abstract

We provide a detailed account of the methods and calculations for the third-order corrections to the S-wave Green function from heavy-quark potentials other than the Coulomb potential. The results of this paper are relevant to the top-antitop threshold production process in next-to-next-to-next-to-leading (NNNLO) order and to the determination of the bottom-quark mass from high-moment sum rules, and have been employed in corresponding previous publications. Further to the third-order calculation, we discuss in detail three refinements necessary to obtain reliable third-order results for the top threshold: finite-width effects, pole resummation, and the implementation of the potential-subtracted mass scheme. A detailed numerical analysis of residual scale dependence and the size of various contributions to the top production cross section is provided. The S-wave energy levels and wave functions at the origin for heavy quarkonium states of arbitrary principal quantum number $n$ are collected in an appendix.

  1. An effective field theory for muon conversion and muon decay-in-orbit

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A five-stage EFT tower factorizes QED corrections to muon conversion and decay-in-orbit near the endpoint, yielding a resummed NLL-corrected signal shape.

  2. An Optimal Transportation Approach for Improved Confidence Intervals

    stat.ME 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Optimal-transport couplings are used to construct confidence intervals that reduce coverage error relative to classical quantile-based intervals, with consistency theory and data-driven hyperparameters.

  3. Toponium: the smallest bound state and simplest hadron in quantum mechanics

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the b-quark production ratio at sqrt(s) near 341 GeV, a simulated CEPC experiment could discover toponium at over 5 sigma and measure the top 1S mass to about 33 MeV.

  4. Ensuring that toponium is glued, not nailed

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    QCD toponium and its excited states can explain the LHC near-threshold cross-section excess, while a short-range new-physics bound state would look different in the same data.

  5. Toponium Spectrum in the Complex-Energy Plane

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Toponium's T-matrix poles survive at realistic top width, supporting a quasi-bound-state interpretation despite the spectrum appearing as a single broad peak.
