We present a calculation of the hyperfine splittings in bottomonium using lattice Nonrelativistic QCD. The calculation includes spin-dependent relativistic corrections through O(v^6), radiative corrections to the leading spin-magnetic coupling and, for the first time, non-perturbative 4-quark interactions which enter at alpha_s^2 v^3. We also include the effect of u,d,s and c quark vacuum polarisation. Our result for the 1S hyperfine splitting is M(Upsilon,1S) - M(eta_b,1S)= 60.0(6.4) MeV. We find the ratio of 2S to 1S hyperfine splittings (M(Upsilon,2S) - M(eta_b,2S))/ (M(Upsilon,1S) - M(eta_b,1S)) = 0.445(28).

We present improved results for the B and D meson spectrum from lattice QCD including the effect of u/d,s and c quarks in the sea. For the B mesons the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action is used for the sea and light valence quarks and NonRelativistic QCD for the b quark including O(alpha_s) radiative corrections to many of the Wilson coefficients for the first time. The D mesons use the Highly Improved Staggered Quark action for both valence quarks on the same sea. We find M_{B_s}-M_B=84(2) MeV, M_{B_s}=5.366(8) GeV, M_{B_c}=6.278(9) GeV, M_{D_s}=1.9697(33) GeV, and M_{D_s}-M_{D}=101(3) MeV. Our results for the B meson hyperfine splittings are M_{B^*}-M_{B}=50(3) MeV, M_{B_s^*}-M_{B_s}=52(3) MeV, in good agreement with existing experimental results. This demonstrates that our perturbative improvement of the NRQCD chromo-magnetic coupling works for both heavyonium and heavy-light mesons. We predict M_{B_c^*}-M_{B_c}=54(3) MeV. We also present first results for the radially excited B_c states as well as the orbitally excited scalar B_c0^* and axial vector B_c1 mesons.
Radiative decays of bottomonium are revisited, focusing on contributions from higher-order relativistic effects. The leading relativistic correction to the magnetic spin-flip operator at the photon vertex is found to be particularly important. The combination of O(v^6) effects in the nonrelativistic QCD action and in the transition operator moves previous lattice results for excited Upsilon decays into agreement with experiment.
We extend the formalism based on perturbative QCD that was developed in our previous work, and compute the hyperfine splittings of the bottomonium spectrum as well as the fine and hyperfine splittings of the charmonium spectrum. All the corrections up to O(alpha_s^5 m) are included in the computations. We find agreement (with respect to theoretical uncertainties) with the experimental values whenever available and give predictions for not yet observed splittings.
We calculate the mass difference between the $Upsilon$ and $eta_b$ and the $Upsilon$ leptonic width from lattice QCD using the Highly Improved Staggered Quark formalism for the $b$ quark and including $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea. We have results for lattices with lattice spacing as low as 0.03 fm and multiple heavy quark masses, enabling us to map out the heavy quark mass dependence and determine values at the $b$ quark mass. Our results are: $M_{Upsilon} -M_{eta_b} = 57.5(2.3)(1.0) ,mathrm{MeV}$ (where the second uncertainty comes from neglect of quark-line disconnected correlation functions) and decay constants, $f_{eta_b}=724(12)$ MeV and $f_{Upsilon} =677.2(9.7)$ MeV, giving $Gamma(Upsilon rightarrow e^+e^-) = 1.292(37)(3) ,mathrm{keV}$. The hyperfine splitting and leptonic width are both in good agreement with experiment, and provide the most accurate lattice QCD results to date for these quantities by some margin. At the same time results for the time moments of the vector-vector correlation function can be compared to values for the $b$ quark contribution to $sigma(e^+e^- rightarrow mathrm{hadrons})$ determined from experiment. Moments 4--10 provide a 2% test of QCD and yield a $b$ quark contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon of 0.300(15)$times 10^{-10}$. Our results, covering a range of heavy quark masses, may also be useful to constrain QCD-like composite theories for beyond the Standard Model physics.
We present a determination of the b-quark mass accurate through O(alpha_s^2) in perturbation theory and including partial contributions at O(alpha_s^3). Nonperturbative input comes from the calculation of the Upsilon and B_s energies in lattice QCD including the effect of u, d and s sea quarks. We use an improved NRQCD action for the b-quark. This is combined with the heavy quark energy shift in NRQCD determined using a mixed approach of high-beta simulation and automated lattice perturbation theory. Comparison with experiment enables the quark mass to be extracted: in the MS bar scheme we find m_b(m_b) = 4.166(43) GeV.
