One loop MSbar gluon pole mass from the LCO formalism

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We compute the one loop corrections to the pole mass of the gluon in the MSbar scheme in the Landau gauge in both the Curci-Ferrari model and the local composite operator formalism with Nf flavours of massless quarks. For the latter we determine an estimate for the gluon mass using the effective potential of a local dimension two composite operator and find, for example, m_{gluon} = 2.10 Lambda_MSbar in Yang-Mills theory.
