Bottomonium and Charmonium at CLEO
نویسنده
چکیده
The bottomonium and charmonium systems have long proved to be a rich source of QCD physics. Recent CLEO contributions in three disparate areas are presented: (1) the study of quark and gluon hadronization using Υ decays; (2) the interpretation of heavy charmonium states, including non-cc candidates; and (3) the exploration of light quark physics using the decays of narrow charmonium states as a well-controlled source of light quark hadrons.

New Results From CLEO and BES
Latest experimental results from BES in the charmonium mass region, and those from CLEO in the bottomonium and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed. 1. Preamble I am going to talk about new results from CLEO and BES, two detectors half a world apart, trying to catch the same particles. CLEO used to do physics in the b-quark region ( √ s = 9 − 11 GeV). It has many credits in bottomonium (bb̄) spe...
متن کاملCharmonium, Bottomonium, Bc Mesons from Classical Pure SU(3) Yang-Mills Configurations
A generalized Faddeev-Niemi ansatz for the gluon field is discussed. In its simplest parametrization, the ansatz allows a solution of the classical SU(3) Yang-Mills equations and from these solutions a confining potential for heavy quarkonia is defined. The investigation of charmonium and bottomonium proves that the potential is able to reproduce the spectra at the level of 3% for charmonium an...
متن کاملHeavy Quarkonia Results from CLEO
Heavy quarkonium cc̄ (cc̄ charmonium, bb̄ bottomonium) provides the best means of testing QCD, both the validity of perturbative QCD and potential models, and lattice QCD calculations. Bottomonium is better than charmonium, both because it has smaller relativistic problems (< v/c >≈ 0.1 versus ≈ 0.2) and smaller coupling constant (α ≈ 0.2 versus ≈ 0.35), but much less high precision spectroscopic ...
متن کاملBottomonium and Charmonium Results from Cleo
The study of hadronic transitions among heavy quarkonium states provides important tests for non-perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) 1. In the multipole expansion, 2 hadronic transitions among heavy quarkonium states proceed by emission and hadronization of soft gluons. The non-relativistic nature of the bottomonium system and the richness of the spectrum of bound states make it an excell...
متن کاملCharmonium at CLEO
Charmonium was discovered in 1974. During the next 10 years a great amount of discovery physics was done by the e+e− colliders at SLAC, DESY and ORSAY. In the 1990’s the Fermilab pp̄ experiments E760/E835 brought unprecedented mass resolution and precision to charmonium spectroscopy, and the BES detector also made numerous contributions at the Beijing e+e− collider. The BES II detector has since...
