چکیده
A regularization for effective field theory with two propagating heavy particles is constructed. This regularization preserves the low-energy analytic structure, implements a low-energy power counting for the one-loop diagrams, and preserves symmetries respected by dimensional regularization.

Effective Field Theory Dimensional Regularization
A Lorentz-covariant regularization scheme for effective field theories with an arbitrary number of propagating heavy and light particles is given. This regularization scheme leaves the low-energy analytic structure of Greens functions intact and preserves all the symmetries of the underlying Lagrangian. The power divergences of regularized loop integrals are controlled by the low-energy kinemat...
متن کاملNonperturbative decoupling and effective field theory.
We examine recent claims that nonperturbative effects can prevent the decoupling of a heavy fermion whose mass arises from a Yukawa coupling to a scalar field. We show that in weakly coupled, four dimensional models such as the standard model with heavy mirror fermions the effects of the heavy fermions can always be accounted for by local operators involving light fields. We contrast this with ...
متن کاملMatching Perturbative and Non-perturbative Physics with Power Accuracy in Heavy-quark Effective Theory
I discuss a scheme to match perturbative and non-perturbative physics with power accuracy in the heavy-quark effective theory. I elaborate on two important aspects of the scheme: 1) a multi-loop subtraction of soft contributions from the perturbation series in the pole mass, 2) a perturbative regularization of the linearly-divergent heavy-quark self-energy in the lattice formulation of the heav...
متن کاملEffective Field Theory and Matching in Non-Relativistic Gauge Theories
The effective Lagrangian and power counting rules for non-relativistic gauge theories are derived via a systematic expansion in the large c limit. It is shown that the 1/c expansion leads to an effective field theory which incorporates a multipole expansion. Within this theory there is no need for heuristic arguments to determine the scalings of operators. After eliminating c from the lowest or...
متن کاملRegularization, Renormalization and Range: The Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction from E ective Field Theory
Regularization and renormalization is discussed in the context of low-energy e ective eld theory treatments of two or more heavy particles (such as nucleons). It is desirable to regulate the contact interactions from the outset by treating them as having a nite range. The low energy physical observables should be insensitive to this range provided that the range is of a similar or greater scale...
