چکیده
We present analytical calculation of the rst seven moments of the heavy quark vacuum polarization function in the three-loop order. The obtained results are compared against the asymptotic formulas following from the threshold singulari-ties. We also discuss the dependence of the moments within the BLM procedure.

متن کاملHeavy-quark masses from low-energy moments of heavy-quark currents
We present the newest results for the determination of heavy-quark masses from low-energy moments of the vacuum polarization function. The results presented here update an earlier determination of the quark masses and incorporate new theoretical calculations of the low-energy moments of the vacuum polarization and new experimental data at the bottom threshold.
متن کاملFour-loop moments of the heavy quark vacuum polarization function in perturbative QCD
New results at four-loop order in perturbative QCD for the first two Taylor coefficients of the heavy quark vacuum polarization function are presented. They can be used to perform a precise determination of the charmand bottom-quark mass. Implications for the value of the quark masses are briefly discussed.

متن کاملHeavy - quark vacuum polarization : first two moments of the O ( α 3 s n 2 f ) contribution
The vacuum polarization due to a virtual heavy quark pair and specifically the coefficients of its Taylor expansion in the external momentum are closely related to moments of the cross section for quarkantiquark pair production in electron-positron annihilation. Relating measurement and theoretically calculated Taylor coefficients, an accurate value for charmand bottom-quark mass can be derived...
متن کاملTHE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.
