Asymptotic structure of perturbative series for tau lepton observables

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-09-13 v1

Abstract

We analyze tau lepton decay observables, namely moments of the hadronic spectral density in the finite energy interval (0,M_\tau), within finite order perturbation theory including \alpha_s^4 corrections. The start of asymptotic growth of perturbation theory series is found at this order in a scheme invariant manner. We establish the ultimate accuracy of finite order perturbation theory predictions and discuss the construction of optimal observables.
