Abstract

We compute the hyperfine splitting in a heavy quarkonium composed of different flavors in next-to-leading logarithmic approximation using the nonrelativistic renormalization group. We predict the mass difference of the vector and pseudoscalar charm-bottom mesons to be M(Bc)M(Bc)=46±15(th)11+13(δαs)M(B^*_c)-M(B_c)=46 \pm 15 {(\rm th)} {}^{+13}_{-11} (\delta\alpha_s) MeV.
