The standard NRQCD power counting breaks down and the OPE gives rise to color-octet shape functions at the upper endpoint of the photon energy spectrum in radiative Upsilon decay. Also in this kinematic regime, large Sudakov logarithms…
We study radiative decays of $\Upsilon$ to light quark jets in nonrelativistic QCD by taking both the color singlet and color octet $b\bar b$ operators into consideration. The cut for quark jet energy and cut for the angle between two quark…
We report on a study of exclusive radiative decays of the Upsilon(1S) resonance into a final state consisting of a photon and two K0s candidates. We find evidence for a signal for Upsilon(1S)->gamma f_2'(1525); f_2'(1525)->K0sK0s, at a rate…

Recent observations of the spectrum of J/psi produced in e+ e- collisions at the Upsilon(4S) resonance are in conflict with fixed-order calculations using the Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) effective field theory. One problem is that leading…
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…
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…
