The Running Coulomb Potential and Lamb Shift in QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
The QCD β-function and the anomalous dimensions for the Coulomb potential and the static potential first differ at three loop order. We evaluate the three loop ultrasoft anomalous dimension for the Coulomb potential and give the complete three loop running. Using this result, we calculate the leading logarithmic Lamb shift for a heavy quark-antiquark bound state, which includes all contributions to the binding energies of the form mαs(αs lnαs) , k ≥ 0.

Exact two-loop vacuum polarization correction to the Lamb shift in hydrogen-like ions
We present a calculation scheme for the two-loop vacuum polarization correction of order α2 to the Lamb shift of hydrogen-like high-Z atoms. The interaction with the external Coulomb field is taken into account to all orders in (Zα). By means of a modified potential approach the problem is reduced to the evaluation of effective one-loop vacuum polarization potentials. An expression for the ener...
متن کاملRenormalization-group Calculation of Color-Coulomb Potential
We report here on the application of the perturbative renormalization-group to the Coulomb gauge in QCD. We use it to determine the high-momentum asymptotic form of the instantaneous color-Coulomb potential V (~k) and of the vacuum polarization P (~k, k4). These quantities are renormalization-group invariants, in the sense that they are independent of the renormalization scheme. A scheme-indepe...
متن کاملONE MORE ANALYTIC RESULT FOR α(Zα)m CORRECTION TO THE LAMB SHIFT
The analytic result for the radiative correction of order α(Zα)m to the Lamb shift connected with a polarization insertion in one of the two external Coulomb lines is obtained. This correction arises from a gauge invariant set of diagrams which contain, besides the polarization insertion in the Coulomb leg, all one-loop radiative photon insertions in the electron line with two external Coulomb ...
متن کاملA remark on the short distance potential in gluodynamics
The structure of leading nonperturbative corrections to the static Coulomb potential in QCD at small distances is analyzed. We argue in favor of the correction linearly dependent on distance and remark that lattice measurements of static potential for charges in higher representations can distinguish between different phenomenological models explaining its existence. Related problems of validit...
متن کاملQcd Potentiology
We review the connection between QCD and potential models of quarkonia in the framework of effective field theories, with an emphasis on non-perturbative methods such as lattice simulations. The static and heavy quark potentials are introduced and the applicability of the non-relativistic and adiabatic approximations are discussed. The rôles of so-called hybrid potentials are explored and we co...
