Renormalization group scaling in nonrelativistic QCD

arXiv:hep-ph/9910209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.61.074025

Abstract

We discuss the matching conditions and renormalization group evolution of non-relativistic QCD. A variant of the conventional MS-bar scheme is proposed in which a subtraction velocity nu is used rather than a subtraction scale mu. We derive a novel renormalization group equation in velocity space which can be used to sum logarithms of v in the effective theory. We apply our method to several examples. In particular we show that our formulation correctly reproduces the two-loop anomalous dimension of the heavy quark production current near threshold.
