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 determine the decay rate to leptons of the ground-state $Upsilon$ meson and its first radial excitation in lattice QCD for the first time. We use radiatively-improved NRQCD for the $b$ quarks and include $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ quarks in the sea wit
We have performed the first $n_f = 2+1+1$ lattice QCD computations of the properties (masses and decay constants) of ground-state charmonium mesons. Our calculation uses the HISQ action to generate quark-line connected two-point correlation functions
We have developed two methods for handling $b$ quarks in lattice QCD. One uses NRQCD (now improved to include radiative corrections) and the other uses Highly Improved Staggered Quarks (HISQ), extrapolating to the $b$ quark from lighter masses and us
We show results for the Upsilon spectrum calculated in lattice QCD including for the first time vacuum polarization effects for light u and d quarks as well as s quarks. We use gluon field configurations generated by the MILC collaboration. The calcu
We determine the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon from the $alpha^2_{mathrm{QED}}$ hadronic vacuum polarization diagram using full lattice QCD and including $u/d$ quarks with physical masses for the first time. We use gluon f
