# Super-heavy Quarkonia and the Gluon Condensate

## Summary

At large $`m_Q`$ the hyperfine splitting of the ground state becomes compatible with Coulombic behaviour. However, the S-P splitting from NRQCD is neither in accord with the B+T model nor with leading order perturbative results for LV-type models. On the level of lowest order perturbation theory no consistent picture of the effect of the gluon condensate can be found allthough there is evidence that the general trend predicted by the analytic results is qualitatively correct. The NRQCD hyperfine splitting of the ground state is decreasing and the S-P splitting is increasing with $`m_Q`$ for large quark mass consistent with the perturbative dependence on different powers of $`\alpha _s`$. It will be interesting to see  if a comparison with more rigorous models like the combined SVM and lattice approach will consolidate the situation. An alternative might be a closed lattice approach. Then one is faced with the difficult problem to switch the condensate on and off during the simulations.
