The spectrum of baryons containing three b quarks is calculated in nonperturbative QCD, using the lattice regularization. The energies of ten excited bbb states with J^P = 1/2^+, 3/2^+, 5/2^+, 7/2^+, 1/2^-, and 3/2^- are determined with…

We determine the energies of the excited states of a heavy-light meson $Q\bar{q}$, with a static heavy quark and light quark with mass approximately that of the strange quark from both quenched lattices and with dynamical fermions. We are…

We give results for the $B$ and the $D$ meson spectrum using NRQCD on the lattice in the quenched approximation. The masses of radially and orbitally excited states are calculated as well as $S$-wave hyperfine and $P$-wave fine structure.…

We interpret the spectrum of meson states recently obtained in non-perturbative lattice QCD calculations in terms of constituent quark-antiquark bound states and states, called `hybrids', in which the qqbar pair is supplemented by an…

We explore the effect of higher order operators in the non-relativistic formulation of QCD (NRQCD). We calculated masses in the b \bar b spectrum using quenched gauge configurations at beta = 6.0 and two different NRQCD actions which have…

The ground and first excited states of the hybrid charmonium ${\bar c} c g$, with non-exotic quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$, $1^{--}$ and $1^{++}$ are investigated using quenched lattice QCD. They are completely ignored in the literature,…

We report on the calculation of the Quarkonium Hybrid masses for the $cg\bar{c}$, $bg\bar{c}$ and $bg\bar{b}$ systems~\cite{hbrpaper}. A QCD analog of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation including the $\Lambda$--doubling terms has been used.…

Lattice NRQCD has proven successful in describing the physics of the upsilon system and B-mesons, though some concerns arise when it is used in simulations of charm quarks. It is certainly possible that the NRQCD expansion is not converging…

We update our results for the heavy-heavy spectrum at $\beta$ = 5.7, using NRQCD. This includes a scaling comparison with the $\Upsilon$ spectrum at $\beta$ = 6.0 and first lattice predictions for the $B_c$ spectrum.

We employ a nonrelativistic version of QCD (NRQCD) to study heavy quark-antiquark bound states in the lowest approximation without fine structure. We use gluon configurations on a 16^3 by 48 lattice at beta=6.2 from the UKQCD collaboration.…

This is a follow-up to our earlier work on the energies and radial distributions of heavy-light mesons. The heavy quark is taken to be static (infinitely heavy) and the light quark has a mass about that of the strange quark. We now…

We present a spectrum of highly excited charmonium mesons up to around 4.5 GeV calculated using dynamical lattice QCD. Employing novel computational techniques and the variational method with a large basis of carefully constructed…

We use $n_f=2+1$ Wilson-clover gauge-field ensembles from the CLS consortium in a Lattice NRQCD setup to predict the binding energy of a $I(J^P)=0(1^+)$ $ud\bar{b}\bar{b}$ tetraquark and a $\frac{1}{2}(1^+)$ $\ell s\bar{b}\bar{b}$…

Combining the quark model, the quark-pair-creation mechanism and $B^{(*)}\bar K$ interaction, we have investigated the near-threshold $P$-wave $B_s$ states in the framework of the Hamiltonian effective field theory. With the heavy quark…

We continue our study of heavy-light four-quark states and find evidence from lattice QCD for the existence of a strong-interaction-stable $I(J^P)=0(1^+)$ $ud\bar{c}\bar{b}$ tetraquark with mass in the range of 15 to 61 MeV below…

We present results for the spectrum of b-bbar bound states in the quenched approximation for three different values of the lattice spacing. Results for spin-independent splittings are shown to have good scaling behaviour; spin-dependent…

Non-relativistic QCD is applied for a lattice computation of the heavy-light meson decay constant in quenched approximation at $\beta=6.0$. Clear signals are obtained for the ground state at large times in the correlators, allowing a…

We present a lattice calculation of the B meson B-parameter B_B using the NRQCD action. The heavy quark mass dependence is explicitly studied over a mass range between m_b and 4m_b with the $O(1/m_Q)$ and $O(1/m_Q^2)$ actions. We find that…

Besides the conventional hadrons containing valence quarks and valence antiquarks, quantum chromodynamics (QCD) suggests the existence of the hybrid hadrons containing valence gluons in addition to the quarks and antiquarks, and some…
