چکیده

Self-energy corrections involving logarithms of the parameter Zα can often be derived within a simplified approach , avoiding calculational difficulties typical of the problematic non-logarithmic corrections (as customary in bound-state quantum electrodynamics, we denote by Z the nuclear charge number, and by α the fine-structure constant). For some logarithmic corrections, it is sufficient to consider internal properties of the electron characterized by form factors. We provide a detailed derivation of related self-energy " potentials " that give rise to the logarithmic corrections; these potentials are local in coordinate space. We focus on the double-logarithmic two-loop coefficient B 62 for P states and states with higher angular momenta in hydrogenlike systems. We complement the discussion by a systematic derivation of B 62 based on nonrela-tivistic quantum electrodynamics (NRQED). In particular, we find that an additional double logarithm generated by the loop-after-loop diagram cancels when the entire gauge-invariant set of two-loop self-energy diagrams is considered. This double logarithm is not contained in the effective-potential approach. Keywords quantum electrodynamics-specific calculations; calculations and mathematical techniques in atomic and molecular physics; Relativistic and quantum electrodynamic effects in atoms and molecules.

Nonperturbative self-energy of a bound quark is computed gauge-invariantly in the framework of background perturbation theory. The resulting ∆m 2 q is negative and is a universal function of string tension and current quark mass. The shift of hadron mass squared, M 2 , due to ∆m 2 q is negative, large for light quarks, and solves the long-standing problem of Regge intercepts in relativistic qua...

We explore the deeply virtual Compton scattering process at NLO with the emphasis on the measurement of the tensor gluon skewed distributions. We recalculate the one-loop coefficient function and give two-loop results for anomalous dimensions and exclusive evolution kernels required for studying the logarithmic scaling violation. We evaluate weighted cross sections which give direct access to t...
