Complete Renormalization Group Improvement- Avoiding Scale Dependence in QCD Predictions

Abstract

We show that dimensionful renormalization scheme parameters such as the renormalization or factorization scale can be completely eliminated from perturbative QCD predictions provided that all the ultraviolet logarithms involving the physical energy scale Q are completely resummed.
