Analysis of up to Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order QCD Corrections

Wen-Yuan Li, Ting Sun, Sheng-Quan Wang +4

The rare exclusive decay of the Higgs boson is an important channel for measuring the Yukawa coupling of the charm quark. In this article, we analyze the process by…

Renormalisation

Leonardo Di Giustino

We give an introduction to renormalisation, focusing first on a pedagogical description of fundamental concepts of the procedure and its features, then we introduce the renormalisa…

Scheme-independent determination of the QCD running coupling at all scales from jet observables using the principle of maximum conformality and infinite-order scale setting

Leonardo Di Giustino, Stanley J. Brodsky, Philip G. Ratcliffe +2

We present a new approach to determining the strong coupling , over the entire range of validity of perturbative QCD, for scales above and up to the Plan…

The Principle of Maximum Conformality Correctly Resolves the Renormalization-Scheme-Dependence Problem

Jiang Yan, Stanley J. Brodsky, Leonardo Di Giustino +3

In this paper, we clarify a serious misinterpretation and consequent misuse of the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC), which also can be served as a mini review of PMC. We emp…

Elimination of QCD Renormalization Scale and Scheme Ambiguities

Leonardo Di Giustino, Stanley J. Brodsky, Philip G. Ratcliffe +2

We present results for the thrust distribution in the electron positron annihilation to the three jet process at NNLO in the perturbative conformal window of QCD, as a function of…

High precision tests of QCD without scale or scheme ambiguities

Leonardo Di Giustino, Stanley J. Brodsky, Philip G. Ratcliffe +2

A key issue in making precise predictions in QCD is the uncertainty in setting the renormalization scale and thus determining the correct values of the QCD running coupling $…

Elimination of QCD Renormalization Scale and Scheme Ambiguities

Sheng-Quan Wang, Stanley J. Brodsky, Xing-Gang Wu +2

The setting of the renormalization scale () in the perturbative QCD (pQCD) is one of the crucial problems for achieving precise fixed-order pQCD predictions. The conventional…

New analyses of event shape observables in electron-positron annihilation and the determination of running behavior in perturbative domain

Sheng-Quan Wang, Chao-Qin Luo, Xing-Gang Wu +2

In this paper, we give comprehensive analyses for event shape observables in electron-positron annihilation by using the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) which is a rigorous…

Detailed Comparison of Renormalization Scale-Setting Procedures based on the Principle of Maximum Conformality

Xu-Dong Huang, Jiang Yan, Hong-Hao Ma +4

The {\it Principle of Maximum Conformality} (PMC), which generalizes the conventional Gell-Mann-Low method for scale-setting in perturbative QED to non-Abelian QCD, provides a rigo…

Setting the Renormalization Scale in QCD: The Principle of Maximum Conformality

Stanley J. Brodsky, Leonardo Di Giustino

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD predictions is the uncertainty in determining the renormalization scale of the running coupling The purpose of the…

Minimal prescription corrected spectra in heavy quark decays

Leonardo Di Giustino, Giulia Ricciardi, Luca Trentadue

The Minimal Prescription procedure is applied to tame the Landau pole singularities of resummed formulae for heavy quark decays. Effects of the final quark mass are taken into acco…
