Large order behavior in perturbation theory of the pole mass and the singlet static potential

We discuss upon recent progress in our knowledge of the large order behavior in perturbation theory of the pole mass and the singlet static potential. We also discuss about the renormalon subtracted scheme, a matching scheme between QCD and any effective field theory with heavy quarks where, besides the usual perturbative matching, the first renormalon in the Borel plane of the pole mass is subtracted.

Determination of the bottom quark mass from the $Υ(1S)$ system

We approximately compute the normalization constant of the first infrared renormalon of the pole mass (and the singlet static potential). Estimates of higher order terms in the perturbative relation between the pole mass and the $\MS$ mass (and in the relation between the singlet static potential and $α_s$) are given. We define a matching scheme (the renormalon subtracted scheme) between QCD and any effective field theory with heavy quarks where, besides the usual perturbative matching, the first renormalon in the Borel plane of the pole mass is subtracted. A determination of the bottom $\MS$ quark mass from the $Υ(1S)$ system is performed with this new scheme and the errors studied. Our result reads $m_{b,\MS}(m_{b,\MS})=4 210^{+90}_{-90}({\rm theory})^{-25}_{+25}(α_s)$ MeV. Using the mass difference between the $B$ and $D$ meson, we also obtain a value for the charm quark mass: $m_{c,\MS}(m_{c,\MS})=1 210^{+70}_{-70}({\rm theory})^{+65}_{-65}(m_{b,\MS})^{-45}_{+45}(λ_1)$ MeV. We finally discuss upon eventual improvements of these determinations.

The QCD potential at O(1/m^2): Complete spin-dependent and spin-independent result

Within an effective field theory framework, we obtain an expression, with O(1/m^2) accuracy, for the energies of the gluonic excitations between heavy quarks, which holds beyond perturbation theory. For the singlet heavy quark--antiquark energy, in particular, we also obtain an expression in terms of Wilson loops. This provides, twenty years after the seminal work of Eichten and Feinberg, the first complete expression for the heavy quarkonium potential up to O(1/m^2) for pure gluodynamics. Several errors present in the previous literature (also in the work of Eichten and Feinberg) have been corrected. We also briefly discuss the power counting of NRQCD in the non-perturbative regime.

The Renormalization Group Improvement of the QCD Static Potentials

We resum the leading ultrasoft logs of the singlet and octet static QCD potentials within potential NRQCD. We then obtain the complete three-loop renormalization group improvement of the singlet QCD static potential. The discrepancies between the perturbative evaluation and the lattice results at short distances are slightly reduced.
