Precision Charmonium Spectroscopy From Lattice QCD

Abstract

We present results for Charmonium spectroscopy using Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD). For the NRQCD action the leading order spin-dependent and next to leading order spin-independent interactions have been included with tadpole-improved coefficients. We use multi-exponential fits to multiple correlation functions to extract ground and excited $S$ states. Splittings between the lowest $S$, $P$ and $D$ states are given and we have accurate values for the $S$ state hyperfine splitting and the ${\chi }_c$ fine structure. Agreement with experiment is good - the remaining systematic errors are discussed.
