High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2026-05-12 v1

Abstract

We present the perturbative heavy-quark condensate at five-loop order in QCD. This constitutes the first calculation at this order accounting for non-vanishing quark masses. Our result confirms the computation of the five-loop vacuum anomalous dimension by Baikov and Chetyrkin.
