Higher order JWKB expressions for the energy levels and the wave function at the origin

Description

We derive an exact quantization condition for the energy levels of a particle in a radial potential assumed finite at the origin. This is used to derive corrections to the semiclassical JWKB quantization condition. We further relate the normalization integral of the wavefunction to the energy derivative of wavefunction at origin and use this expression to derive the corrections to the semiclassical JWKB expressions for the wavefunction at origin. An application to upsilon leptonic decay width is also given. (orig.)
