The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is widely used to model molecular electrostatics; however, it is usually solved in linearised form because the sinh nonlinearity is challenging, limiting its applicability in highly charged systems such as…

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…
In the framework of nonrelativistic QCD, we study the radiative decays of bottomonia into charmonia, including $\Upsilon\to \chi_{cJ}\gamma$, $\Upsilon\to \eta_c\gamma$, $\eta_b\to J/\psi\gamma$, and $\chi_{bJ}\to J/\psi\gamma$. We give…
We study the decay modes of a new, light spin-0 particle, arguing that if the mass of the (pseudo)scalar is ~11-15 GeV, it can have an appreciable branching ratio into bottomonium, in particular the rare eta's. Using non-relativistic QCD…
