Heavy Quarkonia Results from CLEO

چکیده
Heavy quarkonium cc̄ (cc̄ charmonium, bb̄ bottomonium) provides the best means of testing QCD, both the validity of perturbative QCD and potential models, and lattice QCD calculations. Bottomonium is better than charmonium, both because it has smaller relativistic problems (< v/c >≈ 0.1 versus ≈ 0.2) and smaller coupling constant (α ≈ 0.2 versus ≈ 0.35), but much less high precision spectroscopic information is available for bottomonium. No bb̄ singlet states are known, and very few hadronic and radiative decays are known. Nevertheless, progress is being made through recently taken Υ(nS) data with CLEO III with much larger luminosity than before, the event counts being Υ(1S) ∼ 20 million, Υ(2S) ∼ 10 million, and Υ(3S) ∼ 50 million. With the beginning of the CLEO-c program, interesting new results are also being produced in the charmonium region, ψ(2S) ∼ 3 million. I will now review some of the most recent results, first in bottomonium spectroscopy, and then in charmonium spectroscopy.

متن کاملCLEO-c Confronts High Precision Lattice QCD
We discuss new results and upcoming measurements by the CLEO-c collaboration, on decays of heavy quark mesons and on the properties of heavy quarkonia. In particular, we emphasize those measurements which are just now becoming calculable in unquenched Quantum ChromoDynam-ics (QCD) on the lattice. Our ultimate goal is to provide a testing ground for recent approaches to " high precision " Lattic...
متن کاملHeavy Quarkonia Spectroscopy and Decays
The experimental status of stable bound states made out of heavy quarks is reviewed. The need for a way to deal with the non-perturbative transitions involved calls for precision measurements on one hand, and for discovery of as yet undetected states to confirm predictions on the other. In this article, recent experimental contributions to heavy quarkonia spectroscopy and decay will be reviewed...
متن کاملTypeset Using Revt E X
Inclusive production of cJ in e + e ? annihilation is an excellent probe of the role of higher Fock states in the production of heavy quarkonia. Within the non-relativistic QCD approach, contributions from the short-distance production of colour-octet c c pairs are signiicantly larger than those from colour-singlet production. At the same time, cJ production rates are signiicantly smaller than ...
