Abstract

We present a calculation of the hyperfine splittings in bottomonium using lattice nonrelativistic QCD. The calculation includes spin-dependent relativistic corrections through O(v6), radiative corrections to the leading spin-magnetic coupling and, for the first time, nonperturbative effects of four-quark operators which enter at α2sv3. We also include the effect of u, d, s and c quark vacuum polarization. Our result for the 1S hyperfine splitting is MΥ(1S)−Mηb(1S)=62.8(6.7)  MeV. We find the ratio of 2S to 1S hyperfine splittings (MΥ(2S)−Mηb(2S))/(MΥ(1S)−Mηb(1S))=0.425(25).
