

In this talk I present the results of two calculations that make use of Non-Relativistic QCD and the newly developed Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. The first process considered is inclusive radiative Υ decay. The second process considered is the leading color-octet contribution to e+e− → J/ψ + X . Bound states of heavy quarks and antiquarks have been of great interest since the discovery of t...
متن کاملRecent Results on Quarkonium Production and Decay
Since its formulation, the NRQCD factorization approach has enjoyed a number of successes in predicting inclusive decay rates and production cross sections for quarkonium states. The initial success of the NRQCD factorization method was in the computation of infrared-finite predictions for the inclusive decay rates of P -wave quarkonium states. A subsequent global fit to the P -wave charmonium ...
