TTP07-11 Title : Ultrasoft contribution to quarkonium production and annihilation

We compute the third-order correction to electromagnetic S-wave quarkonium production and annihilation rates due to the emission and absorption of an ultrasoft gluon. Our result completes the analysis of the non-relativistic quarkonium bound-state dynamics in the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. The impact of the ultrasoft correction on the Upsilon(1S) leptonic width and the top quark-antiquark threshold production cross section is estimated.
