Testing Nonperturbative Ansaetze for the QCD Field Strength Correlator

Abstract

A test for the Gaussian and exponential Ansaetze for the nonperturbative parts of the coefficient functions, D^{nonpert.} and D_1^{nonpert.}, which parametrize the gauge-invariant bilocal correlator of the field strength tensors in the stochastic vacuum model of QCD, is proposed. It is based on the evaluation of the heavy-quark condensate within this model by making use of the world-line formalism and equating the obtained result to the one following directly from the QCD Lagrangian. This yields a certain relation between D^{nonpert.}(0) and D_1^{nonpert.}(0), which is further compared with an analogous relation between these quantities known from the existing lattice data. Such a comparison leads to the conclusion that at the distances smaller than the correlation length of the vacuum, Gaussian Ansatz is more suitable than the exponential one.
