Abstract:
NRQCD results for Upsilon and Charmonium using both dynamical and quenched configurations are presented. We investigate dependence on the light dynamical quark mass. Preliminary dynamical (nf=2n_f = 2) Charmonium data are combined with quenched results to extract the strong coupling constant αP (nf)\alpha_P~{(n_f)} for the physical number of light dynamical quarks, nf=3n_f = 3. Good agreement is found with calculations based on the Upsilon system. We show that a discrepancy in αP (nf=0)\alpha_P~{(n_f=0)}, found between the Upsilon and Charmonium systems in the quenched theory, disappears upon extrapolating to the physical number of flavors. Results for the strong coupling constant αMS\alpha_{\overline{MS}} are presented and sources of systematic error investigated.
