We compute the third-order correction to electromagnetic S-wave quarkonium production and annihilation rates due to the emission and absorption of an ultrasoft gluon. Our result completes the analysis of the non-relativistic quarkonium bound-state dynamics in the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. The impact of the ultrasoft correction on the Upsilon(1S) leptonic width and the top quark-antiquark threshold production cross section is estimated.

We compute the third-order correction to the heavy-quark current correlation function due to the emission and absorption of an ultrasoft gluon. Our result supplies a missing contribution to top-quark pair production near threshold and the determination of the bottom quark mass from QCD sum rules.
Starting from a molecular picture for the X(3872) resonance, this state and its J^{PC}=2++ HQSS partner [X2(4012)] are analyzed within a model which incorporates possible mixings with 2P charmonium states. Since it is reasonable to expect the bare chi_{c1}(2P) to be located above the Dbar D* threshold, but relatively close to it, the presence of the charmonium state provides an effective attraction that will contribute to bind the X(3872), but it will not appear in the 2++ sector. Indeed in this latter sector, the chi_{c2}(2P) should provide an effective small repulsion, because it is placed well below the D*bar D* threshold. We show how the 1++ and 2++ bare charmonium poles are modified due to the D(*)bar D(*) loop effects, and the first one is moved to the complex plane. The meson loops produce, besides some shifts in the masses of the charmonia, a finite width for the 1++ dressed charmonium state. On the other hand, the X(3872) and X2(4012) start developing some charmonium content, which is estimated by means of the compositeness Weinberg sum-rule. We also show that for X(3872) molecular probabilities of around 70-90 %, the X2 resonance destabilizes and disappears from the spectrum, becoming either a virtual state or being located deep into the complex plane, with decreasing influence in the D* bar D* scattering line.
We investigate the polarization properties of vector quarkonia in lepton anti-lepton annihilation with special attention to effects due to intermediate Z bosons.
I discuss NRQCD and, in particular, the NRQCD factorization formalism for quarkonium production and decay. I also summarize the current status of the comparison between the predictions of NRQCD factorization and experimental measurements.
In this work we evaluate the cross section of the process $e^+e^-to J/psi eta_c$ at energy $sqrt{s}approx 10.6$ GeV in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism. To simplify our calculation, the heavy quark limit is employed. Without taking the beyond-leading-order contribution(s) into account, the cross section calculated in this scenario is comparable with the experimental data. We also present our prediction for the cross section of double bottomonium production $e^+e^-to Upsilon(1S)eta_b$ for the energy range of $sqrt{s}approx (25 hbox{-} 30)$ GeV which may be experimentally tested, even though there is no facility of this range available at present yet.
