Long-range properties of bottomonium states

arXiv:1510.05895 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.93.054002

Abstract

In the framework of weakly-coupled pNRQCD, we derive, first, an analytical expression for the chromo-polarizability of -bottomonium states in agreement with previous determinations. Then we use the QCD trace anomaly to obtain the two-pion production amplitude for the chromo-polarizability operator and match the result to a chiral effective field theory with -bottomonium states and pions as degrees-of-freedom. In this chiral effective field theory we compute some long-range properties of the bottomonium generated by the pion coupling such as the leading chiral logarithm to the -bottomonium mass and the van der Waals potential between two -bottomonium states. Both results improve on previously known expressions.
