Comparing optimized renormalization schemes for QCD observables

Abstract

Based on the renormalization group summation method of McKeon $etal.$, it is shown that the renormalization group equation, while related to the radiatively mass scale $\mu$, would perform a summation over QCD perturbative terms. Employing the full QCD $\beta$-function within this summation, all logarithmic corrections can be presented as log-independent contributions. In another step of this approach, the renormalization scheme dependence of QCD observables, characterized by Stevenson, is required to be examined. In this regard, two choices of renormalization scheme would be exposed. In one of them, the QCD observable is expressed in terms of two powers of running coupling constant. In the other one, the perturbative series expansion is written as an infinite series in terms of the two-loop running coupling represented by the Lambert $W$-function. In both cases, the QCD observable involves parameters which are renormalization scheme invariant and a coupling constant which is independent of the renormalization scale. We then consider the approach of complete renormalization group improvement (CORGI). In this approach, using the self consistency principle, it is possible to reconstruct the conventional perturbative series in terms of scheme invariant quantities and the coupling constant as a function of Lambert $W$-function. One of the key differences between CORGI and the renormalization group summation method of McKeon $etal.$ is that the later treats renormalization scale and scheme independently while the former would encounter both dependencies together. In continuation, numerical results of the two approaches are compared for $R_{e^{+}{e}^{-}}$ ratio and the Higgs decay width to gluon-gluon.
