Low energy moments of heavy quark current correlators at four loops
We describe several techniques for the calculation of multi-loop integrals and their application to heavy quark current correlators. As new results, we present the fourloop correction to the second and third physical moment in the low-energy expansions of vector, axial-vector and scalar quark current correlators. Using a Ward identity, we obtain the third and fourth moment for the pseudo-scalar...
متن کاملSpectral Functions for Heavy-Light Currents and Form Factor Relations in HQET
We derive relations among form factors describing the current-induced transitions: (vacuum) → B,B, Bπ,Bπ,Bρ and Bρ using heavy quark symmetry. The results are compared to corresponding form factor relations following from identities between scalar and axial vector, and pseudoscalar and vector spectral functions in the heavy quark limit. Supported in part by the Foundation for Research Developme...
متن کاملMoments of Heavy Quark Current Correlators at Four-Loop Order in Perturbative QCD
We present the result for the first moment of the scalar and axial-vector current correlator in third order of the strong coupling constant αs and give the details of a recent evaluation of the pseudo-scalar correlator. The results can be used to reduce the theoretical uncertainty due to higher order corrections for the determination of fundamental parameters of QCD in the context of lattice ca...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Diffusion from the Lattice
Abstract We study the diffusion of heavy quarks in the Quark Gluon Plasma using the Langevin equations of motion and estimate the contribution of the transport peak to the Euclidean current-current correlator. We show that the Euclidean correlator is remarkably insensitive to the heavy quark diffusion coefficient and give a simple physical interpretation of this result using the free streaming ...
متن کاملCorrelator of heavy - quark currents at small q 2 in the large - β 0 limit
Abstract. The correlator of vector heavy-quark currents at small q is considered in the large-β0 limit. The leading IR renormalon ambiguity of the sum of the perturbative series is canceled by the UV renormalon ambiguity of the gluon condensate. Asymptotic behaviour of the perturbative series is obtained in a modelindependent way, up to a single unknown normalization factor. Gluon-virtuality di...
