Improved Heavy Quark Effective Theory Currents
نویسنده
چکیده
It is hoped that the accuracy of a variety of lattice calculations will be improved by perturbatively eliminating effects proportional to the lattice spacing. In this paper, we apply this improvement program to the heavy quark effective theory currents which cause a heavy quark to decay to a light quark, and renormalize the resulting operators to order αS. We find a small decrease in the amount that the operator needs to be renormalized, relative to the unimproved case.

Reparametrization invariance and the expansion of currents in the heavy quark effective theory
The coefficients appearing at leading and subleading order in the 1/m expansion of bilinear heavy quark currents are related to each other by imposing reparametrization invariance on both the effective current operators and the short-distance coefficient functions in the heavy quark effective theory. When combined with present knowledge about the leading order coefficients, the results allow to...
متن کاملDecoupling of heavy-quark loops in light-light and heavy-light quark currents
Matching of light-light quark currents in QCD with a heavy flavour and in the lowenergy effective QCD is calculated in MS at two loops. Heavy-light HQET currents are similarly considered. Consider QCD with nl light flavours and a single heavy one having mass M . Processes involving only light fields with momenta pi ≪ M can be described by an effective field theory — QCD with nl flavours plus 1/...
متن کاملShort-distance expansion of heavy-light currents at order 1/mQ.
The short-distance expansion of the heavy-light currents q̄ γQ and q̄ γγ5Q is constructed to order 1/mQ, and to next-to-leading order in renormalization-group improved perturbation theory. It is shown that the 10 × 10 anomalous dimension matrix, which describes the scale dependence of the dimension-four effective current operators in the heavy quark effective theory, is to a large extent determin...
متن کاملNew Formulation of Heavy Quark Effective Field Theory
The heavy quark effective field theory (HQEFT) containing both effective 'quark fields' and 'antiquark fields' is investigated in detail. By integrating out the effective antiquark fields, we obtain an effective Lagrangian in terms of only the effective quark fields. Such an effective Lagrangian differs from the one in the usual heavy quark effective theory (HQET) because of the inclusion of th...

Heavy quark induced effective action for gauge fields in the SU (N c) ⊗ U (1) model and the low-energy structure of heavy quark current correlators Abstract We calculate the low-energy limit of heavy quark current correlators within an expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass. The induced low-energy currents built from the gluon fields corresponding to the initial heavy quark currents are obta...
