The hyperfine splitting for the 2S charmonium state is calculated and the predicted number is $\Delta_{\rm HF}(2S) = 57 \pm 8$ MeV, being by derivation the lower bound of this splitting. It results in $M(\eta_c(2S))= 3630 \pm 8$ MeV, which…

The mass of the eta_b(1S), measured recently by BABAR, is significantly lower than expected from QCD predictions for the Upsilon(1S) - eta_b(1S) hyperfine splitting. We suggest that the observed eta_b(1S) mass is shifted downwards due to a…
