The spectrum of the [Upsilon] system is investigated using the nonrelativistic lattice QCD approach to heavy quarks and ignoring light quark vacuum polarization. We find good agreement with experiment for the [Upsilon],[Upsilon][prime],[Upsilon][prime][prime] and for the center of mass and fine structure of the [chi][sub [ital b]] states. The lattice calculations predict [ital b[bar b]] [ital D] states with a center of mass at (10.20[plus minus]0.07[plus minus]0.03) GeV. Fitting procedures aimed at extracting both ground and excited state energies are developed. We calculate a nonperturbative dispersion mass for the [Upsilon](1[ital S]) and compare it with tadpole-improved lattice perturbation theory.
