Abstract

Analytic continuation of the perturbative series from spacelike to timelike regions is performed using renormalization group summed perturbation theory (RGSPT). This method provides an all-order summation of kinematic ``π2\pi^2-terms'' accessible from a given order of a perturbative series. The impact of the summation of these terms is studied for Higgs boson decay and electromagnetic R-ratio in the perturbative QCD. Results obtained using RGSPT have improved convergence behavior in addition to significantly reduced renormalization scale dependence compared to fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT). The higher-order behavior using the Pad\'e approximant is also studied for processes considered.
