A Virial Theorem for the Kinetic Energy of a Heavy Quark inside Hadrons
نویسنده
چکیده
The formalism of the heavy quark effective theory is used to derive the field-theory analog of the virial theorem, which relates the matrix element of the kinetic energy of a heavy quark inside a hadron to a matrix element of the gluon field strength tensor. The existing QCD sum rule calculations of the kinetic energy are not consistent with this theorem. (submitted to Physics Letters B)

On the Motion of Heavy Quarks inside Hadrons: Universal Distributions and Inclusive Decays
In previous papers we have pointed out that there exists a QCD analog of the phenomenological concept of the so-called Fermi motion for the heavy quark inside a hadron. Here we show in a more detailed way how this comes about and we analyze the limitations of this concept. Non-perturbative as well as perturbative aspects are included. We emphasize both the similarities and the differences to th...
متن کاملQCD Sum-Rule Calculation of the Kinetic Energy and Chromo-Interaction of Heavy Quarks Inside Mesons
We present a QCD sum-rule determination of the heavy-quark kinetic energy inside a heavy meson, −λ1/2mQ, which is consistent with the fieldtheory analog of the virial theorem. We obtain −λ1 ≈ (0.10± 0.05) GeV, significantly smaller than a previous sum-rule result, but in good agreement with recent determinations from the analysis of inclusive decays. We also present a new determination of the c...
متن کاملAspects Of Heavy Quark Theory
Recent achievements in the heavy quark theory are critically reviewed. The emphasis is put on those aspects which either did not attract enough attention or cause heated debates in the current literature. Among other topics we discuss (i) basic parameters of the heavy quark theory; (ii) a class of exact QCD inequalities; (iii) new heavy quark sum rules; (iv) virial theorem; (v) applications (|V...
متن کاملExploring the Invisible Renormalon: Renormalization of the Heavy-Quark Kinetic Energy
Using the virial theorem of the heavy-quark effective theory, we show that the mixing of the operator for the heavy-quark kinetic energy with the identity operator is forbidden at the one-loop order by Lorentz invariance. This explains why such a mixing was not observed in several one-loop calculations using regularization schemes with a Lorentz-invariant UV regulator, and why no UV renormalon ...
متن کاملStudy of Solar Magnetic and Gravitational Energies Through the Virial Theorem
Virial theorem is important for understanding stellar structures. It produces an interesting connection between magnetic and gravitational energies. Using the general form of the virial theorem including the magnetic field (toroidal magnetic field), we may explain the solar dynamo model in relation to variations of the magnetic and gravitational energies. We emphasize the role of the gravitatio...
