Abstract

Within the nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD) factorization framework, we compute the order-αs3\alpha_s^3 perturbative corrections to the leptonic decay of the Υ\Upsilon and J/ψJ/\psi with high numerical accuracy, at the lowest order in velocity expansion. We confirm the existing three-loop results in literature. Furthermore, we explicitly consider the complex-valued light-by-light (singlet) contributions. We for the first time also consider the finite charm quark mass effect for Υ\Upsilon leptonic decay, and obtain a new piece of 3-loop contribution to the anomalous dimension related to the composite NRQCD bilinear of vector current that arises from the nonzero charm quark mass. Based on the complete three-loop NRQCD short-distance coefficients, we also present a comprehensive phenomenological analysis for Υ(J/ψ)\Upsilon(J/\psi) leptonic width.
