We examine the total energy E_tot(r) = 2 m_pole + V_QCD(r) of the b\bar b system within perturbative QCD up to O(\alpha_S^3). We extend a previous analysis by incorporating effects of the non-zero charm-quark mass in loops. We find that,…
Within an effective field theory framework we study heavy-quark--antiquark systems with a typical distance between the heavy quark and the antiquark smaller than $1/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. A suitable definition of the potential is given within…
We examine the spectra and radiative decays of the cc-bar and bb-bar systems using a model which incorporates the complete one-loop spin-dependent perturbative QCD short distance potential, a linear confining term including (spin-dependent)…
It had been known that the Borel transforms of the twice quark pole mass 2*mq and of the QCD q-barq static potential V(r) have leading infrared renormalons at b=1/2 such that they cancel in the sum. The renormalon residue of 2*mq had been…
For the heavy quarkonium system we examine ${\cal O}(\Lambda_{\rm QCD}^2/m)$ renormalons, which are expected to be included in the perturbative series of the pole mass and $1/(mr^2)$ interquark potential. We find indications of existence…
We study the energy spectrum of bottomonium in perturbative QCD, taking alpha_s(Mz)=0.1181 +/- 0.0020 as input and fixing m_b^{MSbar}(m_b^{MSbar}) on the Upsilon(1S) mass. Contrary to wide beliefs, perturbative QCD reproduces reasonably…
We investigate the spectroscopy and decays of the charm-strange quarkonium system in a potential model consisting of a relativistic kinetic energy term, a linear confining term including its scalar and vector relativistic corrections and…
This lecture note presents a self-contained introduction to the theory of a heavy quark-antiquark ($Q\bar{Q}$) system in terms of perturbative QCD. The lecture is intended for non-experts, such as graduate course students. The heavy…
This contribution contains the first numerical computation of the complete set of relativistic corrections of relative order $v^{2}$ for electric dipole (E1) transitions in heavy quarkonium; in particular, for the processes $\chi_{bJ}(1P)…
We investigate the spectroscopy and decays of the charmonium and upsilon systems in a potential model consisting of a relativistic kinetic energy term, a linear confining term including its scalar and vector relativistic corrections and the…
We have investigated the spectra of light-heavy quarkonia with the use of a quantum-chromodynamic potential model which is similar to that used earlier for the heavy quarkonia. An essential feature of our treatment is the inclusion of the…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
Recently evidence has been found that the perturbative QCD potential agrees well with phenomenological potentials and lattice computations of the QCD potential. We review the present status of the perturbative QCD potential and theoretical…
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…
We extract MSbar quark masses mqbar (q=b,c) from the evaluation of the masses of quarkonia Upsilon(1S) and J/\psi(1S), performed in two analytic QCD models, and in perturbative QCD in two renormalization schemes. In analytic QCD the running…
We extend our treatment of the the spectroscopy and decays of the charm-strange quarkonium system to include the effect of using the full three-loop QCD correction to the static short distance potential. As before, our potential model…
A systematic study of a wide class of nonrelativistic models of $b\overline{b}$ quarkonia is described. It is found that the potential $V(r) = 0.706380(\sqrt{r} - \frac{0.460442}{r}) + 8.81715$ (all in GeV) with the $b$-quark mass $m_b =…
We study the spectra of the bottomonium and B_c states within perturbative QCD up to order alpha_s^4. The O(Lambda_QCD) renormalon cancellation between the static potential and the pole mass is performed in the epsilon-expansion scheme. We…
An introduction to the recent developments in perturbative heavy quarkonium physics is given. Covered are the effective theories NRQCD, pNRQCD and vNRQCD, the threshold expansion, the role of renormalons, and applications to bottom and top…
The spectra and decay rates of $c \bar c$ and $b \bar b$ levels are well described, for the most part, by a power-law potential of the form $V(r)=\lambda(r^{\alpha}-1)/\alpha+{\rm const.}$, where $\alpha\simeq 0$. The results of an…
