The static potential: lattice versus perturbation theory in a renormalon-based approach
نویسنده
چکیده
We compare, for the static potential and at short distances, perturbation theory with the results of lattice simulations. We show that a renormalon-dominance picture explains why in the literature sometimes agreement, and another disagreement, is found between lattice simulations and perturbation theory depending on the different implementations of the latter. We also show that, within a renormalon-based scheme, perturbation theory agrees with lattice simulations. PACS numbers: 12.38.Bx, 12.38.Gc, 12.38.Cy.

QCD phenomenology of static sources and gluonic excitations at short distances
New lattice data for the Πu and Σ − u potentials at short distances are presented. We compare perturbation theory to the lower static hybrid potentials and find good agreement at short distances, once the renormalon ambiguities are accounted for. We use the non-perturbatively determined continuum-limit static hybrid and ground state potentials at short distances to determine the gluelump energi...
متن کاملRenormalons and Confinement *
We compute the renormalon ambiguity of the static potential, in the limit of a large number of flavors. An extrapolation of the QED result to QCD implies that the large distance behavior of the quark potential is arbitrary in perturbation theory, as there are an infinite number of prescriptions to assign. The shape of the potential at large distances is not only affected by the renormalon pole ...
متن کاملCompelling evidence of renormalons in QCD from high order perturbative expansions.
We compute the static self-energy of SU(3) gauge theory in four spacetime dimensions to order α20 in the strong coupling constant α. We employ lattice regularization to enable a numerical simulation within the framework of stochastic perturbation theory. We find perfect agreement with the factorial growth of high order coefficients predicted by the conjectured renormalon picture based on the op...
متن کاملDetermination of the bottom quark mass from the Υ(1S) system
We approximately compute the normalization constant of the first infrared renormalon of the pole mass (and the singlet static potential). Estimates of higher order terms in the perturbative relation between the pole mass and the MS mass (and in the relation between the singlet static potential and αs) are given. We define a matching scheme (the renormalon subtracted scheme) between QCD and any ...
متن کاملLarge order behavior in perturbation theory of the pole mass and the singlet static potential
We discuss upon recent progress in our knowledge of the large order behavior in perturbation theory of the pole mass and the singlet static potential. We also discuss about the renormalon subtracted scheme, a matching scheme between QCD and any effective field theory with heavy quarks where, besides the usual perturbative matching, the first renormalon in the Borel plane of the pole mass is sub...
