Abstract

Based on a simple but effective regularization-renormalization method (RRM), the running coupling constants (RCC) of fermions with masses in quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are calculated by renormalization group equation (RGE). Starting at Q=0 (QQ being the momentum transfer), the RCC in QED increases with the increase of QQ whereas the RCCs for different flavors of quarks with masses in QCD are different and they increase with the decrease of QQ to reach a maximum at low QQ for each flavor of quark and then decreases to zero at Q0Q\longrightarrow 0. The physical explanation is given.
