Abstract:The dominant contribution of the next-to-leading order perturbative QCD corrections to the ϒ → Xγ photon energy spectrum for photon energies ω ∼ m b α s can be obtained trivially from the knowledge of the corresponding O(α) correction to the positronium decay spectrum in the same region. The latter can be obtained from the NRQED computation of the orthopositronium photon spectrum, or by applying the threshold expansion to the 1-loop QED amplitude, as it is explained in this talk.International Workshop on Effec… Show more
We present an effective field theory based extraction of the η c mass and width from a recent measurement by CLEO of the photon line shape in the J/ψ → η c γ decay.

“…The function a e (E γ ) has been discussed in Refs. [10,11]; a closed analytical form has been derived in [12]. In the weak-coupling regime, the typical momentum transfer in the charmonium is of order m c α s , the binding energy of the ground state is of order m c α 2 s and the hyperfine splitting is of order m c α 4 s .…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
