Effective Field Theory for Ultrasoft Momenta in NRQCD and NRQED

چکیده

Two particle non-relativistic bound states in QCD (QED) have, at least, three well separated scales: the mass m (hard scale), the typical relative momentum |~ p| (soft scale) and the typical bound state energy E (ultrasoft scale). This allows to introduce a hierarchy of effective field theories when sequentially integrating out each of these scales. After integrating out the hard scale m QCD (QED) becomes a non-relativistic theory, the so called NRQCD (NRQED) [1]. This effective theory is local in space and time and it is still naturally written in terms of quark fields. Integrating out the soft scale leads to a so far elusive effective field theory which we call potential NRQCD (pNRQCD). We claim that this effective theory is local in time but it is non-local in space and it is naturally written in terms of wave function fields. We present some original results for the above mentioned effective field theories. In section 2 we give the matching coefficients for the four-quark operators at one loop for NRQED and also for NRQCD in the case of different quark masses. In section 3 we put forward our proposal for pNRQCD and give some results for pNRQED.

NRQCD, Effective Field Theories and Potential Models

The study of the heavy quark–antiquark system is an old topic (see [1] for earlier references). Here we will concentrate on recent developments based on effective field theories. For large enough masses, these systems can be considered to be non-relativistic (NR) and are then characterized by, at least, three widely separated scales: hard (the mass m, of the heavy quarks), soft (the relative mo...

Potential NRQED: The positronium case

We discuss in detail potential NRQED ~pNRQED!, a previously proposed effective field theory for ultrasoft photons. The pNRQED Lagrangian for the equal mass case is presented, and it is shown that it correctly reproduces the positronium spectrum at order ma. The pNRQED Lagrangian for the unequal mass case is also presented at the same order. Dimensional regularization is used throughout. @S0556-...

The Soft Régime in NRQCD

A Lagrangean and a set of Feynman rules are presented for Non-Relativistic QCD with manifest power counting in the heavy quark velocity v. A régime is identified in which energies and momenta are of order Mv. It is neither identical to the ultrasoft régime corresponding to radiative processes with energies and momenta of order Mv2, nor to the potential régime with on shell quarks and gluons pro...
