1207.3825 (Randy Lewis et al.)

More about excited bottomonium radiative decays    [PDF]

Randy Lewis, R. M. Woloshyn
Radiative decays of bottomonium are revisited, focusing on contributions from higher-order relativistic effects. The leading relativistic correction to the magnetic spin-flip operator at the photon vertex is found to be particularly important. The combination of O(v^6) effects in the NRQCD action and in the transition operator moves previous lattice results for excited Upsilon decays into agreement with experiment.
