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.

Recently it has been shown that the gross structure of the bottomonium spectrum is reproduced reasonably well within the non-relativistic boundstate theory based on perturbative QCD. In that calculation, however, the fine splittings and the S-P level splittings are predicted to be considerably narrower than the corresponding experimental values. We investigate the bottomonium spectrum within a specific framework based on perturbative QCD, which incorporates all the corrections up to O(alpha_S^5 m_b) and O(alpha_S^4 m_b), respectively, in the computations of the fine splittings and the S-P splittings. We find that the agreement with the experimental data for the fine splittings improves drastically due to an enhancement of the wave functions close to the origin as compared to the Coulomb wave functions. The agreement of the S-P splittings with the experimental data also becomes better. We find that natural scales of the fine splittings and the S-P splittings are larger than those of the boundstates themselves. On the other hand, the predictions of the level spacings between consecutive principal quantum numbers depend rather strongly on the scale mu of the operator propto C_A/(m_b r^2). The agreement of the whole spectrum with the experimental data is much better than the previous predictions when mu simeq 3-4 GeV for alpha_S(M_Z)=0.1181. There seems to be a phenomenological preference for some suppression mechanism for the above operator.
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, f or 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 address the problem of observed charmonium decays which should be forbidden in perturbative QCD. We examine the model in which these decays proceed through a gluonic component of the $J/Psi$ and the $eta_c$, arising from a mixing of $(cbar c)$ and glueball states. We give some bounds on the values of the mixing angles and propose the study of the $p bar{p} to phi phi$ reaction, at $sqrt{s} simeq 3$ GeV, as an independent test of the model.
Many new states in the charmonium and bottomonium mass region were recently discovered by the BaBar, Belle and CDF Collaborations. We use the QCD Sum Rule approach to study the possible structure of some of these states. In particular we identify the recently observed bottomonium-like resonance $Z_b^+(10610)$ with the first excitation of the tetraquark $X_b(1^{++})$, the analogue of the X(3872) state in the charm sector.
In the present work, we study the OZI-allowed three body open flavor decay properties of higher vector charmonium and bottomonium states with an extended quark pair creation model. For the bottomonium system, we get that (i) the $BBpi$ and $B^*B^*pi$ partial decay widths of the $Upsilon(5S)$ state are consistent with the experiment, and the $BB^*pi$ partial decay width of the $Upsilon(5S)$ state is smaller but very close to the Belles experiment. Meanwhile, (ii) the $BB^*pi$ and $B^*B^*pi$ decay widths of $Upsilon(11020)$ can reachs $2sim3$ MeV. In addition, (iii) for the most of higher vector charmonium states, the partial decay widths of the $DD^*pi$ and $D^*D^*pi$ modes can reach up to several MeV, which may be observed in future experiments.
