Abstract

Recent results on the QCD analysis of bound states of heavy qˉq\bar{q}q quarks are reviewed, paying attention to what can be derived from the theory with a reasonable degree of rigour. We report a calculation of bˉc\bar{b}c bound states; a very precise evaluation of b,cb, c quark masses from quarkonium spectrum; the NNLO evaluation of Υe+e\Upsilon\to e^+e^-; and a discussion of power corrections. For the bb quark {\sl pole} mass we get, including O(mc2/mb2)O(m_c^2/m_b^2) and O(αs5logαs)O(\alpha_s^5\log \alpha_s) corrections, mb=5.020±0.058GeVm_b=5.020\pm0.058 GeV; and for the MSˉ\bar{MS} mass the result, correct to O(αs3)O(\alpha_s^3), O(mc2/mb2)O(m_c^2/m_b^2), mˉb(mˉb)=4.286±0.036GeV\bar{m}_b(\bar{m}_b)=4.286\pm0.036 GeV. For the decay Υe+e\Upsilon\to e^+e^-, higher corrections are too large to permit a reliable calculation, but we can predict a toponium width of 13±1keV13\pm1 keV.
