Bottomonium Hyperfine Splitting on the Lattice and in the Continuum

We revise the analysis of the bottomonium hyperfine splitting within the lattice nonrelativistic QCD. The Wilson coefficients of the radiatively improved lattice action are evaluated by a semianalytic approach based on the asymptotic expansion about the continuum limit. The nonrelativistic renormalization group is used to estimate the high-order radiative corrections. Our result for the $1S$ hyperfine splitting is $M_{Υ(1S)}-M_{η_b(1S)}=52.9\pm 5.5~{\rm MeV}$. It reconciles the predictions of the continuum and lattice QCD and is in very good agreement with the most accurate experimental measurement by Belle collaboration.
