Analytic invariant charge and the lattice static quark-antiquark potential

Abstract

A recently developed model for the QCD analytic invariant charge is compared with quenched lattice simulation data on the static quark-antiquark potential. By employing this strong running coupling one is able to obtain the confining quark-antiquark potential in the framework of the one-gluon exchange model. To achieve this objective a technique for evaluating the integrals of a required form is developed. Special attention is paid here to removing the divergences encountered the calculations. All this enables one to examine the asymptotic behavior of the potential at both small and large distances with high accuracy. An explicit expression for the quark-antiquark potential, which interpolates between these asymptotics, and satisfies the concavity condition, is proposed. The derived potential coincides with the perturbative results at small distances, and it is in a good agreement with the lattice data in the nonperturbative physically-relevant region. An estimation of the parameter ${\Lambda }_{QCD}$ is obtained for the case of pure gluodynamics. It is found to be consistent with all the previous estimations of ${\Lambda }_{QCD}$ in the framework of approach in hand.
