چکیده
The singular part of Borel transform of a QCD amplitude near the infrared renormalon can be expanded in terms of higher order Wilson coefficients of the operators associated with the renormalon. In this paper we observe that this expansion gives nontrivial constraints on the Borel amplitude that can be used to improve the accuracy of the ordinary perturbative expansion of the Borel amplitude. In particular, we consider the Borel transform of the Adler function and its expansion around the first infrared renormalon due to the gluon condensate. Using the next–to–leading order Wilson coefficient of the gluon condensate operator, we obtain an exact constraint on the Borel amplitude at the first IR renormalon. We then extrapolate, using judiciously chosen conformal transformations and Padé approximants, the ordinary perturbative expansion of the Borel amplitude in such a way that this constraint is satisfied. This procedure allows us to predict theO(αs) coefficient of the Adler function, which gives a result consistent with the estimate by Kataev and Starshenko using a completely different method. We then apply this improved Borel amplitude to the tau decay width, and obtain the strong coupling constant αs(M 2 z ) = 0.1194±0.0008exp. ±0.0010EW+CKM±0.0009meth.±0.0003evol.. We then compare this result with those of other resummation methods. Typeset using REVTEX ∗To appear in Phys. Rev. D †[email protected] ‡[email protected]

The D+ → ωπ+ decay is studied by decomposing its amplitude into a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. Its rate is predicted as a function of mass and width of a hypothetical hybrid meson. PACS number(s): 13.25.Ft, 11.30.Hv, 11.40.Ha, 12.39.Mk Typeset using REVTEX

We investigate the possibility that the large mixing of neutrinos is induced by their large coupling to a five-dimensional bulk neutrino. In the strong coupling limit the model is exactly soluble. It gives rise to an oscillation amplitude whose squared-mass difference is independent of the channel, thus making it impossible to explain both the solar and the atmospheric neutrino oscillations sim...
