Analytic Perturbation Theory for Practitioners and Upsilon Decay
Within the ghost-free Analytic Perturbation Theory (APT), devised in the last
decade for low energy QCD, simple approximations are proposed for 3-loop
analytic couplings and their effective powers, in both the space-like
(Euclidean) and time-like (Minkowskian) regions, accurate enough in the large
range (1--100 GeV) of current physical interest.\par Effectiveness of the new
Model is illustrated by the example of decay where the
standard analysis gives value that is
inconsistent with the bulk of data for .
Instead, we obtain that
corresponds to that is close to the world
average.\par The issue of scale uncertainty for decay is also
discussed.Comment: 12 pages, 0 figures. Model slightly modified to increase its
accuracy. Numerical results upgraded, references added. The issue of scale
uncertainty is discusse
