The Heavy Quark Self-Energy in Nonrelativistic Lattice QCD

Abstract

The heavy quark self-energy in nonrelativistic lattice QCD is calculated to $O({\alpha }_s)$ in perturbation theory. An action which includes all spin-independent relativistic corrections to order $v^2$, where $v$ is the typical heavy quark velocity, and all spin-dependent corrections to order $v^4$ is used. The standard Wilson action and an improved multi-plaquette action are used for the gluons. Results for the mass renormalization, wavefunction renormalization, and energy shift are given; tadpole contributions are found to be large. A tadpole improvement scheme in which all link variables are rescaled by a mean-field factor is also studied. The effectiveness of this scheme in offsetting the large tadpole contributions to the heavy quark renormalization parameters is demonstrated.
