We analyze the overlap of color-octet meson operators with the $\Upsilon$ and the $\eta_b$ and their excited states, especially the first radial excitations. Our analysis is based on NRQCD and includes all terms up to order $v^4$. We use a…
We give a preliminary report on the hadron spectrum on an ensemble of quenched lattices at $\beta$ values of 6.0, 6.2 and 6.4, using staggered fermions and collaborators Rajan Gupta and Steve Sharpe. Because of the relatively small number…
The mass spectrum of S and P-wave mesons containing a single heavy quark has been computed using quenched lattice nonrelativistic QCD. Numerical results have been obtained at first, second and third order in the heavy quark expansion, so…
We analyze the end-point region of the photon spectrum in semi-inclusive radiative decays of very heavy quarkonium (m alpha_s^2 >> Lambda_QCD). The S- and P-wave octet shape functions are calculated. When they are included in the analysis…
We report new aspects of the recent theoretical progress in heavy quarkonium physics. (1) Contrary to wide beliefs, the gross structure of the bottomonium spectrum is described well by the non-relativistic boundstate theory based on…
I review our qualitative understanding of the increase in the value of the B meson decay constant (fB), when dynamical fermions are included in lattice QCD calculations.
In this contribution, we briefly analyze the formalism of the unquenched quark model (UQM) and its application to the description of several observables of hadrons. In the UQM, the effects of $q \bar q$ sea pairs are introduced explicitly…
We present an analysis of the mass spectrum of heavy quarkonia with non-degenerate quark masses. The heavier (bottom) valence quark is treated in a non-relativistic fashion and the other (charm) is a relativistic Wilson-like quark using the…
We study the bottomonium spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark model with the coupled-channel effects. The mass shifts and valence $b\bar{b}$ component are evaluated to be rather large. We find that the hadronic loop effects can be…
We calculate the masses and leptonic decay widths of the bottomonium $b\bar b$ and charmonium $c\bar c$ states in a constituent quark model where the Cornell-like potential and spin-dependent interaction are employed, with all model…
We present a theoretical prediction for the photon spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay. Parts of the spectrum have already been understood, but an understanding of the endpoint region has remained elusive. In this paper we provide the…
The low-lying spectrum of the quark model is shown to be robust under the effects of `unquenching'. In contrast, the use of screened potentials is shown to be of limited use in models of hadrons. Applications to unquenching the lattice…
Recent lattice QCD calculations suggest a rather abrupt transition in the confinig potential from a linear to a constant behavior. We analyze the effects of such a fast deconfinement in the simplest non-relativistic system, bottomonium.
We present the finite temperature spectra of both bottomonium and charmonium, obtained from a consistent lattice QCD based potential picture. Starting point is the complex in-medium potential extracted on full QCD lattices with dynamical…
We present results on the bottomonium spectrum at temperatures above and below the deconfinement crossover temperature, $T_c$, from dynamical lattice QCD simulations. The heavy quark is treated with a non-relativistic effective field theory…
The status of lattice determinations of quarkonia and hybrid meson spectra is presented and compared with experiment. Both quenched and unquenched results are discussed. Hybrid meson decays are considered.
The charmonium (bottomonim) binding at finite temperature is studied with static potentials extracted from the lattice QCD data of Kaczmarek et al. The bottomonium spectrum is also studied. This is relevant for Hard Probes in Heavy Ion…
We present results for the spectrum of b-bbar bound states in the quenched approximation for three different values of the lattice spacing, in the range 0.05fm to 0.15fm. We find our results for spin-independent splittings in physical units…
In this note we calculate the spectrum of two-dimensional QCD. We formulate the theory with SU(N_c) currents rather than with fermionic operators. We construct the Hamiltonian matrix in DLCQ formulation as a function of the harmonic…
We study the ground state and next radial excitation of the $a_1$ mesons from a quenched lattice QCD simulation with the truncated overlap fermions formalism based on domain wall fermions. Our results are consistent with the experimental…
