Setting the renormalization scale in pQCD: Comparisons of the principle of maximum conformality with the sequential extended Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie approach

Journal Article Ma, Hong -Hao ; Wu, Xing -Gang ; Ma, Yang ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions is how to set the renormalization scale of the running coupling unambiguously at each finite order. The elimination of the uncertainty in setting the renormalization scale in pQCD will greatly increase the precision of collider tests of the Standard Model and the sensitivity to new phenomena. Renormalization group invariance requires that predictions for observables must also be independent on the choice of the renormalization scheme. The well-known Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie (BLM) approach cannot be easily extended beyond next-to-next-to-leading order of pQCD. Several suggestions have been proposed to extend the BLM approach tomore »« less

Infinite-order scale-setting using the principle of maximum conformality: A remarkably efficient method for eliminating renormalization scale ambiguities for perturbative QCD

Journal Article Di Giustino, Leonardo ; Brodsky, Stanley J. ; Wang, Sheng-Quan ; ... - Physical Review. D.

We identify a property of renormalizable SU(N)/U(1) gauge theories, intrinsic conformality (iCF), which underlies the scale invariance of physical observables and leads to a remarkably efficient method to solve the conventional renormalization scale ambiguity at every order in perturbative QCD (pQCD): the PMC_∞ . This new method reflects the underlying conformal properties displayed by pQCD at next-to-next-to-leading order, eliminates the scheme dependence of pQCD predictions, and is consistent with the general properties of the principle of maximum conformality (PMC). We introduce a new method to identify conformal and β -terms which can be applied from either a numerical or anmore »« less

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

Journal Article Brodsky, Stanley J ; /SLAC /Southern Denmark U., CP3-Origins ; Di Giustino, Leonardo ; ... - Submitted to Physics Letters B

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD predictions is the uncertainty in determining the renormalization scale {mu} of the running coupling {alpha}{sub s}({mu}{sup 2}): The purpose of the running coupling in any gauge theory is to sum all terms involving the {beta} function; in fact, when the renormalization scale is set properly, all non-conformal {beta} {ne} 0 terms in a perturbative expansion arising from renormalization are summed into the running coupling. The remaining terms in the perturbative series are then identical to that of a conformal theory; i.e., the corresponding theory with {beta} = 0. The resulting scale-fixed predictionsmore »« less

Scale Setting Using the Extended Renormalization Group and the Principle of Maximal Conformality: the QCD Coupling at Four Loops

Journal Article Brodsky, Stanley J ; /SLAC ; Wu, Xing-Gang ; ... - Phys.Rev.D85:034038,2012

A key problem in making precise perturbative QCD predictions is to set the proper renormalization scale of the running coupling. The extended renormalization group equations, which express the invariance of physical observables under both the renormalization scale- and scheme-parameter transformations, provide a convenient way for estimating the scale- and scheme-dependence of the physical process. In this paper, we present a solution for the scale-equation of the extended renormalization group equations at the four-loop level. Using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC)/Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie (BLM) scale-setting method, all non-conformal {beta}{sub i} terms in the perturbative expansion series can be summed into the runningmore »« less
