Novel demonstration of the renormalization group invariance of the fixed-order predictions using the principle of maximum conformality and the $C$ -scheme coupling

Journal Article Wu, Xing-Gang ; Shen, Jian-Ming ; Du, Bo-Lun ; ... - Physical Review D

As a basic requirement of the renormalization group invariance, any physical observable must be independent of the choice of both the renormalization scheme and the initial renormalization scale. Here in this article, we show that by using the newly suggested C -scheme coupling, one can obtain a demonstration that the principle of maximum conformality prediction is scheme-independent to all-orders for any renormalization schemes, thus satisfying all of the conditions of the renormalization group invariance. We illustrate these features for the nonsinglet Adler function and for τ decay to ν+ hadrons at the four-loop level.

Solution to the $γ γ^{*} \to η_{c}$ puzzle using the principle of maximum conformality

Journal Article Wang, Sheng-Quan ; Wu, Xing-Gang ; Sang, Wen-Long ; ... - Physical Review D

Here, the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) pQCD prediction for the γγ* → η_c form factor was evaluated in 2015 using nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD). A strong discrepancy between the NRQCD prediction and the BABAR measurements was observed. Until now there has been no solution for this puzzle. In this paper, we present a NNLO analysis by applying the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) to set the renormalization scale. By carefully dealing with the light-by-light diagrams at the NNLO level, the resulting high precision PMC prediction agrees with the BABAR measurements within errors, and the conventional renormalization scale uncertainty is eliminated. The PMC ismore »« less

Thrust distribution in electron-positron annihilation using the principle of maximum conformality

Journal Article Wang, Sheng-Quan ; Brodsky, Stanley J. ; Wu, Xing-Gang ; ... - Physical Review D

We present a comprehensive and self-consistent analysis for the thrust distribution by using the principle of maximum conformality (PMC). By absorbing all nonconformal terms into the running coupling using PMC via renormalization group equation, the scale in the running coupling shows the correct physical behavior and the correct number of active flavors is determined. The resulting PMC predictions agree with the precise measurements for both the thrust differential distributions and the thrust mean values. Moreover, we provide a new remarkable way to determine the running of the coupling constant α_s(Q²) from the measurement of the jet distributions in electron-positron annihilationmore »« less
