    Four-loop relation between the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} and on-shell quark mass

    Full text link
    In this contribution we discuss the four-loop relation between the on-shell and MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} definition of heavy quark masses which is applied to the top, bottom and charm case. We also present relations between the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} quark mass and various threshold mass definitions and discuss the uncertainty at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Radiative Corrections (Radcor 2015) and LoopFest XIV (Radiative Corrections for the LHC and Future Colliders

    Quark mass relations to four-loop order

    Full text link
    We present results for the relation between a heavy quark mass defined in the on-shell and MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} scheme to four-loop order. The method to compute the four-loop on-shell integral is briefly described and the new results are used to establish relations between various short-distance masses and the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} quark mass to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy. These relations play an important role in the accurate determination of the MSˉ\bar{\rm MS} heavy quark masses.Comment: 6 pages, v2: references added, typos in eq.(16) fixed, matches published versio

    (g−2)μ(g-2)_\mu at four loops in QED

    Full text link
    We review the four-loop QED corrections to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. The fermionic contributions with closed electron and tau contributions are discussed. Furthermore, we report on a new independent calculation of the universal four-loop contribution and compare with existing results.Comment: 6 pages, Contribution to the proceedings of the International workshop on e+e- collisions from Phi to Psi 2017, v2: references adde

    MS‾\overline{\rm MS}-on-shell quark mass relation up to four loops in QCD and a general SU(N)(N) gauge group

    Full text link
    In this paper we compute the relation between heavy quark masses defined in the modified minimal subtraction and on-shell scheme. Detailed results are presented for all coefficients of the SU(Nc)(N_c) colour factors. The reduction of the four-loop on-shell integrals is performed for a general QCD gauge parameter. Some of the about 380 master integrals are computed analytically, others with high numerical precision based on Mellin-Barnes representations, and the rest numerically with the help of {\tt FIESTA}. We discuss in detail the precise numerical evaluation of the four-loop master integrals. Updated relations between various short-distance masses and the MS‾\overline{\rm MS} quark mass to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order accuracy are provided for the charm, bottom and top quark. We discuss the dependence on the renormalization and factorization scale.Comment: 53 pages, 11 figures, v2: minor changes, references added, corresponds to published versio

    Matching the heavy-quark fields in QCD and HQET at four loops

    Get PDF
    The QCD/HQET matching coefficient for the heavy-quark field is calculated up to four loops. It must be finite; this requirement produces analytical results for some terms in the four-loop on-shell heavy-quark field renormalization constant which were previously only known numerically. The effect of a non-zero lighter-flavor mass is calculated up to three loops. A class of on-shell integrals with two masses is analyzed in detail. By specifying our result to QED, we obtain the relation between the electron field and the Bloch--Nordsieck field with four-loop accuracy.Comment: 20 pages. v2: ref.

    Light-by-light-type corrections to the muon anomalous magnetic moment at four-loop order

    Full text link
    The numerically dominant QED contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon stem from Feynman diagrams with internal electron loops. We consider such corrections and present a calculation of the four-loop light-by-light-type corrections where the external photon couples to a closed electron or muon loop. We perform an asymptotic expansion in the ratio of electron and muon mass and reduce the resulting integrals to master integrals which we evaluate using analytical and numerical methods. We confirm the results present in the literature which are based on different computational methods.Comment: 16 page

    We compute the on-shell wave function renormalization constant to four-loop order in QCD and present numerical results for all coefficients of the SU(Nc) color factors. We extract the four-loop Heavy Quark Effective Theory anomalous dimension of the heavy-quark field and also discuss the application of our result to QED
