Infrared Factorization, Wilson Lines and the Heavy Quark Limit
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is shown that, in QCD, the same universal function Γcusp(θ, αS) determines the infrared behaviour of the on-shell quark form factor, the velocity-dependent anomalous dimension in the heavy quark effective field theory (HQET) and the renormalization properties of the vacuum averaged Wilson lines with a cusp. It is demonstrated that a combined use of the methods developed in the relevant different branches of quantum field theory essentially facilitates the all-order study of the asymptotic and analytic properties of this function.

Renormalized sum rules for structure functions of heavy meson decays.
We consider properties of the structure functions of inclusive heavy meson decays B → Xc and treat the c quark mass as a free parameter. We show that in two extreme cases of heavy and light c quark the structure functions of heavy–heavy and heavy–light transitions are given by a Fourier transform of the matrix elements of Wilson lines containing a time–like and a light–like segment, correspondi...

This paper studies improved factorization method, in the heavy quark limit, for B→Kπ decays. Paying attention to strong interaction scale AQCD, and calculating all parameters depending on that in the particular scale (the same as µ ) show that we can obtain better and comparable results for branching ratios such as BR(B0 → K0 π 0 )=8.5+0.7-0.5 × 10-6 and BR(B →π k0)=2.26+0.17-0.15 × 10-5, and...
متن کاملInfrared factorization in inclusive B meson decays
We perform infrared factorization of differential rates of radiative and semileptonic inclusive decays of the B meson in the end-point region of photon and charged lepton spectrum, respectively, in the leading heavy quark mass limit. We find that the differential rates are expressed in terms of hard, jet and soft functions, which satisfy evolution equations. Solving these equations, we find exp...

Heavy quark production in high-energy proton-nucleus (pA) collisions is described in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate. k ⊥ factorization is broken even at leading order albeit a more general factorization in pA holds at this order in terms of 2, 3 and 4 point correlators of Wilson lines in the nuclear target. The x-evolution of these correlators is computed in the large A and large N...
متن کاملFragmentation, NRQCD and Factorization in Heavy Quarkonium Production
We discuss factorization in heavy quarkonium production in high energy collisions using NRQCD. Infrared divergences at NNLO are not matched by conventional NRQCD matrix elements. However, we show that gauge invariance and factorization require that conventional NRQCD production matrix elements be modified to include Wilson lines or non-abelian gauge links. With this modification NRQCD factoriza...
