At the upper endpoint of the photon energy spectrum in Upsilon -> X gamma, the standard NRQCD power counting breaks down and the OPE gives rise to color-octet structure functions. Furthermore, in this kinematic regime large Sudakov…
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 present a theoretical prediction for the photon spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay including the effects of resumming the endpoint region, E_\gamma -> M_\Upsilon/2. Our approach is based on NRQCD and the soft collinear effective theory.…
We study exclusive radiative decays of the $\Upsilon$ using soft-collinear effective theory and non-relativistic QCD. In contrast to inclusive radiative decays at the endpoint we find that color-octet contributions are power suppressed in…
We investigate the effects of colour-octet contributions to the radiative $\Upsilon$ decay within the Bodwin, Braaten and Lepage NRQCD factorization framework. Photons coming both from the coupling to hard processes (`direct') and by…

Non-relativistic QCD (NRQCD) predicts colour octet contributions to be significant not only in many production processes of heavy quarkonia but also in their radiative decays. We investigate the photon energy distributions in these…

We study the evolution of flavor-singlet, light-cone amplitudes in the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), and reproduce results previously obtained by a different approach. We apply our calculation to the color-singlet contribution to…
A recent study indicates that the $\alpha^2\alpha_s^2$ order QED processes of $\Upsilon \to \jpsi + X$ decay are compatible with those of QCD processes. However, in the endpoint region, the Non-relativistic QED (NRQED) calculation breaks…
Recent observations of the J/psi spectrum produced in e^+e^- collisions at the Upsilon(4S) resonance are in conflict with fixed-order calculations using Non-Relativsitic QCD effective theory (NRQCD). One problem is an enhancement in the…
