Abstract

The non-perturbative nature of QCD at hadronic scales implied the development of phenomenological approaches such as quark models or, more recently, computer-based calculations using Lattice QCD. However, the unique properties of heavy quarkonium systems allow an entire calculation in terms of non-relativistic perturbative QCD. In this work, the bottomonium spectrum, up to n=3n = 3, and the ground state charmonium states, are analyzed in the framework of Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics at N3^3LO. For bottomonium, finite charm quark mass effects in the QCD potential and the MS\overline{MS}-pole mass relation are incorporated to the highest known order, O(ε3)\mathcal{O}(\varepsilon^3) in the Υ\Upsilon-scheme counting. The bottom quark pole mass is expressed in terms of the MSR mass, a low-scale short-distance mass which cancels the u=1/2u = 1/2 renormalon of the static potential. We study the n=3n_\ell = 3 and n=4n_\ell = 4 schemes, finding a negligible difference between the two if finite mcm_c effects are smoothly incorporated in the MSR mass definition. We find that bottomonium n=3n=3 states are not well behaved within perturbative NRQCD. Hence, fitting to the n=1,2n=1,2 bbˉb\bar b states we obtain mb(mb)=4.216±0.039\overline{m}_b(\overline{m}_b) = 4.216\pm 0.039 GeV. Similarly, from the lowest lying charmonium states we find mc(mc)=1.273±0.054\overline{m}_c(\overline{m}_c)=1.273 \pm 0.054 GeV.
