We consider the currents formed by a heavy and a light quark within Quantum Chromodynamics and compute the matching to Heavy Quark Effective Theory to three-loop accuracy. As an application we obtain the third-order perturbative corrections to ratios of B-meson decay constants.
All three-loop on-shell QCD Feynman integrals with two masses can be reduced to 27 master integrals. Here we calculate these master integrals, expanded in epsilon, both exactly in the mass ratio and as series in limiting cases.
We present the three-loop QCD corrections to the quark chromomagnetic moment including two different nonzero masses. This is a necessary ingredient to obtain the corresponding corrections to the chromomagnetic coefficient in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) Lagrangian.
We compute the three-loop relation between the pole and the minimally subtracted quark mass allowing for virtual effects from a second massive quark. We also consider the analogue effects for the on-shell wave function renormalization constant.
