The Spectrum from Lattice NRQCD

Abstract

I review recent results for heavy-heavy spectroscopy using Lattice NRQCD. The NRQCD collaboration reports that spin-independent splittings for the Υ\Upsilon are scaling for a sensible range of β\beta values in the quenched approximation. Spin-dependent splittings are not, if the scale is set by spin-independent splittings. Results which include higher order spin-dependent relativistic and discretisation corrections show differences from previous (NRQCD collaboration) results without these. As expected, the differences are small for Υ\Upsilon but rather large for charmonium. New results from the SESAM collaboration for Υ\Upsilon spectroscopy on configurations with Wilson dynamical fermions show good agreement with previous results on HEMCGC configurations with staggered dynamical fermions.
