We present a sum-rule extraction of heavy-meson decay constants from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents. Our main concern is to control the uncertainties of the decay constants, induced by both input QCD…
I provide a calculation at full two-loop order of the complex pole squared mass of the W boson in the Standard Model in the pure MS-bar renormalization scheme, with Goldstone boson mass effects resummed. This approach is an alternative to…
We compute for the first time the suppression of bottomonia in a strongly coupled QGP and compare the results to those from a weakly coupled QGP. Using imaginary time techniques we numerically determine the real and imaginary parts of the…
We search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decays B->K(*)nu nubar, and the invisible decays J/psi->nu nubar and psi(2S)->nu nubar via B->K(*)J/psi and B->K(*)psi(2S) respectively, using a data sample of 471 x10^6 BB pairs collected…
We propose a new method to extract the light quark mass ratio $m_u/m_d$ using the $\Upsilon(4S)\to h_b\pi^0(\eta)$ bottomonia transitions. The decay amplitudes are dominated by the light quark mass differences, and the corrections from…
We determine the quark masses and the chiral condensate in the MSbar scheme at NNLO from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at beta=6.0, beta=6.2 and beta=6.4 using both the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermion…
We report a measurement of the production ratio of charged and neutral B mesons from Upsilon(4S) decays based on the ratio of efficiency-corrected yields for the charmonium modes J/psi K^+ and J/psi K^{0}_{S} with 81.9 fb^-1 of data…
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…
Accurate determinations of the MS-bar b-quark mass $m_b(m_b)$ from $\sigma(e^+e^-\to{\rm hadrons})$ experimental data currently contain three comparable sources of uncertainty; the experimental uncertainty from moments of this…
We report the first observation of the radiative transition h_b(1P)->eta_b(1S)gamma, where the h_b(1P) is produced in Upsilon(5S)->h_b(1P)pi+pi- dipion transitions. We measure the eta_b(1S) mass to be (9401.0+-1.9+1.4-2.4)MeV/c^2 with a…
We sum up the next-to-leading logarithmic corrections to the heavy-quarkonium hyperfine splitting using the nonrelativistic renormalization group. On the basis of this result, we predict the mass of the $\eta_b$ meson to be $M(\eta_b)=9419…
We consider the properties of the ground state of bottomium. The $\Upsilon$ mass is evaluated to two loops, and including leading higher order [$O(\alpha_s^5\log\alpha_s)$] and $m_c^2/m_b^2$ corrections. This allows us to present updated…
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 compute the QGP suppression of Upsilon(1s), Upsilon(2s), Upsilon(3s), chi_b1, and chi_b2 states in sqrt(s_NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions. Using the suppression of each of these states, we estimate the inclusive R_AA for the Upsilon(1s)…
We calculate the dissociation and recombination rates of $\Upsilon(1S)$ in quark-gluon plasma by using potential non-relativistic QCD. We then study the dynamical in-medium evolution of the $b\bar{b}-\Upsilon$ system in a periodic box via…
A detailed compilation of uncertainties in the MSbar bottom quark mass m_b(m_b) obtained from low-n spectral sum rules at order alpha_s^2 is given including charm mass effects and secondary b production. The experimental continuum region…
Infrared power corrections for Minkowskian QCD observables are analyzed in the framework of renormalon resummation, motivated by analogy with the skeleton expansion in QED and the BLM approach. Performing the ``massive gluon'' renormalon…
