Recently the full O(alpha_S^5 m, alpha_S^5 m log(alpha_S)) correction to the heavy quarkonium 1S energy level has been computed (except the a_3-term in the QCD potential). We point out that the full correction (including the…
We revisit the heavy quarkonium leptonic decays $\psi(nS) \to \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\Upsilon(nS) \to \ell^+\ell^-$ using the Bethe-Salpeter method. The emphasis is on the relativistic correction. For the $\psi(1S-5S)$ decays, the relativistic…
Perturbative series of some quantities in quantum field theories, such as the pole mass of a quark, suffer from a kind of divergence called renormalon divergence. In this paper, the leading renormalon in the pole mass is investigated, and a…
We present a first numerical study of lattice QCD with O(a) improved Wilson quarks and a chirally twisted mass term. Renormalized correlation functions are derived from the Schroedinger functional and evaluated in an intermediate space-time…

Operating just once with the naive Foldy-Wouthuysen-Tani transformation on the relativistic Fermi-Yang equation for $Q\bar q$ bound states described by the semi-relativistic Hamiltonian which includes Coulomb-like as well as confining…
For a class of hindered magnetic dipole ($M1$) transition processes, such as $\Upsilon(3S)\to \eta_b+\gamma$ (the discovery channel of the $\eta_b$ meson), the emitted photon is rather energetic so that the traditional approaches based on…
New double ratios of exponential moments of different two-point functions, which are less sensitive to the heavy quark mass and to the continuum effects than the commonly used ratio of moments, are presented for a more refined analysis of…
Heavy hadrons containing heavy quarks (for example, Upsilon-mesons) feature a scale separation between the heavy quark mass (about 4.5 GeV for the b-quark) and the QCD scale (about 0.3 GeV}) that controls effective masses of lighter…
The bottomonium spectrum is far from being established. The structures of higher vector states, including the $\Upsilon(10580)$, $\Upsilon(10860)$, and $\Upsilon(11020)$ states, are still in dispute. In addition, whether the…
We present a quenched lattice calculation for the lowest lying $b \bar b g$-hybrid states in the framework of NRQCD using the leading order Hamiltonian up to ${\cal O}(mv^2)$. We demonstrate the existence of a nearly degenerate rotational…
We compute the imaginary part of the heavy quark contribution to the photon polarization tensor, i.e. the quarkonium spectral function in the vector channel, at next-to-leading order in thermal QCD. Matching our result, which is valid…
We present high-precision results from lattice QCD for the mass splittings of the low-lying charmonium states. For the valence charm quark, the calculation uses Wilson-clover quarks in the Fermilab interpretation. The gauge-field ensembles…
The heavy quark-antiquark potential is accessible in perturbative QCD and in lattice simulations. The perturbative short-distance part of the potential is contructed via a restricted Fourier transform, covering the momentum region where…
In a previous letter (arXiv:1306.2287) we determined the isospin mass splittings of the baryon octet from a lattice calculation based on quenched QED and $N_f{=}2{+}1$ QCD simulations with 5 lattice spacings down to $0.054~\mathrm{fm}$,…
We construct hyperasymptotic expansions for the heavy quark pole mass regulated using the principal value (PV) prescription. We apply such hyperasymptotic expansions to the $B/D$ meson masses, and $\bar \Lambda $ computed in the lattice.…
We study on the lattice the correlator of heavy-quark currents in the vicinity of vanishing momentum. The renormalized charmed quark mass, the renormalized strong coupling constant and gluon condensate can be defined in terms of the…
We present a comprehensive calculation of the energies, splittings and electromagnetic decay rates of the bottom charmed meson system. Our calculated result for the ground state lifetime is 0.38 \pm 0.03 ps, in good agreement with the…
Using our extension of the quark potential model to hybrid mesons that fits well to the available lattice results, we now calculate the masses, radii, wave functions at origin, leptonic and two photon decay widths, E1 and M1 radiative…
We briefly review how precise determinations of the strong coupling constant and of the heavy quark masses may be obtained from heavy quarkonium. Such determinations are competitive with heavy quark masses extraction from other systems and…
