Abstract

We revise the analysis of the bottomonium hyperfine splitting within the lattice nonrelativistic QCD. The Wilson coefficients of the radiatively improved lattice action are evaluated by a semianalytic approach based on the asymptotic expansion about the continuum limit. The nonrelativistic renormalization group is used to estimate the high-order radiative corrections. Our result for the 1S1S hyperfine splitting is MΥ(1S)Mηb(1S)=52.9±5.5 MeVM_{\Upsilon(1S)}-M_{\eta_b(1S)}=52.9\pm 5.5~{\rm MeV}. It reconciles the predictions of the continuum and lattice QCD and is in very good agreement with the most accurate experimental measurement by Belle collaboration.
