abstract
We calculate the full spectrum of D-wave states in the Upsilon system in lattice QCD for the first time, using an improved version of NonRelativistic QCD on coarse and fine "second generation" gluon field configurations from the MILC collaboration that include the effect of up, down, strange and charm quarks in the sea. Taking the 2S-1S splitting to set the lattice spacing, we determine the ^3D_2 - 1S splitting to 2.3%, and find agreement with experiment. Our prediction of the fine structure relative to the ^3D_2 gives the ^3D_3 at 10.181(5) GeV and the ^3D_1 at 10.147(6) GeV. We also discuss the overlap of ^3D_1 operators with ^3S_1 states.

Charmonium properties at high temperatures from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD calculations indicate charmonium states persist below the open-charm threshold up to 305 MeV but develop temperature-dependent thermal widths that increase with state size.
