Weak and strong coupling regime
of heavy quarkonium states
•
Weak coupling regime: the binding is essentially due to a Coulombic-like
potential. States below QQ threshold and not too deep
ΛQCD < mv2
are expected in the weak or perturbative regime
~
• Strong coupling regime: the binding is essentially due to the confining
potential. States deep in the potential are expected
ΛQCD > mv2
in the strong or non-perturbative regime
~
It is important to know the nature of heavy quarkonia, for example to
calculate rates of hindered transitions between (nS) and ηb(n’S) states
Brambilla, Vairo and Jia [hep-ph/0512369] relevant for hunting ηb states
In hep-ph/0511167 X. Garcia i Tormo and J. Soto employed radiative decays
to obtain important information on the nature of  resonances.
We present here a related idea using leptonic decays

Leptonic partial widths are a probe of the compactness of the quarkonium system
providing important information complementary to spectroscopy.
•
NRQCD matrix (color-singlet and –octet) elements can be related to wave
functions at the origin. Potential models can provide the latter though they
can also be obtained without resorting to data fitting (e.g. lattice).
Still open questions about the accuracy (e.g. power counting in the
non-perturbative situation) and consistency within NRQCD!
There are different possible countings e.g., Brambilla et al hep-ph:0208019
Beneke hep-ph/9703429, Fleming, Rothstein and Leibovich hep-ph/0012062

Test of lepton universality (talk at BSM session) [arXiv:0709.3647]
BF[ee] = BF[μμ] = BF[ττ] K(x) ≈ 1
Therefore, a good knowledge of the  system is a basic ingredient
for seeking new physics if lepton universality were (slightly) broken

We conclude: q = 2 is favored
unless cancellations between different sectors happen
Spectrocopy effects of V (1)/m in the lattice potential: good (better) agreement
between predicted and experimental mass levels ( ≈ several tens of MeV)

Conclusions
In the leptonic decays of heavy quarkonium several parameters cancel out
in the ratios of partial widths
Still the ratio is sensitive to the gluonic universal parameter 3
Experimental data on (nS) leptonic decays together with the values of the
wave functions at the origin obtained from potential models favor:
• (2S) and (3S) belonging to the strong regime, while (1S) to the weak regime
• A not so conservative power counting, as naively expected from dimensional
counting in the non-perturbative regime.
• Low values for 3
More precise experimental measurements of leptonic decays should shed
light on the nature of  resonances, to be of great help in the search for
new physics effects, e.g., at high-luminosity (Super) B factories
