Consistent with experimental measurements within uncertainties

Provides theoretical framework for future bottomonium studies

Abstract

The ATLAS Collaboration has recently announced the discovery of the 3P states of the Upsilon system, chi_b(3P), with mass of 10.539+-0.004(stat.)+-0.008(syst.) GeV. In a previous investigation of the Upsilon system, in the context of a comprehensive one-loop potential model, we calculated the masses of these states, but did not include them. We present those results, and others for the n = 3 states here.
